Uh, you know, Carl. Carl, this is the brass ring. Now you've got to think bigger thoughts.
Carl:
I just want her telephone number, that's all. Please?
Bishop:
Hey Abby, how about a lunch? You can chaperon.
Bernard Abbot: [Male NSA agents smirk]
No, I will not do this.

Hey, Abby, Abby, come on, now the FBI'd give him twins-
Abbot:
NO!

Wait a second. You can have anything you want, and you're asking for my phone number?
Carl:
Yes.
NSA Agent Mary:
273-9164. Area code 415.
Carl: [offers hand]
Thanks. I'm Carl.
NSA Agent Mary: [smiles while shaking Carl's hand]
I'm Mary.
Abbot:
I'm going to be sick. Are we done here?
Bishop:
Not yet. Whistler?
Whistler:
I want peace on earth and good will toward man.
Abbot:
Oh, this is ridiculous.
Bishop:
He's serious.
Whistler:
I want peace on earth and goodwill toward men.
Abbot:
We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.
Bishop:
You're just gonna have to try.
Abbot:
All right, I'll see what I can do.

Jannek must have figured out a way to solve those problems without the key and he hard-wired it into that chip.

Turn it off.
Whistler:
Anybody want to crash some passenger jets?
Crease:
I said turn it off.

Carl:
Me neither. I'm in.
Mother:
Uh... could we maybe just go back to the "they might kill us" part?

Mother, if I thought that was likely to happen, I wouldn't bring this to you. But there is a risk.
Whistler:
And it pays $175,000!
Mother:

You guys will be chalk outlines without me. All right, what do we need?
