The Dream of Importance and Recognition
Bobby Bowfinger
See that FedEx truck? Every day, it delivers important papers to people all around the world. And one day, it is going to stop here, and a man is going to walk up and casually toss a couple of FedExes on my desk. And at that moment, we- and by we, I mean me - will be important.
[looking at FedEx truck coming into his street]

Complications in Filmmaking and Blackmail Concerns
Kit
Hey, ]. It's not funny!
[with head covered by a paper bag; [w:Laker Girls|Laker Girls; partly opens coat to show his naked body; Laker Girls laugh; scampers off]
Terry Stricter
You realize all courts in the country would consider this blackmail!
Bobby Bowfinger
I don't know anything about blackmail. I'm just a guy with a great film. I need a shot of Kit saying, "Gotcha, suckers" and a couple of close-ups. Or we'll use a shot of Kit wagging his thing at the Laker Girls. Which is a great ending, though not such a good ending for Kit. It could sort of stop his money flow and possibly make that family film he's about to do, just go, pfft.
Stricter
We'll have to think about it. We'll have to think about it, for Kit.
Bowfinger
Now that you've had time to think about it, what do you and the other fellows here at MindF'ng Head think?

I know I shouldn't do this, I just want you to know that you were so real in your response to the aliens. I wasn't even sure I could be a pod person, but now I'm enjoying it because you made the aliens come alive. It was like they were living inside of me. At first I was nervous about us having sex but now I think it's fine as long as we do it in a professional manner. There'll be a lot of people watching. I won't bother you anymore.
[faces Kit; lightly touches Kit's cheek with her hand. Kit gets unsettled]

Oscar Nominations and Racial Stereotypes in Hollywood
Kit Ramsey
White boys get all the Oscars. It's a fact. Did I ever get a nomination? No and you know why? Cause I ain't played none of them slave roles, or get my ass whipped. That's when you get the nominations. Black dude play a slave role, gets his ass whipped, gets the nomination, white boy play an idiot, they get the Oscar. Find me a script as a retarded slave, then I'll get the Oscar.
[lamenting to his agent about being passed over for choice roles and the agent could hardly get a word edgewise]
