  • Number 5: Malfunction. Need input.
  • Stephanie Speck: Input. That's information! Listen, I am full of it.
  • Stephanie Speck: Life is NOT a malfunction.
  • Newton Crosby: OK. Listen closely. There's a priest, a minister, and a rabbi. They're out playing golf. They're deciding how much to give to charity. The priest says "We'll draw a circle on the ground, throw the money in the air, and whatever lands inside the circle, we'll give to charity." The minister says "No, we'll draw a circle on the ground, throw the money in the air, and whatever lands outside of the circle, that's what we'll give to charity." The rabbi says "No no no. We'll throw the money way up in the air, and whatever God wants, he keeps!"

  • Number 5: Jerk of the world: Turkey, idiot, pain in the ass.
  • Frank: [to Number 5] Listen, why don't you say we jump in my car and I'll take you home.

  • Number 5: No disassemble!
  • Stephanie Speck: Hey, wait! Where are you going?

  • Stephanie Speck: If one of them comes near you, you blast 'em! Just burn his butt with your laser.
  • Stephanie Speck: Yeah, I know that you think you're alive, but those guys who built you say "no way", and so I don't know what to think anymore.
