- Adrian Dreyfus: It's not working. Something's not right.
- Daniel: Maybe it's the fact that they're in an evergreen forest in the middle of winter and it's supposed to be passing as the Congo jungle.
- Adrian Dreyfus: No. That's not it.
- Adrian Dreyfus: Okay, now also, I want to replace the whole background there with mountains and a smoking volcano. And a couple of birds flying over... and then down in front here, a whole bunch more jungle stuff - jungly - and then a snake, kinda hissing and salivating. What do you think?
- Daniel: So you want everything changed.
- Adrian Dreyfus: Yeah. Why not? I mean... this sucks.
- Daniel: Then why don't we just film this in the studio in front of a green screen? It would be a lot easier.
- Adrian Dreyfus: Daniel, if we do that, we lose the natural lighting. We lose the integration.
- Daniel: But you're just gonna take out everything they're integrating with in the first place.
- Adrian Dreyfus: [pause] What?
- Daniel: [Speaking slowly and carefully] It would be much easier if we filmed this in front of a green screen. In a controlled atmosphere we can match the lighting there.
- Adrian Dreyfus: Yeah, but then we wouldn't be filming here.
- Buster Owens: Come on just... be straight with me, would you? I'm not gonna tell anybody.
- Miles Smith: I was, uh... hijacking the movie.
- Rick Steiner: So, do you have a demo reel I can see of your work?
- Miles Smith: No, um, but I can get you references.
- Rick Steiner: Who?
- Miles Smith: [after a pause] Mom and Dad?
- Rick Steiner: Hmm. Impressive.
- Jake: [as "Jack Derringer," speaking the final lines of the movie within the movie, "Marauders of the Door of Doom"] "You're the most amazing woman I've ever found... in this jungle.
- Daniel: Do we get code names? I call Hawkeye.
- Miles Smith: Uh, sure.
- Daniel: Sweet!
- Cynthia: Well, if he gets to be Hawkeye, I wanna be Hot Lips.
- Daniel: Umm... no code names.
- Adrian Dreyfus: Ren, buddy. You seem pretty tense lately.
- Ren Fields: Well... it's just that... I think I'm being watched.
- Adrian Dreyfus: Okay. By who?
- Ren Fields: CIA maybe. Likely the FBI.
- Adrian Dreyfus: Maybe aliens!
- Ren Fields: Don't be ridiculous!
- Adrian Dreyfus: [laughing] Me, ridiculous! Talk about the pot calling the kettle fat!
- Miles Smith: I seriously don't think we can make it with this piece of crap.
- Daniel: I could see if I could squeeze some more horsepower out of it.
- Miles Smith: Would you, please?
- Daniel: I'll get started on that right now. I'm sure with the lack of sleep, I'll run a higher risk of soldering my hand to the motherboard.
- Miles Smith: That's a risk I'm willing to take.
- Buster Owens: You know, I don't think it's even allowed for somebody to get this jaded so soon.
- Miles Smith: I came into this jaded. I mean, ever since college life's been one boot to the head after another.
- Buster Owens: Yeah, well, I know how that goes.
- Miles Smith: So then you understand why we have to do this.
- Buster Owens: I think you're crazy.
- Miles Smith: Takes one to know one, buddy.
- Buster Owens: Come again?
- Miles Smith: I looked you up online last night. You were a special brand of retro-crazy.
- Buster Owens: Yeah, well, that was when I was young and stupid.
- Miles Smith: Adrian didn't even think twice about it. I don't even think he's read the full screenplay.
- Jake: [Chuckling] Well, neither have I!
- [Wilhelm and Cynthia glare at him]
- Adrian Dreyfus: That's just a little thing we do to the new guys. It, uh, weeds out the wimps. Hope I didn't scare ya!
- Miles Smith: [laughs] No.
- Adrian Dreyfus: [laughs] Good to have you aboard! You can touch the camera. I was just messin' with ya!
- [laughs]
- Adrian Dreyfus: Okay, everybody! Whattaya say we make some magic?
- Buster Owens: Welcome to Bourgeois, kid.
- Dolores: Do you think it's a smart idea, Buster?
- Buster Owens: Well, it may not be smart, but... I sure as heck wanna do it. Come on! What have we got to lose here?
- Tim: Our jobs!
- Buster Owens: Sure. And are they so worth keeping? I know I'd get as much satisfaction out of shooting industrials as the garbage we shoot at Bourgeois.
- Jake: You're lucky I like you guys, 'cause this was totally not in my contract. Being lit on fire, jumping into... lion pits...
- Miles Smith: I definitely did not tell Tim to have you do that. Just let that be known.
