Quotes

[first lines]
Elliot: Hello, friend. Hello, friend? That's lame. Maybe I should give you a name. But that's a slippery slope. You're only in my head. We have to remember that.

Alternate Versions

In the original version of the pilot, Elliot's opening monologue is longer: he explains to the audience that he does not believe dinosaurs existed, but does believe in aliens. Ron's Coffee Shop was originally called Phil's and his dialogue included more of Ron's background. Ollie was an Iranian character named Ali. The role of hacker Romero was recast following the screening of the pilot at SXSW, and the scenes were re-shot. In the original pilot Romero was played by Michael Buscemi, the brother of actor Steve Buscemi.

Simple Amazing

Third time to watch this and it's getting better every time. Im glad for Malek s golden globe win in bohemian Rhapsody as Freddy mercury. And he won emmy too for this. Geniously written and marvelous dialogue and Outstanding acting and writing.
