Quotes6

  • Studio Executive Rob Slolom: Wow. 8 Oscars, 400 million dollars, and you saved Tugg Speedman's career.
  • Les Grossman: I couldn't have done it without you.
  • Studio Executive Rob Slolom: Really?
  • Les Grossman: No, dickhead. Of course I could. A nutless monkey could do your job. Now, go get drunk and take credit at all the parties.
  • Studio Executive Rob Slolom: I wouldn't do that.
  • Les Grossman: Ah... joking.
  • Studio Executive Rob Slolom: Ah, there he is! Funny. You're a funny guy.
  • Les Grossman: Yeah. But seriously, a nutless monkey could do your job.
  • Four Leaf Tayback: Spanking a child turns him into a snot. Fear, that's what makes him a man. I know a place where a man's worth is measured by the ears hanging off his dog tags. The real hardcore shit! You wanna make this movie right? That's where you take your pansy ass actors.
  • Les Grossman: [beat] Who is this guy?
  • Studio Executive Rob Slolom: Les, that's Four Leaf.
  • Four Leaf Tayback: Sergeant Four Leaf Tayback. I wrote the book.
  • Les Grossman: Wow. You're a great American. This nation owes you a huge debt. Now shut the fuck up and let me do my job!
  • Les Grossman: Speedman is a dying star. A white dwarf headed for a black hole. That's physics. It's inevitable.
  • Studio Executive Rob Slolom: We've been handed an incredible opportunity here, Peck.
  • Les Grossman: The universe... is talking to us right now. You just gotta listen.
  • [turns on T-Pain's Apple Bottom Jeans and begins to dance to the beat]
  • Les Grossman: See, this is the good part, Pecker. This is when the job gets fun! Ask... and you shall receive!
  • Studio Executive Rob Slolom: [dancing along] Right...
  • Les Grossman: You play ball... we play ball. I knoowwww... you want the goodies!
  • Studio Executive Rob Slolom: Welcome to the goodie room!
  • Les Grossman: You paying attention? I'm talking... G5, Pecker! That's how you can roll. No more frequent flyer bitch miles for my boy! Oh yeah! Playa... playa! Big dick playa!
  • Studio Executive Rob Slolom: Swinging past ya knees!
  • Les Grossman: Big dick, baby!
  • Studio Executive Rob Slolom: Yep.
  • Les Grossman: [turns off the music] Or... you can grow a conscience in the next five minutes and see where that takes you.
  • Rick Peck: Let me get this straight. You want me to let my client of 15 years, one of my best friends, die in the jungle alone, for some money and a G5?
  • Les Grossman: Yes.
  • Rick Peck: [pause] A G5 airplane?
  • Les Grossman: [whispering] Yes... and lots of money... playaaaa!
  • [turns on the music and dances again]
  • Rick Peck: [about Speedman] They're going to kill him!
  • Les Grossman: And we'll weep for him... in the press, set up a scholarship in his name, eventually - and I'm talkin' way, way down the road - we file an insurance claim.
  • Studio Executive Rob Slolom: Preferably before the end of the fiscal year. Actually, the claim alone would net us more than the movie would lose.
  • Studio Executive Rob Slolom: It's Les Grossman. He throws these words around. "Crisis", "explosion", "not rolling", "fired". These are just words.
  • Les Grossman: What you gotta do is pull down their pants and spank their ass, you spank it.
  • Studio Executive Rob Slolom: You spank that ass Les!
