  • [Talking on his cell phone] I'm tellin' ya, I'm sitting in it right now. It's a brand new Porsche Carrera. The partners gave it to me. Mm-Hm, sugar. Brand new, arctic blue convertible. It goes zero to 60 in 5.2 seconds. Takes the girls' panties down in 3.5 seconds. [Phone line gets suddenly disrupted by Jessica and Ryan] Hey, this is a private call. Get off my line! Mom, are you still there?

Dialogue

edit
Ricky Martin: Mom, will you still be a science teacher when I get into high school?
Jessica Martin: Hmm... You never know. Why?
Ricky Martin: 'Cause I think it'd be kind of weird to have your mom as a teacher.
Ryan: It's Chloe!
Chad: No, dude, don't do this! Don't do this!
Ryan: I'm just gonna say "hi."
Chad: You're not gonna say "hi."
Ryan: No "hi"?
Chad: No "hi."
Ryan: I can't say...
Chad: [shouts] Come on, man! Hold it together! This girl, she dumped you, all right? Have some self-respect, have some dignity!
Ryan: You're right.
Chad: Be strong.
Ryan: You're right.
Chad: Yeah.
Ryan: Thank you.
Chad: All right.
[he gets distracted by girls in bikinis]
Chad: Oh! What's goin' on, ladies?
[Ryan leaves to go talk to Chloe]
[talking to Ryan on a payphone]
Chad: Dude, I have no idea what just happened. One minute I'm talking to nipples, next thing you know, I'm wearing a whale costume handing out flyers.
Ryan: [laughs] That sucks. Sounds like she got you.
Chad: I mean, I'm not saying it doesn't have its benefits.
[two girls that pass him by]
Chad: Hey, you guys know that a blue whale's got an 11-foot penis? Heal the Bay.
Jessica Martin: When I didn't show up for work today someone called the police, I'm sure.
Greer: You better hope they didn't.
Ryan escaped a car crash.
Jessica: Are you okay?
Ryan: We're okay. We're alive. We're breathing.
WLSUU2 Lawyer: [after Ryan swerves his car in front of him] What the hell is your problem, man? What the hell is your problem? You want to tussle?
Ryan: [pulls out his gun] Give me your phone!
WLSUU2 Lawyer: Oh snaps.
Ryan: Look, give me your phone or I shoot your car.
WLSUU2 Lawyer: Oh, hell no, hell no. Why would you want to do something awful like that?
[Ryan accidentally dials an artist on a payphone at Santa Monica Pier trying to reach Jessica's kidnappers]
Ryan: I got what you're looking for.
Vietnamese Artist: Oh?
Ryan: Yeah.
Vietnamese Artist: Okay, and what I do for it?
Ryan: What?
Vietnamese Artist: What I do for what I looking for? You tell me now.
Ryan: Wait, who's this? What number did I call?
Vietnamese Artist: You call me on the payphone. You waste my time. I have pictures to draw.
Ryan: Whoa, whoa, whoa, dude. Chill out.
Vietnamese Artist: No, you don't tell me what to chill. My mother tell me to chill. I sit here, I draw people telling me to chill out all the time. You don't tell me what to chill. I chill you.
Ethan: [learning that Jessica had escaped after she killed Mad Dog] Get outside now!
Ryan: [Ryan and Ethan are discussing a place to meet] Santa Monica Pier.
Ethan: No, too busy.
Ryan: Yeah, that's kind of the idea, dickhead.
Ryan: It doesn't make any sense, I give you the video, then you turn around and take us out.
Greer: I swore I wouldn't do that.
Ryan: Just like you swore "to protect and serve"?
Ethan: [on walkie talkie] We found him yet?
Dmitri: No, I don't see him.
Ethan: He's the one on the cell phone, you idiot.
[looks through his binoculars and sees various people on cell phones]
Dmitri: Everybody's on a cell phone.
Jack Tanner: I think all the chemicals from that beauty salon have gotten to your head.
Mooney: It's a day spa, you Jack.
[Mooney hesitates a bit, then shows Tanner Ryan's Cell Phone, front facing Tanner's face]
[Greer has Ryan pinned down and is about to shoot him]
Mooney: Let him up.
[Greer looks up and sees Mooney pointing a gun at him]
Ryan: Help me. They're dirty cops!
Greer: He attacked my partner. He tried to kill me.
Mooney: I said, "Let him up."
Greer: You're going to believe this lying piece of shot over a cop?
Mooney: It doesn't matter what I believe. What's important is that you believe I will put a bullet in your skull if you don't let him up.
Jessica Martin: I don't know if there's anything I could ever do to thank you.
Ryan: I do. Don't ever call me again.
