  Owen Templeton : Sorry, this is a one way flight. There's a bathroom in the back.

  Lucy : The latch is broken. Anyone could just walk right in.

  Owen Templeton : So? Look, you ain't got nothin' these other Lucys haven't seen before.

  Lucy : [man's voice]  Not necessarily.

• Enrico Pollini : I am Enrico Pollini. Now, I know what you are thinking... Enrico is a girl's name.

  Owen Templeton : No I wasn't.

  Enrico Pollini : No pun intended.

  Owen Templeton : What pun was that?

• [Talking about Sinclair and his idea for them competing in the "race"] 

  Merrill : It's some sort of joke. It has to be.

  Duane Cody : What kind of jackass just gives away $2 million?

  Owen Templeton : Maybe it's a publicity stunt.

• Owen Templeton : I am not a bus driver! I do not work for the bus company! All right? I... I needed a ride to New Mexico, so I stole this uniform! See this jacket? This is not my jacket! Remember Marty, the bus driver? Huh? This is his shirt! I stole it! And these pants, you think I'd wear these pants? These aren't my pants! These are Marty's pants. I stole them. I am not a bus driver!

• Gus the Cabbie : [listening to football on cab's radio]  Confederate... confederate... THROW THE BALL! That's why you're not going to get drafted! You'll be lucky to play arena football in Barcelona!

  Gus the Cabbie : [to Owen]  You like football?

  Owen Templeton : [nervously]  Sure.

  Gus the Cabbie : Did you happen to catch that, uh, Dallas game last week? You can't really call it a game, it was more of an obscenity, a crime against football. I lost twenty grand on that game! And they would have won! Now I gotta work TWO shifts because of that idiot! I mean, Stevie Wonder coulda done a better job callin' that game.
