Trivia

Big Mike’s line of  “I love the smell of Burbank in the morning. Smells like…victory” is almost a direct quote from the 1979 film Apocalypse Now. In the film, Lieutenant Colonel Kilgore delivers the same line, but with “napalm” instead of “Burbank.”

Quotes

Chuck: My handlers think that you’re Fulcrum and to be perfectly honest, I’m on the fence myself.
Orion: I’m not Fulcrum.
Chuck: Thanks. Thanks, I’m glad we cleared that up.

Chuck: When did this happen?
Lester: During the night. Look on the bright side, we don’t have to buy TP for years.
Jeff: Why start now?

John: No sign of Morgan, Jeff or Lester. Those morons have the computer, don’t they? Which one dies first?

Morgan: (Entering the Hollywood Buy More) Sir, what exactly are we doing here?
Big Mike: Payback!
Morgan: I see, does this payback involve illegal activities?
Big Mike: It damn well better!
