Quotes
Morgan: Do you think the two of us will wind up with smart, beautiful, sexually adventuresome girls on Valentine's Day?
Big Mike: The answer is no. Two jackasses like you, landing two hot pieces like Anna and Blondie? It's a cruel trick of nature.
Casey: I'm afraid you two are gonna have to drop your dating cover for this particular assignment.
Sarah: No problem.
Chuck: What is it, Thai street racing gang, Ukrainian prostituting ring?
Casey: No, for this mission you and Agent Walker are gonna be married.
Morgan: Gentlemen, I think that I speak for all of us when I say that the only reason that I took this job at the Buy More was to do as little work as humanly possible. The big man, he made that dream a reality.
Lester: That man's an inspiration to slackers everywhere.
Emmett: Where do you meet people you don't have to pay for sex?
Morgan: Listen to me, everybody is taller and thinner online.
Lester: It's called the "Internet Hotness Conversation Factor".
Morgan: Gee whiz, Mike, we're trying to help you find love here. Dirty, nasty, filthy love.
Sylvia: Mr. Carmichael, I didn't expect you to come so quickly.
Chuck: Charles Carmichael always comes quickly.
Chuck: Casey, I'm handcuffed.
Casey: Relax. Handcuffs are a cinch.
Chuck: Really?
Casey: Yeah, there's a bone in your thumb, tiny bone. Really easy to break. What you're gonna want to do is you're gonna want to apply torsional pressure to it until it snaps.
Chuck: I'm not gonna break my bone!
Casey: Well, in that case, you are screwed.
Lester: Hey! How was the big date?
Big Mike: Gentlemen. It was a night of exquisite passion, I did things with that woman I didn't even know existed, which are likely illegal.
Lester: Yes! So you took our advice?
Big Mike: I lied my ass off.
