* **Grossberg:** This is your first time in the Big Leagues, isn't it? **Mia:** No, we're in a courtroom. **Grossberg:** No, it's gonna turn into a baseball thing. M**ia:** Oh god, again?! **Grossberg:** April Fool's, bitch.
* **Mia:** Right, Mr... hehe... Wright. **Phoenix:** What's so funny? I don't get it. **Mia:** Your name's Wright. **Phoenix:** Okay. **Mia:** So I said the word 'right.' **Phoenix:** Yeah. **Mia:** And then I said it twice. **Phoenix:** Mm-hmm. **Mia:** But one was the word and one was your name. It's funny. **Phoenix:** Still don't get it but proceed.

* **Payne:** I'm hurt that you have such a low opinion of me, Ms. Fey. **Mia:** I mean, are you surprised though?

* **Phoenix:** I wonder if I should ask him about what happened last night in more detail. Or about why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch, 'cause I feel like this guy would know... **Atmey:** Umm, because of their... value? **Phoenix:** Is that why? That might be it. It sounds plausible.
* **Maya:** Haven't you ever played wheel of Fortune? **Phoenix:** No, because Rat Sajak is gross. **Maya:** You met Rat Sajak. **Phoenix:** It was awkward. **Maya:** Yeah, it was really awkward actually, but we got a lot of money out of it. Too bad we blew it all on alcohol and gambling. **Phoenix:** And alcohol. **Maya:** Yeah, and more alcohol. You should have drank some of that alcohol. **Phoenix:** We just poured it on the street and lit in on fire. I mean, sometimes you just wanna watch the street burn.

But I can tell you've got a good heart even though you outran the police, which you just openly admitted to like, two minutes ago. **Desir**é**e:** I don't give a fuck, bitch. **Maya:** Okay. That's not legal.
* [Bagel Cop plays the piano] **Phoenix:** Bagel Cop, that sounds wonderful. **Bagel Cop:** Thank you. I've been playing since I was like, ten. **Phoenix:** That sounds nice. **Bagel Cop:** Thank you. It's actually kind of my true passion. **Phoenix:** \*sniffle\* (I think I'm going to cry. I really want Bagel Cop to succeed.) **Bagel Cop:** I practice every day in my private time, but... **Ron:** Umm... I, err... I know you have a lot of work to do... because piano takes a lot of practice and daily... daily practice. I tried to learn once and I broke my fingers.
* **Phoenix:** Hey uh Pearls, everything doesn't have to be strawberry. **Pearl:** Yes it does, bitch. **Phoenix:** Okay, I guess it does.

Bye, bitch!! **Phoenix:** Huh!? Wh-where are you going..? **Pearl:** None of your business, bitch! **Phoenix:** Why don't you call me Nick, or Phoenix..?
* **Atmey:** I refuse to allow anyone to interfere with the rightful pursuit of my prey. **Phoenix:** Are you going to eat him one day? **Atmey:** Oh I'm going to eat him, I'm going to vore him.
* **Maya:** So, how do you do it? How do you break the Psyche-Lock thing? Punch it real hard? **Phoenix:** Well, you-- no, you present the Magatama to the person with the secret. **Maya:** Have you ever tried punching it real hard? **Phoenix:** I haven't, actually? Maybe I should...
* **Phoenix:** I'm not sure why, but this Atmey guy is lying through his teeth. **Atmey (with clenched teeth):** Ner Irm nert. **Phoenix:** He can open his mouth a little more when he talks.
