[edit] Dialogue
- Skroeder: [about Number 5, who is malfunctioning] Maybe it's pissed off.
- Crosby: It's a machine, Skroeder. It doesn't get pissed off. It doesn't get happy, it doesn't get sad, it doesn't laugh at your jokes.
- Ben and Crosby: It just runs programs.
- Howard: It usually runs programs.
- Crosby: Where are you from, anyway?
- Ben: Bakersfield, originally.
- Crosby: No, I mean your ancestors.
- Ben: Oh, them. Pittsburgh.
- [when Crosby and Ben take Number 1 to find Number 5]
- Howard: Great. So, instead of $11,000,000 on the loose, we'll have 22,000,000.
- Ben: Also we are needing gas money.
[edit] Other
