Movie Quote Quiz

Abe: Aaron, I can imagine no way in which this thing could be considered anywhere remotely close to safe. All I know is I spent six hours in there and I'm still alive... You still want to do it?

Aaron: We know everything, okay? We're prescient.

Aaron: Man, are you hungry? I haven't eaten since later this afternoon.

Aaron: Look, I know that things are bad, okay? I know that you don't agree with what I've done, I know that you're upset and to be honest I'm not too happy with you either right now. But you know that this is gonna pass. So let's just go, let's get out there, let's go somewhere where we don't speak the language.

Aaron: You know that story, about how NASA spent millions of dollars developing this pen that writes in Zero G? Did you ever read that?
Abe: Yeah.
Aaron: You know how the Russians solved the problem?
Abe: Yeah, they used a pencil.
Aaron: Right. A normal wooden pencil. It just seems like Philip takes the NASA route almost every time.

Aaron: Look, Abe, look, I'm not going to pretend like I know anything, OK, about paradoxes, you know, or what follows them. And, honestly, I really don't believe in any of that group anyway, you know, kill your mom before you're born, whatever. It must work itself out, somehow.

Abe: What'd you do to this thing?
Aaron: Huh? What?
Abe: It looks like a dog digested it.

Abe: I just want you to see it the way I saw it.
Aaron: I am trying, OK, I really am here.
Abe: Look, everything we're putting into that box becomes ungrounded, and I don't mean grounded like to the earth, I mean, not tethered. I mean, we're blocking whatever keeps it moving forward and so they flip-flop. Inside the box it's like a street, both ends are cul-de-sacs. I mean, this isn't frame dragging or wormhole magic this is basic mechanics and heat 101.
Aaron: This is not mechanics and heat.

Abe: Do you have anything important going on at work today?
Aaron: I hope you're not implying that any day is unimportant at Cortex Semi.

Aaron: That is no static shock.

Factual error: The garage scientists are setting up an experiment. One of the guys goes to tighten the terminals of a battery. He grabs one in each hand and proceeds to tighten them. If he had done that to a real battery he would have gotten the shock of his life. (00:12:00)
