Movie Quote Quiz

The Caller: If you have to ask, you're not ready to know yet.

Stu: You shoot the guy, and I'm responsible?

Stu: I don't know what I did to you, but whatever it was I'm glad. Alright, I wish it had been worse, I wish you had fucking died.
The Caller: Yes! Finally some honesty.

The Caller: It's not in your best interest to disconnect me.

Stu: So you're an actor?
The Caller: Yes, one of your pathetic failed ones. You don't have to come find me and ruin me, I can't get work as it is. I've done some off-Broadway, some off-Manhattan, but that dried up. Now I wait tables, clean toilets, anything I can to make the rent. I'm a walking cliché.

Felicia: You better get out of there before he come back and kick yo' ass.

The Caller: Come on Stu. You're a selfish guy. Just pick one of them and save yourself.

Capt. Ramey: Well, you need a good one now.

Stu: Where? Where are you?
The Caller: There are hundred of windows out there. Why don't you check them out?

The Caller: Stu, if you hang up, I will kill you.

The Caller: Come on, Stu! Don't you get the game yet?

Stu: Don't you dare fucking hurt her.
The Caller: Don't I dare?

Stu: The first step to being noticed is being mentioned.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where the pimp starts shaking the phone booth, ad cards and Stu's wedding ring are visible on top of the phone. After the "shaking" the ad cards and ring are gone. A few minutes later the ad cards are back, mixed in with the broken glass. (00:25:15)

Trivia: The big speech from "Couldn't you find anyone worse? A child molester..." to the bit where Stu is shot was filmed in one take. Colin Farrel did everything and surprised himself and the crew. When he hit the floor, the crew (and the extras) had to contain their applause until the cameras stopped rolling.

Question: Are the pizza delivery guy and The Caller two different characters? I was always under the impression that they were one and the same.

Answer: The pizza man is intended by the Caller to be a decoy so he can get away. The Caller sends the pizza man to the phone booth so that Stu will identify him later in the apartment, giving the police a convenient answer to the mystery while the real Caller escapes. In fact, at the end of the movie, the Caller comes to visit Stu - obviously he's not the dead pizza delivery man.
