Peter La Fleur: Are you sure that this is completely necessary?

Patches O'Houlihan: No, but I do it anyway because it's sterile and I like the taste.
Trivia: Make sure to stay after the credits have ended. There is an extra scene with Ben Stiller looking very different. (01:28:05)

Chosen answer: "Deus Ex Machina" means "God out of the machine." It's from Greek plays, wherein a god would appear at the end of the story to solve a problem. Nowadays it basically means that a totally new plot element appears out of nowhere and solves everything. It's an easy (and cheap) way out.
