Arnie: A little flirtation is harmless but you're dealing with fire here. The fidelity bank and trust is a tough creditor. You make a deposit somewhere else, they close your account - forever.
Jack: I'm in the middle of a deal.
Cash: Well, you're working on a new deal now, baby.
Annie: Do you like kids?

Annie: Do you know how to make chocolate milk?
Jack: I think I could figure it out.
Annie: Promise you won't kidnap me and my brother and plant stuff in our brains?

Annie: They did a pretty good job.
Jack: Who did?
Annie: The aliens, in the mothership. You look just like him.

Jack: I'm sorry I was such a saint before, and I'm such a prick now.
