Daryl Zero: I always say that the essence of my work relies fundamentally on two basic principles: objectivity and observation, or "the two obs" as I call them. My work relies on my ability to remain absolutely, purely objective, detached. I have mastered the fine art of detachment. And while it comes at some cost, this supreme objectivity is what makes me, I dare say, the greatest observer the world has ever known. (Ace Goodman)
Daryl Zero: After investigating her, I found myself in better shape than ever before in my life. To me, she will always be a singular unforgettable event, the only time I ever took leave of my objectivity. Perhaps the most able blackmailer of her time, she was at once the worthiest opponent and the greatest ally, and the only woman I have ever... the only woman, period. And though I never would've anticipated it, in the end she did for me what I have done for so many: help solve a problem, first by observation, then by careful intervention - in other words, the Zero Effect. (Ace Goodman)
Daryl Zero: I did find one other thing of interest, though.
Steve Arlo: Holy shit, those are the keys. You found the gold Swiss Army knife.
Daryl Zero: I know.
Steve Arlo: And this is the safe deposit box key. Where'd you find them?
Daryl Zero: They were in the sofa, under the cushion.
Steve Arlo: What?
Daryl Zero: They were stuck in the couch in his office.
Steve Arlo: Was he hiding them there? Is that possible?
Daryl Zero: Not possible. That's where they fell out of his pocket, over a year ago.
Steve Arlo: So... what do you make of this?
Daryl Zero: I think that just as I feared, Ms. Sullivan doesn't know a thing about these keys.
Steve Arlo: Wait--the keys are a coincidence?
Daryl Zero: Yes.
Steve Arlo: That's--confusing.
Daryl Zero: Yep.
Steve Arlo: Doesn't seem like a good thing.
Daryl Zero: Sure it is. It's good because the man has been looking for his keys for a *year*. And I've found them. (Ace Goodman)
Steve Arlo: There aren't evil guys and innocent guys. It's just... It's just... It's just a bunch of guys. (Ace Goodman)

Daryl Zero: Now, a few words on looking for things. When you go looking for something specific, your chances of finding it are very bad. Because of all the things in the world, you're only looking for one of them. When you go looking for anything at all, your chances of finding it are very good. Because of all the things in the world, you're sure to find some of them. (Ace Goodman)
Daryl Zero: I can't possibly overstate the importance of good research. Everyone goes through life dropping crumbs. If you can recognize the crumbs, you can trace a path all the way back from your death certificate to the dinner and a movie that resulted in you in the first place. But research is an art, not a science, because anyone who knows what they're doing can find the crumbs, the wheres, whats, and whos. The art is in the whys: the ability to read between the crumbs, not to mix metaphors. For every event, there is a cause and effect. For every crime, a motive. And for every motive, a passion. The art of research is the ability to look at the details, and see the passion. (Ace Goodman)
Gloria Sullivan: What doesn't kill you defines you. (Ace Goodman)
Steve Arlo: Are you telling me you can speak six languages and fly a jetliner but you don't know how to file a tax return?... It's never come up?... Does this have to happen right now?... No, that's a "W-2." "WW2" was the Second World War. (Ace Goodman)
Gregory Stark: Is this your kid?
Steve Arlo: Nope. Just a rental. (Ace Goodman)
Mos: That hitcher you've put in is not too bad.
Zingo: It is good, isn't it! If we have a highly dangerous hitcher in the film, then we can't fail.
Mos: It becomes another dimension and oddly enough I think about Polanski. Suddenly comes Polanski.
Zingo: We oughta have Rutger, but it probably won't go. Or? Maybe!?
Mos: Who?
Zingo: Rutger Hauer! The the best actor in the world.
Baby: He has already played hitcher.
Zingo: You're right about that, it won't go. Too bad, I can't think of anybody else who would be better. (Ace Goodman)
Benno: The Germans like Scandinavian film. What could be more Scandinavian than a horny moose? (Ace Goodman)
Rune: A fine lad, that Zingo.
Margareta: I actually think he looks like a fish. (Ace Goodman)
Jocke: Yes! It is hot dog. It's so tasty with ketchup and mustard.
Ken Karlsson: And some Boston cucumber on the top!
Jocke: Boston cucumber tastes like shit! But of course, if you like shit then... (Ace Goodman)
Jocke: I like action film, Lethal Weapon, Die Hard and those kind of things. It should be some pace, I think. What do you like?
Mos: Good film for me, it is films that make me grow as a human being.
Jocke: Robocop! (Ace Goodman)
Mos: This Guldbagge Award I would like to dedicate Ingmar Bergman, Wim Wenders for their wholehearted support during my long journey towards the big screen. (Ace Goodman)
Wolfgang: Who is this Zingo?
Benno: He has done many, many quality films. Perhaps you have heard about "Bingo in the Pussy"?
Wolfgang: Zingo did "Bingo in the Pussy"? Very good film, much penetration.
Benno: You know me, I only work with the best. (Ace Goodman)
Newspaper Editor-in-Chief: West, keep the British accent out of your pros. Don't take advantage of the fact that your uncle owns the paper.
Peter West: As if I would. (Ace Goodman)
Dr. Menard: The boat can leave now. Tell the crew. (Ace Goodman)
Roger: That oughtta fix ya, you friggin' monsters! (Ace Goodman)
Glenn: I'm feeling better, Patricia, but I'm thirsty... for your blood! (Ace Goodman)
Roger: Hey, this Blueheart's music is great, huh?
Bo: Yeah, it's making me horny. (Ace Goodman)
Professor Holder: They have to stop him... or it'll mean the end of everything! (Ace Goodman)
Dr. Obrero: I've been anxious to experiment with a male Caucasian brain! (Ace Goodman)
Dr. Obrero: I could easily kill you now, but I'm determined to have your brain! (Ace Goodman)
Dr. Obrero: The patient's screaming disturbing me, performed removal of vocal chords. (Ace Goodman)
