(Nick, Kurt and Dale are attempting to sneak into Rex's house)
Dale: Wait. Shit. What if he's in there?
Kurt: Oh, yeah. How do we make sure he's not?
Nick: (sarcastically) I don't know. Why don't you guys ring the doorbell while you're hot?
Kurt: (taking sarcasm seriously) I love it. Smart.
Nick: No. Don't. Don't, Kurt!
(Kurt rings the doorbell, which rings 7 notes from Badfinger's "No Matter What"; Dale and Nick run and take cover)
Dale: Oh, shit! Are you kidding?!
Kurt: You know, it's pretty dark in there. I don't think anybody's here.
(rings doorbell a second time)
Nick: Don't...don't hit it again!
Kurt: You hear that?
Dale: I know that song.
Kurt: Huh? What is that?
Kurt: It's a song, right? Is it... (singing) No matter what you do...
Nick: No, no.
Dale and Kurt: (singing) I will always be with you...
Dale: Who sings that?
Kurt: Badfinger.
Dale and Kurt: (singing) Doesn't matter what you do girl...
Nick: (whispers) Quiet!
Dale and Kurt: (singing, ignoring Nick) Ooh, girl with you...
Nick: You nailed it.
Dale and Kurt: (singing loudly, still ignoring Nick) Knock on this old gray wall!
Nick: (whispering loudly) Shut the **** up!!
Dale: Wait. Shit. What if he's in there?

(after waking up out of Rex's closet, only to find him gone)
Kurt: Will you look at this **** view during the daytime? You kidding me? Unbelievable!
Nick: He seems gone. Bed's made.
Kurt: I can't believe this.
Dale: We should maybe just check (yelling) HEY! REX!
Nick: Hey.
Dale: REX! REX!
Nick: Dale!
Dale: Huh?
Nick: Did you have a plan if he responded?
Dale: I didn't think that far ahead.
Nick: Of course you didn't.
Kurt: I would have been just quieter.
Nick: You're even dumber in the mornings.

(Nick is attempting to call Bert on a dark phone that Kurt seemingly left on the bench for him to await instructions, however a cell phone rings in Kurt's pocket, he gets it out)
Dale: Hey, what's that? Who's calling you?
Kurt: I don't know. It's blocked.
Nick: (realizes Kurt has the dark phone) Oh, no.
Kurt: (answers phone) Hello.
Nick: (right behind Kurt) Hi.
Kurt: (does not know that it is Nick) Who is this?
Nick: It's me, dickless! (angrily slams phone to the ground)
Kurt: Hey, what are you doing? You're supposed to call the dark phone.
Nick: I did! You've got it in your hand. You were supposed to tape that under the bench.
Dale: Hey, what's that? Who's calling you?
Kurt: I don't know. It's blocked.

(after finding out that Kurt left Bert his own phone instead of the dark phone on the bench)
Kurt: Oh...
Dale: Oh, shit! So, what phone does he have?!
Nick: Bert has Kurt's phone, with our contact information on it.
Dale: (starts to hit Kurt) And all the pictures of us from when we used to be friends? Are you kidding me?!
Kurt: Easy, easy, easy. Knock it off! Okay, look, this is no big deal, all right? We'll just punt. We'll do it tomorrow. All right? I mean, as long as we don't call the phone, he'll never find it.
Nick: He found it.
Kurt: What? How? We are screwed. Shit!
Dale: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! I got an idea. I got an idea.
(theatrical version)
Dale: Okay, call your phone. If he's talking on it, he's not gonna look through it and see all the contacts.
Kurt: That's a great idea. Great idea. Here we go. Here we go. Okay. All right. Ahem.
(extended version)
Dale: Okay, I'm gonna call that phone. If he's talking on it, he's not gonna look through it.
Kurt: Yes! Call my phone! Call my number. Good.
Dale: All right. All right. What's your number? What's your number?
Kurt: You don't know my phone number?!
Dale: I don't know my phone number.
Kurt: Well, I don't know it. I never call myself.
Nick: I know both of your numbers. Area code 323...
Kurt: That's all I need. That's all I need.
Dale: He just has to do that. Uh, 69 and...
Kurt: I got there. I got there. Here we go. Here we go. Okay. All right. Ahem.

Nick: Guys, I'm not gonna kidnap someone based on 9 to 5.
Dean 'MF' Jones: That's because you're Jane Fonda.
Kurt: Ooh, snap.
Dale: That's right, you're the scaredy-cat one. You're always the last to man up about everything. You're dragging your feet.
(the following is seen in the extended version only)
Dale: What--why are you here if you're not gonna participate?
Nick: First of all, if anyone, I'm the smart one. I'm Lily Tomlin. But I'm not having this conversation
Kurt: Honky, please, I'm Lily **** Tomlin, if anybody is. Sitting in the big chair, giving David O. Russell shit.
Dale: Oh, yeah. Yeah, he's got the 'tude. He's got the 'tude. You're Fonda, man.
Kurt: You're Jane Fonda. That makes you Jane Fonda.
Nick: (to Dale) That makes you Dolly Parton.
Kurt: Ooh.
Dale: Great. Woman's got her own theme park. She's a national treasure.
Kurt: She has two national treasures.

Nick: Are you guys shitting me in there?
Dale: Well, I mean, his dad sold him out for, like...honestly, it was probably nothing to him.
Kurt: Pennies to him.
Dale: The guy's so rich.
Kurt: That would rock me to my core. I mean, have a little empathy, Nick. Please?
Dale: Yeah.
(the following is seen in the extended version only)
Dale: You know what's going on? You're holding a grudge right now.
Nick: Oh, am I?
Kurt: Yes, you do. You're a grudge holder. You do.
Dale: (simultaneously) Yes, you do that. You get all tight, and then you're going to get cancer doing that.
Kurt: You got to let the past be the past.
Nick: I don't want that.
Dale: Let the past be the past.
Kurt: Just let it...let it roll off you.
Nick: (simultaneously) Yeah. The past? We're not in the **** past. We're in the goddamn present. And you guys are...

Nick: What are you talking about? You're acting like you have Stockholm Syndrome.
Dale: What is that?
Kurt: Like, jet lag?
Nick: No.
Dale: Dude, do I look tired to you?
Nick: You don't, no.
Kurt: You don't look tired to me.
Dale: I'm fine.
Nick: Stockholm Syndrome's when you bond with your captors, idiots.
Kurt: Oh, okay. Well then, hold on a second. He's the hostage. So, technically, this would be reverse Stockholm Syndrome.
Nick: Yes, true.
Dale: Yeah, and we don't have that. Okay? He's just a really, really, really, really, really likable guy. I like him a lot.
Kurt: He's really likable.
Dale: He's cool. The guy's a winner.
Kurt: That's so true.
Dale: It's so nice to be around a winner for a change.
Kurt: Oh, it feels right Nick! Come on, man.
Nick: Here's what we're gonna do, we're gonna go in there. We're gonna tell him cops were never a part of this plan, and the shit ends now. Let's do it.
(theatrical version)
Nick: Come on!
(extended version)
Kurt: Okay. But you got to hear us out about festering.
Dale: I mean, it's like you can't have a conversation with the guy.
