A line from Owen Templeton (Talking about the coin he used to flip at the Super Bowl)You know what this is...its actually a commemerative coin.
Owen Templeton I AM NOT A BUS DRIVER!! I do NOT work for the bus company! All right?! I... I needed a ride to New Mexico, so I stole this uniform! See this jacket? This is not my jacket! Remember Marty, the bus driver? Huh?! This is his shirt! I stole it! And these pants, you think I'd WEAR these pants?! These aren't my pants! These are Marty's pants! I stole them! I AM NOT A BUS DRIVER!!!
Owen Templeton It's really a commemorative coin.
The first one there, keeps it all! Oh, by the way, I put little tracking devices on your key rings so I'll always know where you are and...that's it! Go.
Owen Y-You can't just pick people at random!
I can do anything I like, Owen! I'm eccentric! [Growls] Go!
Wait. So, it's like a race? [Sinclair points to him with an "Ah-ha!" expression]
A race! It's a race! I hope I win!
Uh, what are the rules?
There's only one rule. Are you ready? Here it is: There are, no rules! Go! [Nobody moves] Go!!
Merrill So, when you say "go", you mean, just go?
Uh, begin, commence, start moving, [looks at his watch] theoretically you have been racing for about forty-five seconds now, and so far Mr. Schaffer is winning because he's nearest to the door.
[Everyone continues staring at Sinclair, visibly confused. Finally, he sighs in frustration, pulls out a revolver, and fires it into the ceiling.]
Owen Hey, wait-wait-wait! Wait! This is crazy! Listen, if we're all going to go for it, why don't we go for it together? You know, split the money fifty-fifty?
Fifay-fifay?
Owen Oh, you know what I mean. Fifty-fifty; whatever!
Yes, yes, that's a good plan.
It's a race! It's a race! [Goes past everyone on the landing] I am winning! I am winning!
[After a pause, everyone runs after him]
