Favorite quotes:
Derek 'Stormy' Waters: Okay, okay. So, say I put my brain in a robot body and there's a war. Robots versus humans. What side am I on?
Debbie DuPree: Humans! You have a human brain.
Sparks: But... the humans discriminate against you. You can't even vote!
Marco: We'd better not have to live on a reservation. That would really chap my caboose.
Captain Murphy: Yeah, but... nobody knows you're a robot. You look the same.
Debbie DuPree: Uh, uh. Dogs know. That's how the humans hunt you.
Derek 'Stormy' Waters: They're gonna' hunt me? For sport?
Marco: That's why we have to CRUSH mankind! So you might as well get on board for the big win, Stormy.

[the crew discusses what it will be like when they all become robots]
Marco: I can chew nails and shoot them out as bullets right?
Sparks: Nails, chains, you won't have titanium teeth for nothing.
Captain Murphy: Nails are like candy to robots, and we'll eat tires instead of licorice.
Debbie DuPree: [laughs] No we won't.
Captain Murphy: Maybe YOU won't!
...
Hesh: Have fun on the robot reservation, suckers! We're not going to honor those bogus treaties!
Sparks: He's right. They will screw us.

Dwight: Blood alone moves the wheels of history! Have you ever asked yourselves in an hour of meditation, which everyone finds during the day, how long we have been striving for greatness? Not only the years we’ve been at war … the war of work. But from the moment, as a child, and we realized that the world could be conquered. It has been a lifetime struggle, a never-ending fight, I say to you. And you will understand that it is a privilege to fight! We are warriors! Salesmen of Northeastern Pennsylvania, I ask you, once more rise and be worthy of this historical hour! (Maniacal laughter) Yes! Yes!
Later…
No revolution is worth anything unless it can defend itself! Some people will tell you “salesman†is a bad word. They’ll conjure up images of used car dealers and door-to-door charlatans. This is our duty to change their perception. I say, salesmen … and women … of the world, unite! We must never acquiesce, for it is together, together, that we prevail! We must never cede control of the motherland for it is…
Audience: Together that we prevail!

Marty: Here are some slogans we have come up with: Chicago to Jamaica, "Jack it to Paradise".
Sam: (snicker)
Marty: Uhm... we'll take out print ads in Parenting Magazine, "Leave the kids with Grandma and Jack it alone".
Sam: (snicker)
We've even got a three way tie in with Caesar's Palace and Bose: "Jack it to Celine Dion with our new headphones".
Sam: (Laugh out loud)
