  Stephens : Did you have any luck with the bomb?

  Jack : Yeah, it didn't go off.

• Stephens : [Dismayed]  We're at the airport.

  Ortiz : Yeah, so?

  Stephens : I already seen the airport.

• Helen : Are they going to help us?

  Stephens : Sure they are, they're the police. Hey, your taxes are paying their salaries. We die, they gotta take a pay cut.

• Stephens : First time in LA.

  Annie : Oh no, I live here.

  Stephens : No, mine. Oh that's just funny, you heard me wrong. Nah, I'm sight-seeing.

  Annie : Oh, really?

  Stephens : Yeah. I hate to use the word 'tourist,' but it's not like I can hide it...

  Annie : Not really.

  Stephens : [sigh]  Did you know it took me three hours to get here from the airport? I got so lost. LA's one big place, but I guess you don't notice, seeing as you live here. I'm such a yokel. There, I said it!

  Annie : Oh jeez. You know what? I got gum on my seat, GUM!

• Stephens : It's okay. If you need to, you go right ahead and vomit.
