• [Bowfinger shows Stricter the footage of Kit exposing himself to the Laker Girls] 

  Terry Stricter : You realize there's not a court in the country that wouldn't consider this blackmail.

  Robert K. Bowfinger : You know what? I don't know anything about blackmail... 'cause I'm just a guy, a guy with a great film in the can. All I really need is a shot of Kit saying, "Gotcha, suckas" and a couple of close-ups. Or we've to tag our film with a shot of Kit wagging his thing at the Laker Girls. Which is a great ending. I mean, who wouldn't wanna see that? Although technically, it's not such a good ending for Kit... because it could sort of stop his money flow... and possibly make that family film he's about to do, just pff-ff!

  Terry Stricter : We'll have to think about it.

  [beat] 

  Terry Stricter : I mean, we'll have to think about it... for Kit.

  [Bowfinger muses, acts like he's checking his watch] 

  Robert K. Bowfinger : Now that you and your colleagues here at Mindfu-- head have had a chance to think, what do you say?

• Terry Stricter, MindHead Honcho : Happy premise #1.

  Kit : Happy premise #1: There are no aliens.

  Terry Stricter, MindHead Honcho : Happy premise #2.

  Kit : Happy premise #2: There is no giant foot trying to squash me.

  Terry Stricter, MindHead Honcho : Happy premise #3.

  Kit : Happy premise #3: Even though I feel like I might ignite, I probably won't.

• Terry Stricter, MindHead Honcho : And what is it that we don't do?

  Kit : Oh, man!

  Terry Stricter, MindHead Honcho : What is it?

  Kit : Look, I have to show it to the Laker Girls.

  Terry Stricter, MindHead Honcho : You cannot show it to the Laker Girls. I know you want to show it to the Laker Girls but you can never show it to the Laker Girls. Keep Mr Weenie in the pants. Always in the pants.

• Terry Stricter : Kit, do you think you can keep it together?

  Kit Ramsey : Yes, I can keep it together. I'm keepin' it together. I'm K-I-T, Kit. Keep it together. I'm keepin' it together, right now! keepittogetherkeepittogetherkeepittogether. Keepittogher. I'm keepin' it together. Don't I look together?

• Kit Ramsey : I'm telling you, strange people are coming up to me on the street and they speakin' in Jupitarian or Venutian or somethin'.

  Terry Stricter : Okay, now. Strangers come up to you and you don't understand what they're saying.

  Kit Ramsey : What is that?

  Terry Stricter : Maybe they're fans? Crazy fans?

  Kit Ramsey : They and they talk to me. Only they speak to me in some secret, white language that I can't decode! It's horrifying!

• Terry Stricter : What did this alien want from you?

  Kit Ramsey : She wants to inhale my gonads!

  Terry Stricter : Say again?

  Kit Ramsey : My gonads! My gonads! What they do is they come down to shake your hands. The aliens pretend to be shaking your hands. But, they not! They inhale your gonads and take them back to they're world for special research!

  Terry Stricter : Kit, maybe you should stay with us for a few days... in our special celebrity relaxing quarters.

  Kit Ramsey : [nervously smiling]  You think I need that?

  Terry Stricter : I do.

  Kit Ramsey : [to one of his entourage]  Hey, go get my checkbook! Keep it together.
