Also, my favorite quotes from this movie include:

Jack: Are you gonna propose? Because if you're not, quit staring at me.

Jimmy Serrano: Sidney, relax. Sit down. Have a glass of milk. Do some f**** thing.

Joey: Tony, he ain't mad at me is he?

Agent Mosley: I'm special agent Mosley.
Airline Pilot: Mosley? Are all of you guys named Mosley?

Jonathan Mardukis: I can't fly. I suffer from aviaphobia.
Jack Walsh: What does that mean?
Jonathan Mardukis: It means I can't fly. I also suffer from acrophobia and claustophobia.
Jack Walsh: Well if you don't cooperate, you are going to suffer from fistophobia.

Agent Mosley: What should be a paramount importance to you is not the phone call. It's the fact you are going to spend the next 10 years in jail for impersonating a federal agent.
Jack Walsh: 10 years?
Agent Mosley: Yes, for impersonating a federal agent.
Jack Walsh: 10 years? How come no one is after you?

Eddie Moscone: Jack, stop f**** around!!! Where are you?
Jack Walsh: I'm in Boise, Idaho. No, I'm in Anchorage, Alaska. No, no, no. I'm in Casper, Wyoming. I am in the lobby of a Howard Johnson's. I'm wearing a pink carnation.
Eddie Moscone: What the f*** are you talking about?
Jack Walsh: I'm not talking to you. I'm talking to the other guys.
Eddie Moscone: What other guys?

Jack Walsh (repeated line): MARVIN, MARVIN, LOOK OUT!!!!

Jonathan Mardukis: Yahay everybody, yahay.
Jack Walsh: What's that?
Jonathan Mardukis: It means hello. I can say hello in a lot of different languages. Maybe not yours.
