Movie Quote Quiz

Jason: I don't understand why you can't find the bronze, 'cause, you know, you find the bronze, you're gonna find her. I'm convinced of it. I think that he stuffed her body inside it, he sanded it, he painted it, and shipped it out right under our noses.
Charlie: Jimmy Hoffa in the Meadowlands.
Jason: Probably where he got the idea.
Charlie: Jimmy Hoffa was never found, let me remind you.

Claudia: What's that?
Jason: What's it look like?
Claudia: Looks like a personal surveillance device. Bird watching?
Jason: Wildlife, definitely.
Claudia: Isn't this illegal?
Jason: Probably.

Claudia: Listen, uh, you were right.
Jason: I was?
Claudia: Mm-hmm. There is definitely a new girl in residence over there, and the old one is not coming back.
Jason: What convinced you?
Claudia: Ilene's perfume and her jewelry have been put away and replaced by some other woman's, and it's not the same stuff. Not at all.
Jason: Any sign of another name?
Claudia: No. Whoever she is, she's still going by the name Ilene Thorpe, using her ID, her checkbook, everything.

Antonio: What you doing here sitting in the dark?
Jason: Spying on my neighbors. I think she's just discovered that her husband's go an online girlfriend. Now she's really reading him the riot act.
Antonio: Serious melodrama.
Jason: I'm telling you.
Antonio: I'm gonna have to try and fix you up one of those personal surveillance devices. Get you that all-important bird's-eye view.
Jason: Would that make me a bona fide, no-two-ways-about-it peeping tom?
Antonio: Definitely.
Jason: Go for it.

Claudia: I don't know, Jason. Maybe he's right. I mean, maybe we're just letting our imaginations run wild with this thing.
Jason: Do you think I'm crazy?
Claudia: Not crazy. Just... imaginative.
Jason: He killed her. I know it.

Antonio: Alison's downstairs. She'll be on duty all night. She got a monitor. You need anything, you just click.
Jason: OK.
Antonio: Got my phone number and my beeper number hot-wired into your computer. Alison call me, I'll be here before you can say Rastafarian rehabilitation.
Jason: You know what? I think you're overqualified for this job.
Antonio: I think so, too.

Jason: I guess he's still in the slammer.
Claudia: In the slammer?
Jason: Yeah, the sculptor across the way beat up his wife last night.
Claudia: You're kidding.
Antonio: Jason sicced the cops on him.
Claudia: Oh, so this isn't just cheap thrills. It's in the public interest.
Jason: Call me citizen voyeur.
Claudia: So, if he gonna come after you?
Jason: No, I don't think so. He doesn't know I called the cops, and I didn't give my name to 911.

Charlie: Do you remember anything about what happened?
Jason: Well, I remember leaving my office Friday afternoon. I was driving up to the country to have dinner with a client. After that, I'm a total blank until I woke up in ICU.
Charlie: So, you're missing a whole week.
Jason: If you come across it, I'd like to have it back again.

Other mistake: Christopher Reeve's nurse has just installed the camera, and they are showing it to Daryl Hannah. During a close-up of Jason Kemp's camera displayed by a monitor, she notices that the woman victim of domestic abuse is wearing too much make-up for that time of the morning, no doubt to hide the results of the beating she took. Jason does not move the camera at that point, but a minute later he (it actually looks like she is the one doing it, but there's an engine buzz so it should be Jason operating it, not her turning it by hand) rotates it to the right. The visual in the monitor is unchanged from earlier even if the camera moved. (00:33:30 - 00:34:30)
