Lou: If I wanted to kill myself, I'd fucking kill myself. I'd be awesome at it. A shotgun to the dick.

Lou: Why don't you shut your slut mouth, and mind your own fucking business?

Jacob: Yes exactly. You step on the bug and the fucking internet is never invented.

Lou: Well, let's stick it up our asses!

Jacob: This is scientifically possible!
Nick: Tell us how it's scientifically possible, Professor Hawking.
Jacob: I will, 'cause I write Stargate fan fiction; this is my bread and butter, man!

Jacob: Do I really gotta be the asshole who says we got in this thing and went back in time?

Jacob: I've dated a lot of girls, hot ones.
Lou: You've dated a lot of guys, gay ones.

Trivia: When the foursome ski down the mountain and are looking around at the oddly dressed people, someone behind John Cusack says, "Hey Lane, you owe me two dollars".

Question: Considering that there are many different theories about how time travel works, such as the grandfather paradox, temporal paradox, etc., why did Adam assume that the butterfly effect was the primary rule of time traveling?

Answer: It's just the rule they used for the movie; not a lot of thought was put into the time-traveling rules with the obvious inconsistencies the movie has throughout regarding it, especially in the ending.
