• Lyle : [seeing the name "Becky" on the cable-girl's uniform; specifically on her left breast]  Becky, huh? Nice name. I wonder what she calls the other one...

  Handsome Rob : [sarcastically, jokingly]  And it's such a mystery why you don't have a girlfriend, Lyle.

• [Lyle wants to be called "The Napster"] 

  Handsome Rob : Come on, Charlie. They were at the same college at the same time.

  Charlie Croker : Why are you encouraging this?

• Charlie Croker : Napster, Gridlock every route except the one we chose. Force that truck to go exactly where we want it to go.

  Handsome Rob : Where do we want it to go? We can't have a shoot up without guns. We'd lose.

  Charlie Croker : We do it like The Italian Job.

• [timing the getaway to Union Station] 

  Handsome Rob : It's either bad traffic, peak traffic, slit-your-wrist traffic... you know, five people died from smoking in between traffic lights today.

  Left Ear : You know, they do have the Metrorail, Rob, you could always use that.

  Handsome Rob : Yeah, that'd be ideal for carrying a ton of gold now, wouldn't it, genius?

  Charlie Croker : What's your guesstimate?

  Handsome Rob : The last twenty times I done this journey, you've got an average of thirty two minutes and a top time of fifty, but if we had green lights all the way, we could do it in fourteen minutes.

  Stella : [poking fun]  What? Couldn't get through traffic?

• Handsome Rob : [after learning the value of the gold they've stolen]  Twenty-seven million...

  Left Ear : Say it again, man.

  Left Ear : Again!

  Handsome Rob : *Twenty-seven million!*

• Lyle : [referring to Sean Parker]  And then he's just the media darling... He's on the cover of all the magazines, I should of been on the cover of Wired Magazine. You know what he said? He said he named it "Napster" because it was his nickname because of the nappy hair under the hat. But he, it's because I was NAPPING when he STOLE it from me! He didn't even graduate!

  Handsome Rob : I think it's time to move on, don't you? They shut him down, I wish they would do the same to you.

• Lyle : [about Stella getting into Steve's house and finding the location of the safe by impersonating a Netcom employee]  You think Stella can pull it off?

  Handsome Rob : I have my doubts... but there's no talking to Charlie

  Lyle : [in an accent]  What, you theenk he's meexing beesness with plezore?

  Handsome Rob : He should know better. Only "I'm" allowed to do that.

  Handsome Rob : Unbelievable!

• Lyle : [tell the other what he's planning to do with his share of the gold]  I'm getting a NAD T770 digital decoder with 70-watt amps and Burr-Brown DACs.

  Left Ear : [confused]  Yeah...

  Lyle : It's a big stereo. Speakers so loud, they blow women's clothes off!

  Handsome Rob : Now you're talking!

• Left Ear : [reading from a guide book]  "Learn the language of poetry, art, romance, sex..."

  Handsome Rob : Unlike you, my friend, I don't need a guide book. Can we go?

• [Lyle isn't answering Charlie's calls] 

  Handsome Rob : He only answers to "The Napster" now, Charlie

  Charlie Croker : Oh, no. I am not calling you The Napster.

  Lyle : Why not? You call him Left Ear.

  Left Ear : Well, I am.

  Lyle : And him Handsome Rob.

  Charlie Croker , Lyle , Left Ear , Handsome Rob , Steve : Yeah!

• Left Ear : What are you getting, Rob?

  Handsome Rob : I don't know, there's a lot of things you can buy with a lot of money. You know, I'm just thinking about naked girls in leather seats.

  Left Ear : Obviously. See?

  Handsome Rob : Suppose I get the Aston Martin Vanquish? There's not a lot a girl won't do on the passenger seat of one of those things.

• Handsome Rob : Don't be cocky, young lady.

• Lyle : You think Stella can pull it off?

  Handsome Rob : I have my doubts. There's no talking to Charlie, though.

  Lyle : You think he's - mixing business with pleasure?
