• Rachel Jansen : [on the phone]  Peter.

  Peter Bretter : [on the phone]  Sarah?

  Rachel Jansen : No, Rachel Jansen from the front desk. What's going on up there? We're getting calls about a woman crying hysterically.

  Peter Bretter : Yeah, y'know, I hear it too, it sounds like she's having a tough time. I think it's coming from the floor above me.

  Rachel Jansen : You're on the top floor.

  Peter Bretter : [apologizing]  I'll try to keep it down.

• Aldous Snow : Awful bloody film. I say, it's just a ridiculous premise. What would happen if your mobile phone killed you? Why would a mobile phone kill anyone? Doesn't make sense. How can a mobile phone have an agenda and kill people...

  Peter Bretter : I told her that when she read the script

  Aldous Snow : Yeah, you were the voice of reason, mate.

  Peter Bretter : I tried to be, but she didn't listen.

  Aldous Snow : Going around killing people. A mobile phone, like doing murders.

  Peter Bretter : Why couldn't you just take the battery out of the phone?

  Aldous Snow : Right. That's it. The battle's over.

  Peter Bretter : Yeah, we've won.

  Aldous Snow : I hated it.

  Sarah Marshall : Well, it's not for everyone, but it...

  Peter Bretter : No, it's ridiculous. Here's my favorite scene. Hello?

  [Peter feigns death] 

  Aldous Snow : Right. I could never happen.

  Sarah Marshall : It's a metaphor for addiction to technology.

  Rachel Jansen : For society, how we're reliant on technology. I get it. I'm with you.

  Aldous Snow : It's a metaphor for a crap movie.

• Peter Bretter : [singing]  Everybody hates you. Everybody wishes that you were dead. Peter you suck. Peter you suck. Peter your music is fucking terrible. Peter you suck, Peter you suck. You don't do anything of value. Peter you suck. Go write some music. But instead you sit and write these bullshit songs. It's so self-loathing. Go see a psychiatrist. I hate the psychiatrist. Go see one anyway.

• Surfing Instructor : If you get bitten by a shark, you're not just gonna give up surfing, are you?

  Peter Bretter : Yeah, probably.

• Surfing Instructor : I once saw him beat a guy up with a starfish!

  Peter Bretter : That's ridiculous.

  Surfing Instructor : That guy was me.

• Kemo : [after Peter kills the luau pig]  You can stop crying now. He's dead already.

  Peter Bretter : I'm not crying. *You* should stop crying.

  Kemo : I don't cry. I'm not a baby.

  Peter Bretter : Really? Because you look like a gigantic baby. I'm sorry, I didn't mean that at all.

• Aldous Snow : Actually, Peter, I wanted to tell you, I was listening to Sarah's iPod the other day, and amidst the interminable dross that's on that thing, I found one track that I quite liked. So I checked what it was, and it was actually one of yours, and it kind of reminded me of a dark, gothic Neil Diamond. It's great.

  Peter Bretter : That's, like, exactly what I'm going for.

  Aldous Snow : Right, yeah.

  Peter Bretter : [clearly disappointed]  Fuck you're cool! It's so hard to say, because, like, I hate you in so many ways.

• Sarah Marshall : [Peter can't perform in bed]  What's wrong with you?

  Peter Bretter : Nothing is *wrong* with me.

  Sarah Marshall : Okay...

  Peter Bretter : Just something doesn't feel right.

  Sarah Marshall : Okay, well did you, you know what? Did you drink today? Because sometimes when you drink...

  Peter Bretter : Excuse me. No, I haven't had anything to drink today. Maybe the problem is that you broke my heart into a million pieces and so my cock doesn't want to be around you anymore! Okay? EVER! Because you know what I just realized? You're the goddamn devil!

• Brian : Look. Liz and I, we think the world of Sarah. We think she's great. But, and I'm just being honest here, every time she would come over to our house, she always acted, you know, like a... like a little bitch. Okay, okay, okay, pump the brakes.

  Peter Bretter : Dating Sarah is not like dating Liz, okay? Sarah is better than Liz!

  Brian : You really want to have this conversation? Do you really want to have this conversation?

  Peter Bretter : Yes.

  Brian : [screaming]  She is the mother of my unborn child!

  Peter Bretter : [meekly]  Sorry.

  Brian : You're my step-brother! We're not even blood! I have no qualms with sticking you! I will equalize you!

  Peter Bretter : Sorry.

  Brian : You dick!

• Brian : You gotta get your shit together, man.

  Peter Bretter : I'm trying to. It's so hard here. Brian, everywhere I look I'm reminded of her, okay? Like, she got me this, okay because I would always leave my cereal boxes open, and the cereal would get stale, and so one day I came home, and she had this waiting for me, because it keeps my cereal fresh. And now I have the freshest cereal.

• Peter Bretter : I'm having a good time with Rachel and I want to see that through.

  Aldous Snow : Maybe you can have Rachel and Sarah,they got along alright at dinner.

  Peter Bretter : I'm not that kind of guy and even if I was I don't think I have the sexual competency to pull that off.

  Aldous Snow : Yeah its a gift.

• Brian : You don't need to put your P in a V right now.

• Peter Bretter : Is she coming this way?

  Rachel Jansen : Yep.

  Peter Bretter : I wish I wasn't wearing this fucking shirt.

• Peter Bretter : [He and Rachel are having sex as loudly as possible to annoy Sarah]  She's having an orgasm!

• Peter Bretter : I can see why Sarah likes you.

  Aldous Snow : No accounting for taste, I suppose, in her case, anyway.

  Peter Bretter : Well, she was with me for five years, so there you go.

  Aldous Snow : Yeah, you got four on me then, mate.

  Peter Bretter : You slept with Sarah a year ago?

  Aldous Snow : I thought you knew! Peter, please, don't take it seriously.

  Peter Bretter : What the fuck, man! You...

  Aldous Snow : Don't get offended by that.

  Peter Bretter : You can't be so casual about this! This isn't Europe, okay? There are rules here!

• Sarah Marshall : What are you doing here?

  Peter Bretter : Came here to murder you

  Peter Bretter : [laughs] 

• Kemo : Sarah Marshall.

  Peter Bretter : Yes. How did you know I was dating Sarah Marshall?

  Kemo : Dwayne told me. Chuck told me. Even Rachel told me. I heard about it from everybody. You gotta stop talking about it. It's like "the Sopranos." It's *over*. Find a new show.

• Peter Bretter : [to the married couple]  Oh, wedding in Hawaii! Real original!

• Rachel Jansen : [about his rock opera]  Why Dracula?

  Peter Bretter : Because he's a man like anyone else. He just wants to be loved. And every time he gets close to a human woman, he ends up smothering and killing her, which is a feeling I am familiar with.
