Dialogue

 * 13-Year-Old Sam Brenner: [first lines] Cooper, it's open!
 * 13-Year-Old Will Cooper: [surprised] It's open?!
 * 13-Year-Old Sam: Come on! [Cooper gets on his bike] It's supposed to be awesome.
 * 13-Year-Old Will: Thank you. [takes his sister's quarters]
 * Will's sister: [angrily] Hey, give me back my quarters, you hoser! MOM!


 * Sam Brenner: Hello. I am a Nerd from the Nerd Brigade, here to Nerd out on all your audio and visual needs.
 * Matty: Do you have to say that every time you show up at a house?
 * Brenner: If I wanna get paid, yes.
 * Matty: Isn't it kind of demeaning?
 * Sam: Only if someone brings that up.
 * Matty: Okay, I won't bring it up, then.
 * Sam: Thanks.


 * Sam: Mrs. Van Patten. All finished up down there. I need you to sign the work order.
 * Violet: [voice wavering] Okay.
 * Sam: [confused] Mrs. Van Patten, are you in the closet?
 * Violet: [voice wavering] Yes.
 * Sam: Not judging, but what are you doing in the closet?
 * Violet: [voice wavering] I'm mostly crying. A little drinking. Probably equally crying and drinking.
 * Sam: Something I do often also. But why in the closet?
 * Violet: [voice wavering] Because I don't want Matty to see me. [she starts crying]
 * Sam: I'm coming in the closet, Mrs. Van Patten. I'm opening the door. [he see Violet on the floor holding a Sippy Cup] [calmly, and concerned] Are you all right?
 * Violet: [voice breaking] I'm sobbing on the floor of my closet, drinking Chardonnay out of a Sippy Cup, so I guess not.
 * Sam: [apologetically] Sorry. I withdraw the question. Uh-- [he sits on the floor with Violet]
 * Violet: [sobbing] Oh, God!
 * Sam: [smiling comfortingly] Wanna talk about it?
 * Violet: No. Yes! Yes. [sobbing on Sam Brenner's shoulder] Oh, God!


 * Violet: [addressing Sam Brenner] Why are you following me?
 * Sam: Oh, God.
 * Violet: I can't believe they even let you in here.
 * Sam: Right.
 * Jennifer: Colonel Van Patten, you can go right into the Situation Room.
 * Violet: Yeah. See, they need me in the Situation Room, so have fun doing whatever you're doing.
 * Sam: Mmm.
 * Jennifer: Mr. Brenner, the president is waiting for you in the Oval Office.
 * Sam : [falsetto voice, mockingly] Somebody's more important. [moonwalks and addresses a member of the presidential detail while looking at Violet] [normal voice] Freddy, can you keep the riffraff outta here? [he moonwalks into the Oval Office] [to Cooper] Yo, wassup?
 * Will Cooper: Oh, come on, you couldn't have at least changed?
 * Sam Brenner: You told me to rush right over. What's going on, man? Why's it so crazy out there?
 * Will Cooper: Our Air Force Base in Guam was attacked.
 * Sam Brenner: By who?
 * Will Cooper: I'm not sure. That's what I wanted to ask you. Come here. Check this out.
 * Sam Brenner: Me?
 * Will Cooper: Yes, you. Come here. Listen to this. [he hits the space button on the keyboard, and deep whirring is heard.] Does that sound familiar to you?
 * Sam Brenner: Yeah. Where do I know that from? Can you freeze it?
 * Will Cooper: Yeah, hold on. [he pauses the video.]
 * Sam Brenner: Go in tighter. [Cooper does so.] That can't be real.
 * Will Cooper: Okay, so, you're seeing the same thing I'm seeing.
 * Sam Brenner: What kind of mushrooms did that guy put on our burgers?
 * Jennifer: [enters the Oval Office] They're ready for you, Mr. President.
 * Will Cooper: Great. Now I gotta explain this to the National Security Council. Listen, do me a favor, Sam. Watch that again, okay? And just see if there's anything you can find to help us out.
 * Sam Brenner: Yeah. Can I sit in your chair?
 * Will Cooper: No, you can't, and everything's recorded.
 * Sam Brenner: Okay, I won't. I won't. I won't. [he waves at the security camera, and sits in the chair anyway.] I'm sittin' in the chair. Gimme a break.


 * Violet: Gentlemen, I'll be sending Pac-Man's current coordinates to each of your car's GPSes. Let's locate and eliminate.
 * Will Cooper: Come on, guys.
 * [Pac-Man chases man on his bicycle. Ludlow is shocked.]
 * Sam Brenner: [confused] Pac-Man's a bad guy?
 * [Iwatani sees Pac-Man eat man's bike.]
 * Professor Iwatani: Pac-Man is not bad! I created him to bring joy to all the people of the world! They have brainwashed him! Deep down, he's kind, gentle. Someone you can tell your troubles to or grab a hamburger with.
 * [Pac-Man stops in front of the Ghost Cars.]
 * Professor Iwatani: You'll see.
 * [Iwatani exits his Ghost Car.]
 * Violet: Professor Iwatani, get back in the car!
 * Sam Brenner: Professor Iwatani, what are you doing?!
 * Professor Iwatani: I will talk to him. He's my son!
 * Sam Brenner: No, that's a bad idea.
 * [Iwatani walks up to Pac-Man.]
 * Professor Iwatani: [to Pac-Man] Hello, my sweet, little boy. Look how big you've grown. I'm so proud of you.
 * Ludlow Lamonsoff: It's so sweet. He's so sweet.
 * Professor Iwatani: But all these destructive things you're doing, it's wrong. I'm your father. I know, you're a good boy.
 * [Iwatani reaches out. Ludlow nods as if saying, "Go on." Suddenly, Pac-Man bites Iwatani's hand into pixels, and Iwatani screams in pain.]
 * Ludlow Lamonsoff: NOOOOO!!!!
 * Professor Iwatani: SOMEBODY KILL THIS STUPID BITCH!!!!
 * Sam Brenner: [shocked and horrified] That was some twisted Pinocchio-Geppetto stuff right there!
 * [Pac-Man runs away]
 * Eddie Plant: All right, losers! It's 3 on 1. Let's hit it!
 * [the Arcaders start chasing Pac-Man. During the chase, Pac-Man eats a fire truck.]
 * Sam Brenner: Pac-Man's faster than I remember!
 * Eddie Plant: Pac-Man's always been faster than the ghosts. We're gonna have to out-maneuver his ass. [he and the Arcaders sharply turn around a car.] Wonderfro, you and Silver Medal break off. [The Arcaders go in different directions.] I'll stay with Big Yellow.
 * Violet: [sees Eddie's car going another way very quickly.] Whoa! Eddie, how did you do that so fast?
 * Eddie Plant: 'Cause I'm the champ, Lieutenant Long Legs.
 * ''[Pac-Man eats an ambulance, but runs into Ludlow Lamonsoff.]
 * Ludlow Lamonsoff: Nope!
 * [Pac-Man runs into Sam Brenner.]
 * Sam Brenner: What's up?
 * [Pac-Man tries to run away, but sees Eddie Plant about to kill him.]
 * Eddie Plant: OH, YEAH!
 * [Eddie kills Pac-Man]
 * Will Cooper: Good one, Eddie.
 * Eddie Plant: Whew.
 * Sam Brenner: [on radio] One down!
 * Violet: Two to go! [the Arcaders go another way.] All right, Pac-Man Number Two just regenerated four streets away headed North Bound. Turn east at the next intersection. Brenner, go straight.
 * Sam Brenner: Got it.
 * Violet: Ludlow, go left. [Ludlow does so] Eddie, at the next intersection, turn left.
 * Ludlow Lamonsoff: We got him! He's got nowhere to go!
 * [Pac-Man eats a Power Pellet, thus turning all the Ghost Cars dark blue.]
 * Sam Brenner: [shocked] Oh, God. No!
 * Violet: "Oh, God. No!" what?
 * Ludlow Lamonsoff: He ate the Power Pellet! Pac-Man's got 10 seconds where he can eat us! [Pac-Man starts chasing Ludlow] Why me?! [Ludlow runs away] Oh, God, don't eat me, don't eat me, don't eat me. Please, please don't eat me. [Pac-Man starts eating Ludlow's Ghost Car, and he screams in terror] GUYS! HELP! I'M GONNA DIE A VIRGIN! [Ludlow barely escapes the Ghost Car before it gets eaten by Pac-Man. Then Pac-Man turns around and continues chasing Ludlow.] Why are you doing this to me? [Ludlow runs for his life.] YOU'VE BEEN BRAINWASHED! YOU'RE A GOOD BOY!
 * Will Cooper: LUDLOW, RUN! PUMP YOUR LEGS! GO, BABY!
 * [Ludlow continues running from Pac-Man. Suddenly, Eddie appears and kills Pac-Man again.]
 * Will Cooper: [as the people in the office cheer] ATTABOY, EDDIE!
 * Eddie Plant: [chuckles] You just got fire-blasted, sucka!
 * Ludlow Lamonsoff: [makes finger guns at Eddie] [weakly] Uh-huh. [faints from fear]
 * Eddie Plant: [sighs] What?
 * Violet: How the Hell did he get over there so fast?
 * Sam Brenner: [to Eddie] Way to go, champ!
 * Eddie Plant: Aren't you glad you sprung me, Second Place?
 * Sam Brenner: [sarcastically] Yeah. Thrilled. [normally] One more to go and it's Happy Hour.
 * ''[Pac-Man Number Three regenerates where Pac-Man Number Two died, and Sam and Eddie chase Pac-Man leaving Ludlow laying in the street.]
 * Ludlow Lamonsoff: So I, I guess they're just leaving me here.
 * [Pac-Man runs for his life as Sam and Eddie chase him.]
 * Eddie Plant: Now it's time for the hat trick.
 * [Eddie accelerates but Pac-Man turns right causing Eddie to fly off of the road, falling into the East River.]
 * Sam Brenner: Wow!
 * Violet: Brenner, it's on you. There are still 3 other Power Pellets out there, so stay alert.
 * Sam Brenner: I got this. If I don't, the world ends. Can't let that happen.
 * Will Cooper: Come on, Brenner. Come on.
 * [Sam continues chasing Pac-Man]
 * Violet: Brenner, he's leading you directly towards one of the Power Pellets. Get out of there.
 * [Pac-Man eats Power Pellet, turning Sam Brenner's Ghost Car dark blue, and starts chasing Sam Brenner]
 * Sam Brenner: [with a game face] 1.
 * Violet: [confused] What the Hell is he doing?
 * Sam Brenner: [backs up] 2.
 * Violet: [angrily] Damn it, Brenner, I have a son who I'd like to see grow up!
 * Sam Brenner: 3. You'll see your boy grow up. [Pac-Man chases him into parking garage] 4.
 * Violet: [alarmed] Brenner, get out; He's going to eat you!
 * Sam Brenner: [getting chased through the parking garage.] 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. [closes his eyes tight. The Ghost Car and Pac-Man fly through the air in slow motion, and Pac-Man opens his mouth, about to eat Sam Brenner.] ...10. [barely kills Pac-Man Number Three. At normal speed, he lands on another part of the parking garage, and he breathes heavily, as Pac-Man powers down.]
 * Will Cooper: [as everyone cheers wildly] OH! OH! YOU DID IT! BRENNER! THAT'S THE ONE, BABY! [He and his wife hug. Two Admiral's shake hands. Violet sees Sam Brenner exit his Ghost Car and chuckles in disbelief as Sam Brenner emerges from the parking garage]
 * Man in Crowd: He's over here!
 * [Sam Brenner is greeted with cheers and applause. Eddie arrives on a fire truck, drenched, and gives the crowd a "Rock on!" hand gesture.]
 * Woman in Crowd: Fire Blaster, I love you!
 * [Ludlow appears holding a blanket over something.]
 * Ludlow Lamonsoff: Hey, guys! Sorry, coming through. I'm one of tonight's heroes, sorry. [to Sam and Eddie] Hey! [whispers] Hey. Check it out. I think I might have found our next trophy.
 * [uncovers blanket revealing Q*Bert mumbling]
 * Sam Brenner: [intrigued] It's Q*Bert.
 * Ludlow Lamonsoff: [excitedly] Yeah, I know! I know.
 * Eddie Plant: Can I kill it?
 * Sam Brenner: No! Let's get to know him a little bit. Ask him some questions. And then we'll kill him.
 * Q*Bert: Huh?
 * Sam Brenner: I'm joking. Just put the blanket on him.
 * Q*Bert: Bye.


 * Jim Porter: [turns off TV, and tosses remote] I don't know what would be worse. Them failing, or them actually pulling this off.
 * Mrs. Porter: [offscreen] What was that, Jim?
 * Jim Porter: Can you SHUT UP FOR FIVE SECONDS?!


 * Sam Brenner: [watching Matty play "The Last of Us" on the PlayStation 3] There's no rhyme or reason to this game. Where are the patterns? He just attacks out of left field.
 * Matty: Patterns? Is that why you were so good with Pac-Man and Centipede? You memorized the patterns?
 * Sam Brenner: Yeah. Only way to beat these things. Count the bullets, calculate the speed, crunch the numbers.
 * Matty: Where's the fun in that?
 * Sam Brenner: Oh, boy. Why? What do you do?
 * Matty: You gotta pretend you're the guy and you don't wanna die.
 * Sam Brenner: Yeah, that sounds cool, but it's not gonna work every time.
 * Matty: That's why you have your reset button.
 * Sam Brenner: Yeah, we didn't have those growin' up. [about "The Last of Us"] Most violent game I've ever seen. Eh-eh, I don't think it's healthy for ya.
 * Matty: [thinking Sam Brenner is talking to him] It's fine, I can handle it.
 * Sam Brenner: [to Matty; clarifying] No, I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to homeboy.
 * Q*Bert: [shaking in fear] So much blood!
 * Sam Brenner: Yeah. Hey, you know what'll cheer ya up? A cheese ball.
 * Q*Bert: Yep.
 * Sam Brenner: Huh? Come on, suck one up. [Q*Bert sucks up a cheese ball.] Take a handful. [throws a handful of cheese balls in the opposite direction, and Q*Bert sucks them in.] That was smooth. [chuckles] That was very smooth! [to Matty] You know, we should get him some exercise, maybe throw him on the trampoline for a little bit?
 * Q*Bert: [excitedly] Trampoline! Trampoline! Trampoline!
 * Matty: Okay. How about me and him do that while you go ask my mom to the ball tomorrow night?
 * Sam Brenner: Unfortunately, I'm not attracted to your mother.
 * Q*Bert: [as his signature swear bubble appears] Bullcrap!
 * Sam Brenner: [to Q*Bert] You're right, I am. Okay. Here, finish these. [Q*Bert finishes cheese ball container] Your gettin' chubby. [Q*Bert chuckles]


 * Will Cooper: [after saving Sam, Violet and Ludlow from being pixelated by Frogger, and takes off Chewbacca mask.] Nobody's better at the Crane Game than me!
 * Sam Brenner: Chewie?! What's with the disguise, buddy?
 * Will Cooper: They tried to take me to some underground bunker, so I went rogue. [reveals his Arcader uniform]


 * Eddie Plant: [while watching Ludlow and Lady Lisa kissing] And I couldn't even get a handshake from Serena Williams.


 * Sam Brenner: Donkey Kong.
 * Will Cooper: The one game you suck at.
 * Sam Brenner: Yeah.


 * Sam Brenner: [before throwing the hammer at Donkey Kong] I've been waiting to do this since 1982.


 * [last lines]
 * Ludlow Lamonsoff: [offscreen] Hey, kids! Dad is home!
 * [The camera moves to a crib filled with Q*berts]
