[A shuttle passenger dashes empoverished Fingal's hopes of "doppling" into a stallion.]
I got 47 credits. What kind of a dopple do you think that buys?
An anteater... maybe.
Whoa, huge slam on anteaters out of nowhere!

[A shuttle passenger dashes empoverished Fingal's hopes of "doppling" into a stallion.]
I got 47 credits. What kind of a dopple do you think that buys?
An anteater... maybe.
Whoa, huge slam on anteaters out of nowhere!
[Fingal has been "doppled" into a baboon.]
At least I'm not an anteater.
This movie just hates anteaters!
. . .
This cost me every credit I have?
He's gonna start flinging it any minute now!
. . .
I'm as clumsy as a stupid, repulsive anteater!
[The "doppled" Fingal is looking at a giraffe.]
What happened to him? He looks drunk to me!
I'm on medication, okay?
[While stuck inside the NoviCorp computer, Fingal is told to go about his normal data processing routines.]
I can't take this anymore... I'm so bored!
[Mike and the bots all look around]
OK, which one of us said that?
I felt it, I don't...
. . .
Listen! We're nothing more than a byte in a giant computer!
[dully] I'm okay with that.
. . .
[Fingal holds up a bunch of cards and they turn into flowers.]
My coffee coupon!
...
If I'm in charge of what happens to me in here. I'm not going to go on being a zombie like all those zombies at work.
I'll be a better zombie!
[Inside Fingal's virtual world, sim-Apollonia argues with Fingal about his "romance" with a simulated co-worker.]
If this one-handed exercise is all you can think of to do with your life...
Whoa!
...you're a very little man, and I'm very disappointed in you!
Is this still the Officially Sanctioned Boring Part?
. . .
It's a good thing we don't have to like each other, isn't it? Because you're definitely not my kind of woman!
[Apollonia slaps him.]
Well, now you are, actually.
. . .
Fingal... I want to do the right thing... I'm just not sure what that is...
Well, slapping him seemed like a good start!
[In the simulated bar "The Place", Fingal talks to bar-owner Rick.]
What're you gonna do?
I don't know. But I've got to get the hell out of here. NoviCorp isn't helping! So I guess I'm going to have to push my own buttons for a change.
Ah, you've been doing enough of that, mister!
[Fingal's mainframe tampering produces a snowfall inside the simulated NoviCorp building.]
The chairman's got really bad dandruff.
This is how much pure cocaine you would need to enjoy this movie.
. . .
I'm not making this up!
I'm not cleaning it up either!
Shut up, Fat Man!
You... you anteater!
[Fingal has successfully been allowed to redistribute finance.]
Genius. Pure Genius.
...couldn't save this film.
. . .
[At the Fat Man's office, cards begin flying out of nowhere.]
I'm farting Monopoly cards!
Well, they're all getting credits where credits are due. [chuckles] Sorry.
[Apollonia informs Fingal of the brain augmentation required before doppling]
W-- Wait a minute, I changed my mind. Some other time...
Sit down, Mr. Fingal.
You need to tinkle, Fingal?
Nothing to worry about.
How 'bout some Pringles, Fingal?
Trust me.
Just gonna band-saw the top of your head off.
[as Fingal attempts to court a simulated version of Felicia]
I am working, Mr. Fingal.
Listen, Felicia, why don't we just walk out of here, go back to my place, and make love?
Whoa! I wanna work in data entry!
Is that your idea of a joke?! Do you wanna get us fired?!
Not a satisfactory reply, Felicia. [rapidly waves his hands, causing the simulation to rewind]
Oh, there's a fly in here.
[as the simulation rewinds] What's that? Kill myself? Okay, not a problem. [begins to walk away]
No no, stay.
Now then, shall we go back to my place and make love?
This is sexual harassment, and I'm gonna take it!
[Felicia smiles warmly and lets her hair down]
Whoa, look familiar, Mike? Well, probably not.
Hey...
[Felicia throws her arms around Fingal]
Oh, I thought you'd never ask, big boy.
Well, I'm actually "size doesn't matter boy."
[as the Fat Man arrives on scene]
Ah! Hitler! ... or, a guy in a car.
Mr. Fingal!
Santa!
I see I'm on time.
For what, Fat Man?
I've taken the liberty of arranging for some papers for you, uh, passport, exit visa, that sort of thing.
And I'm big-boned, by the way.
Your most recent reports were very positive, Mr. Fingal.
Isn't that just great?
It would be very wise to think of traveling, and enjoying yourself.
Is that what you're gonna do, Fingal? Enjoy yourself?
Lay off, will you Rick?
Let's just get through the movie.
I don't have to be a big man. It was crazy of me to try reprogramming the HX368.
Luckily you stopped in time.
[a plane starts nearby]
Da-dum da-dada-DIE! Da-dum da-dada-CRAP!
Come on, Fingal! The plane is leaving!
You're gonna spend the rest of your life playing it straight?
It's my only chance!
If you'd made anymore trouble for them, Mr. Fingal, they would have been forced to erase your existence here. That would have been most unfortunate.
Yeah? Well maybe I would have found my own way to get out.
[the Fat Man laughs]
Oops! Sorry, burped up a capon.
... you think he's can't do it?
I think he's a fool to risk everything for his silly games.
I guess that was what he was doing.
The hell I was!
[gasp] Mike, he said "hell!"
Your plane, Mr. Fingal. You don't want to miss it!
There's nothing more boring than playing it safe, Fingal.
[opening his car] Let me accompany you to the plane, Mr. Fingal.
Shut up, Fat Man!
You... you anteater!
Better safe than dead, Rick.
That's a matter of opinion.
Mr. Fingal, they're ready for takeoff!
[throwing the papers at the Fat Man] HERE, FAT MAN, YOU TAKE THE TRIP!
And yes, there's a meal.
MY COMPLIMENTS.
... You're a very foolish man, Mr. Fingal.
Lot of face.
From now on, whatever happens is your responsibility. Is that clear? [signals his driver to leave]
To Wendy's!
