- Mom Jittlov: You got a job today? Mike: Yeah, almost; I sold my car. Mom Jittlov: [aghast] Your wonderful car? Mike: Mmm-hmm. Sold my property to pay property taxes.
-
Dora Belair: Look, you work with me, I expect a pro. You don't even shake hands; you oughta see a shrink! Mike: Miss Belair, if you feel compelled to grab part of my body and shake it before you can even be friendly, you've got far worse problems than you think I have.

Steve: Lights, camera, and anguish.

[Cindy recognizes Mike when they are both in a crowded elevator] Cindy Lite: I beat you here! I'm your cheerleader, remember? Mike 'The Wizard' Jittlov: What? Cindy Lite: This morning, in the car. I gave you the clap. [Cindy claps her hands as everyone else in the elevator gasps and takes a step away from both of them]

[Mike tries to join other film industry unions:] Mike: Well it's only a dozen little animated lights... Union Clerk #1: No no no, you can't *move* 'em; gotta join the Grippers' Guild. Mike: I have to be an apprentice first? Union Clerk #2: For three consecutive years, but ya can't be over twenty-five years old. Mike: This is simple back-projection! Union Clerk #3: Go see Union Projectionists! Mike: But it's just projected to a painted matte! Union Clerk #4: Then also join the Painters' Guild. Union Manager: Get his number! Union Clerk #5: He doesn't have a number. Union Manager: Then give him a number and take it away!

All the scenes involving the Union representatives were filmed in the same room, at the same desk, and with the same actor ('Will Ryan') playing all the representatives.
-
The seal of one of the film unions is a vulture holding a twisted strip of film in its talons.

This film - in its finished form - was inspired by Jittlov's real-world problems and experiences.
