Quotes 

• Isaac : Someone holds the copyright to "Happy Birthday"?

• Dan Rydell : No one understands the value of a healthy hunch.

  Isaac : Our lawyers understand the value of a healthy hunch. It's $400 an hour, plus court costs.

• Casey McCall : Listen to me. There is a fly in the studio, and this is not a normal-sized fly. It's a jumbo fly. It has made a habit, now, of flying into my monitors at a great velocity. You would think that at this velocity it would blow apart on impact, but apparently this fly has some sort of protective coating that allows it to come right back at me.

  Isaac : Protective coating?

  Casey McCall : Yes.

  Dana Whitaker : Does the fly have any other special powers?

  Casey McCall : No. Well, Jeremy thinks it might have some sort of stealth capability.
