Quotes:
Stan: So what new gadgets have you got for me today, S?
Steve/S: Seems like an ordinary gold pen, right? Turn the top. When that gas comes in contact with a woman, her breasts grow bigger!
Stan: Don't you have anything a bit more useful?
Steve/S: Ahh, right, perhaps you'll like this. Looks like an ordinary cell-phone. Yes? Well, open it and press 3. Yeah, see, if you were a woman, you'd have some pretty big cans by now.


Bullock/B: Thank you for flying out here, Smith.
Stan: Of course, sir. But why are we dressed up like this?
Bullock/B: Because I thought we could be Secret... Asians.
Stan: A 16-hour flight for a bad pun?! (approvingly) Yes. Yes.
