Geoffrey Anderson: Hunh? But— Now, wait a minute! You can't just—
Linda Danvers: Oh, yes, I can! I'm sick of the whole rotten news business! My articles and the actions of your favorite camera operator cost a man his life! That's enough for me! I've got better things to do with my life than stay in a business that exploits people.

Rocket Raccoon: Yes. Yes, you are. But you will be looking pretty funny while you're doing it.
Rocket's boss: Why?

"So you walked out of your job today
Told 'em fuck off — FUCK OFF! — and you spit in their face
'Cause I think that they've gotten used to
Trying to tell my dumb ass what to do

Now, I do have to give a disclaimer here: If you hate your job and you watch this movie, you may find the scene where he escapes the slave mines so inspiring that you decide that's it, you're gonna quit your job right then and there. That could be a bad idea, so you may wanna have a plan for that first before you watch the movie. I thought I should warn people about that.
— Ross Scott on The Wolfhound

And I hate you for making me make a man bleed"

Janie Burnham: Sorry I'm late.
Carolyn Burnham: No, that's quite all right, dear. Your father and I were just discussing his day at work. Why don't you tell our daughter about it, honey?
Lester Burnham: Janie, today I quit my job. And then I told my boss to go fuck himself, and then I blackmailed him for almost sixty thousand dollars. Pass the asparagus.

ADR Director Lou: Cut! Roll it back! What are you doing? Daniel, that line is not in the script. Why did you add it?
Daniel Hillard: Well, I thought I should comment on the situation.
Lou: What situation?
Daniel: The fact that Pudgy the Parrot having a cigarette shoved into his mouth is morally irresponsible!
Lou: This is a cartoon, okay? This is not a friggin' Oprah Winfrey special.
Daniel: Lou, millions of kids see this cartoon. It's like sending each one of them a packet of cigarettes and saying "Light up!"
Lou: You can't put words in Pudgy's mouth if his mouth isn't moving!
Daniel Hillard: Well, it's a voiceover. It's an interior monologue. Maybe even the voice of God, that's even better! (Imitates God) Don't, Pudgy! Don't smoke!
Lou: Actors.
Daniel: What? Well, let's ask the technicians! Do you think it's morally right to promote smoking to the youth of America? (all three men are smoking) They're biased. That's a mistrial.
Lou: Daniel, listen to me. This session is costing the studio thousands of dollars. Now if you want a paycheck, you stick to the script. If you wanna play Gandhi, then do it on somebody else's time.
Daniel: (takes off his headset and imitates Gandhi) Then I've got to do what I've got to do. (starts to leave)
Lou: That's very funny. Where the hell are you going? Hey, listen, buddy! I'll tell you something! If you leave, you're not coming back in! I'm not taking any crap from you, pal!
Daniel: Well... In the words of Porky Pig: "Pi-pi-pi-pi... Pi-pi-pi-pi-pi-piss off, Lou!"
