Frankie: [scoffs] What? No, it's not. It's Milt. Brick, I don't think a billionaire author is going to be doing the Orson Escape Room on New Year's Day. Why would he be here?

Sue: Please. [tape rattling]
Brick: [on tape] But Soran would have to navigate the Asteroid belts of Norox without a working Pernovian laser. [whispers] Pernovian laser.
Sue: Is that you?
Brick: Uh-huh! I recorded the entire series on tape. I play them when my eyes are too tired from reading.
Brick: [on tape] As professor Faxon's prophecy foretold, Soran's quest...

‘Escape Orson’ Quotes
Quote from Sue
Axl: How did I lose every game to you all these years?
Sue: You didn't.
Axl: What?
Sue: I cheated. [exhales sharply]
Axl: You mean like you cheated sometime?
Sue: No, every time, all the time.
Axl: Monopoly?
Sue: I made myself banker and slid myself money under the table.
Axl: Celebrity?
Sue: If I got a name on a card I didn't know, I would just make one up. My go-to was always a Disney Princess.
Axl: Mystery Date?
Sue: It was never a mystery to me.
Axl: Oh, my God.
Sue: Okay, look... It all started when I was three and Mom and Dad would play games with me and let me win. Winning became my obsession and my curse. In the end, it was Miss Sue, in the family room, with every game.
Quote from Mike
Frankie: So, what exactly did you mean by "disturbing"?
Mike: What?
Frankie: You said my dream was disturbing. That's a pretty strong word.
Mike: Well, you're messing around with another man. You don't think I should be disturbed by that?
Frankie: It's a dream. Haven't you ever had a dream about a celebrity before... Phoebe Cates or Lindsay Wagner or somebody?
Mike: I don't have dreams.
Frankie: I'm not talking about in life. I'm talking about when you're asleep.
Mike: So am I... I go to sleep, it's dark, I wake up, put on my shoes, and go.
Frankie: What? That can't be true. Everybody dreams.
Mike: Not me. Dreaming is just showing off while you're asleep.
Quote from Axl
Axl: Then Sean with his little dig about mirrors. I don't need to check myself out in mirrors. I know I look good.
