“If it did well, and they gave us like $50 million dollars, as opposed to the $26M we got for this one, we could benefit from that.”
SETH ROGEN ON PINEAPPLE EXPRESS
"Even if you don't smoke weed, I think you could still appreciate the film because the fact of the matter is it's about buddies, it's not necessarily just about weed. I think that's the thing that separates this from a lot of other stoner films. Those other films tend to be just about marijuana, the marijuana culture, and this to me just seems like it's a component of the film but not necessarily what the film revolves around."
"Clearly, I've never been chased by murderers, but when we were developing the relationship between the guys, it did come off our experiences, the kind of awkward interactions we've had with people we've bought weed from and just kind of ways we'd gone about our lives in the past, It was definitely based on a lot of experiences that we had and that's why we thought it could be a relatable movie. We've been through this. Everyone's been with someone who's bought weed or knows someone who's sold weed or gone and bought weed themselves." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dale Denton: How could he find us?
Saul: Umm, heat-seeking missiles, bloodhounds, foxes, barracudas.
Dale Denton: It's just... I'm kinda flabbergasted when you say things like that. It's weird.
Saul: Thank you.
Dale Denton: Not a compliment.

Dale Denton: Whoa, whoa! I gotta get to a phone man. Come on!
Saul: No, no! I think we should stay.
Dale Denton: Why?
Saul: [pause] Cause I'm in the dumpster already.

Saul: [standing with Denton on the side of a road with his thumb sticking out of his fly] Hey, look. It's like my thumb is a cock.
Dale Denton: That's not gonna get us a ride, man
