John C. Reilly (Gorgias): Hold on man, hold…we’ve got to tell him. I’ve always had a lot of great ideas. ♪If someone stood up in a crowd, and raised his voice up way out loud, and waved his arms and shook his leg you’d notice ‘em.

Will Ferrell (Socrates): You fucking crazy man. You sound insane! Do you realize that? You should be medicated.

John C. Reilly (Gorgias): Haha, that’s so funny the last time I heard that I laughed so hard I fell off my dinosaur.

Will Ferrell (Socrates): That’s like the opposite of awesome.

John C. Reilly (Gorgias): I’m just having a hard time, man. I’m just calling up for some support.

Will Ferrell (Socrates): Do you know how crazy that sounds.

John C. Reilly (Gorgias): ♪This madness must stop. There is no need to fear. You can have your cake and eat it too, just look at my career. I didn’t cry the blues. I pick silly fights.

Will Ferrell (Socrates): I can’t understand a word you said the whole time.

Will Ferrell (Socrates): It’s not rocket science, just say yes and we’ll move on.

John C. Reilly (Gorgias): That wasn’t that long! He’s only permitting me to give yes or no and I cannot do that and be accurate. I can answer the question, but I cannot give an accurate answer if the only two choices I have are yes and no. If you give me a sentence I can answer. One sentence is all I’m asking for.

Will Ferrell (Socrates): All right, professor dick weed.

John C. Reilly (Gorgias): My allegiance is to the law. I’m paid to uphold the law.

Will Ferrell (Socrates): What are you talking about?
