In this film, she goes toe-to-toe with one of the greatest legends of all time.” —Zach Braff

“There are no beta know-it-alls. You can always tell the know-it-alls by the amount of keys they have hanging from their belts. They are saying to you, the general public, Look how many things I know about; look how many things I’m in charge of; look at all my responsibilities. When you meet someone with a lot of keys on their belt, ask them a question—there is never a time when they don’t know the answer.” —John Ratzenberger
