You're not the boss of me, Jack. You're not the king of Dirk. I'm the boss of me. I'm the king of me. I'm Dirk Diggler. I'm the star. It's my big dick and I say when we roll.
One of the most memorable parts from Fight Club:
Jack: Let me tell you a little bit about Tyler. Tyler was a night person. While the rest of us were sleeping, he worked. He had one part time job as a projectionist. See, a movie doesn't come all on one big reel. It comes on a few. So someone has to be there to switch the projectors at the exact moment that one reel ends and the next one begins. If you look for it, you can see these little dots come into the upper right-hand corner of the screen.
*Tyler points at it*
Tyler: In the industry, we call them cigarette burns.
Jack: That's the cue for a changeover. He flips the projectors, the movie keeps right on going, and nobody in the audience has any idea.
Tyler: And why would anyone want this shit job?
Jack: Because it affords him other interesting opportunities.
Tyler: Like splicing single frames of pornography into family films.
Jack: So when the snooty cat and the courageous dog with the celebrity voices meet for the first time in reel three, that's when you'll catch a flash of Tyler's contribution to the film.
*Cue to an audience watching a movie. A porn scene audibly flashes for a split second*
Jack: Nobody knows that they saw it, but they did.
Tyler: A nice, big cock.
*The audience is shocked; a little girl cries*
Jack: Even a hummingbird couldn't catch Tyler at work.
*Scene changes to a dinner in a hotel*
Jack: Tyler also works sometimes as a banquet waiter at the luxurious pressman hotel.
*Scene changes to the hotel's kitchen; Tyler is urinating on a food cart*
Jack: He was the guerrilla terrorist of the food service industry.
Tyler: Do not watch. I cannot go when you watch.
Jack: Apart from seasoning the lobster bisque, he farted on meringues, sneezed on braised endive, and as for the cream of mushroom soup, well...
Tyler: Go ahead, tell 'em.
Jack: ...you get the idea.

A scene from Los Simuladores:
(Setting is a courtroom. Ravenna is posing as a lawyer taking a statement)
Ravenna: What is your job, Mr. Itzkoff?
Itzkoff: I'm a advertising creative executive.
Ravenna: "Advertising creative executive." And what would that activity consist on?
Itzkoff: Well, I picture the best way to sell a particular product.
Ravenna: Would that be a product that people need?
Itzkoff: I don't understand.
Ravenna: Of course, if one is cold, they go out and buy a coat. If someone's hungry, they go out and buy something to eat. In that regard, your activity would not be very logical.
Itzkoff: Then?
Ravenna: According this book, "Creativity and Marketing" from licensees Michigan and Kessler, advertising consists on selling someone something that they don't actually need. Do you agree with that definition?
Itzkoff: Could be, yes.
Ravenna: In that case, in college you learn how to plug in someone something they don't really need, making them believe they'll be happier that way?
Itzkoff: Well, that's one way to see it.
Ravenna: According your studies, whom do you think has a more consumeristic profile: a happy person, or an unhappy person?
Itzkoff: An unhappy person. In fact, in advertising we work precisely with the "illusion of happiness", so to speak — if you drink a certain beverage, you will be happier; if you have a particular mobile phone, you'll surely be happier... someone who feels complete or satisfied surely won't consume.
Ravenna: So it is not convenient for the capitalist system to have people feeling satisfied?
Itzkoff: Well, I don't get hired by people. I get hired by those who sell mobile phones.
