Do you have a favorite line or scene from "Pineapple Express"? [View all]
"Pineapple Express" is a 2008 American "stoner action-comedy" film directed by David Gordon Green, produced by Judd Apatow, written by Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg, and starring Rogan and James Franco.
Seth Rogan plays a pothead process server named Dale Denton.
James Franco was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for his performance as pot dealer Saul Silver.
There are some hilarious scenes in this uneven but still very funny movie, especially the opening scene, which takes place in the late 1930s at a secret underground military base where an Army private is smoking marijuana and answering questions put to him by his superiors.
Another funny scene is after Dale & Saul have taken flight out of town into the woods because they are afraid that a killer named Ted Jones and his partner, a crooked female cop, might be able to locate them by "triangulating" their cell phones.
SAUL: : "The phones..the phones...I was thinking....maybe they can.. triangulate these things, man, or like, trace them, right?
DALE: "You're right!...That's how they got Saddam! Maybe they can even trace them..like, even when we're not even on them, you know?"
SAUL: "We can tie it to an animal, be a diversion."
DALE: "We'll never catch an animal."
SAUL: "The squirrel'd be up in a tree, they'd think we were."
DALE: "No, no, no!"
SAUL: "We'll build a hot air balloon and..."
DALE: "No"
(From then on, the scene gets even funnier)
