  • Casting

    • Edgar Wright told his casting director not to hire any English actors as this was his first North American film. Satya Bhabha, who played Matthew Patel, successfully passed the audition with a non-English accent. Bhabha later revealed he was from London, England.

    • While Scott Pilgrim is 22 years old and his sister, Stacey Pilgrim, is 18, Michael Cera is nearly 3 years younger than Anna Kendrick. Likewise, Ellen Wong, who plays 17 year old Knives Chau, is 3 years older than Cera.

    • Brie Larson wanted to be in the film because she was a huge Edgar Wright fan. She hadn’t read any of the Scott Pilgrim books, but saw a drawing of Envy Adams. Larson decided to watch the Adult Video Awards to get inspiration. Most of the female stars shown were acting very vain, so Larson based her voice and body language on the models.

    • At least four actors in the movie have been in comic-book- and/or superhero-themed movies and/or TV series. Mary Elizabeth Winstead played Gwen Grayson in Sky High (2005) and The Huntress in Birds of Prey (2020). Michael Cera was the voice of Robin in the Lego Batman series. Chris Evans played The Human Torch in Fantastic Four movies and Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Brandon Routh was Superman in Superman Returns (2006) and the Atom in the Arrowverse. Brie Larson was Captain Marvel in the MCU. Aubrey Plaza played Lenny Busker in Legion (2017). Nelson Franklin played bit roles in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Many Heads, One Tale (2015) and Captain Marvel (2019). Mae Whitman is the voice of Batgirl, Wonder Girl, and Stephanie Brown in DC Super Hero Girls. Thomas Jane played the title role in The Punisher (2004).

  • Trivia

    • Edger Wright pitched the movie as “John Hughes meets Kill Bill”.

    • Several characters from this film represent the Seven Deadly Sins. Matthew Patel represents Wrath, Lucas Lee represents Pride, Natalie ‘Envy’ Adams represents Envy, Todd Ingram represents Gluttony, Roxy represents Lust, Gideon represents Greed and Scott himself represents Sloth, as he doesn’t have the foresight of his upcoming danger.

    • The four cast members that made up the band “Sex Bob-Omb” spent several weeks learning how to play together as a band. Mark Webber, Alison Pill, and Johnny Simmons all had to learn their instruments from scratch, while Michael Cera had to “dumb down” his bass playing in order to not outshine his band mates.

    • At the party where he talks to Ramona for the first time, Scott holds up a very badly drawn picture of Ramona and asks if anyone has seen her. Director Edgar Wright said Scott was originally supposed to hold up a picture of Ramona from the comic book series, but felt the silly drawing Scott holds up was more comedic.

    • Edgar Wright has stated the movie was done in the style of a musical, but instead of the characters breaking into song and dance, they break into a fight. The battle between Scott Pilgrim and Matthew Patel is done in the style of a Bollywood fight scene.

    • When Scott opens the door to receive his package, Michael Cera actually did throw the package over his shoulder into the bin after 33 takes (most of which are seen on the “outtakes” of the DVD). In a film with so much CGI and SFX, director Edgar Wright wanted the throw to be real for the authenticity. However, the signature shown on-screen was a visual effect superimposed onto the paper.

    • The original concept for “Scott Pilgrim” is based around 2 premises. The first was the idea of “What if, after a life of playing fighting games, someone confronted you and you actually had the ability to fight like a “Street Fighter” character?” The second concept came about when Bryan Lee O’Malley was dating his future wife, Hope Larson. When he learned that she had dated three different guys named Matthew, O’Malley came up with the idea of a League of Matthews. This idea developed into the League of Evil Exes. Matthew Patel is the only Evil Ex to keep the name Matthew.

    • The Canadian band Broken Social Scene wrote the two 4 second songs (“we hate you, please die” and “I’m so sad, so very, very, sad”) for Crash and the Boys. Metric, another Canadian band wrote the song “Black Sheep” which is performed by Scott’s rival band The Clash at Demonhead.

    • At the first Battle of the Bands and when fighting the first evil ex, Scott is seen wearing a “Plumtree” t-shirt. Plumtree is an all-girl indie rock band that released the song “Scott Pilgrim” on their 1998 album, ‘Predicts the Future’. The song became the inspiration for Bryan Lee O’Malley to create the graphic novel’s title character.

    • Originally, the film only had a title card at the beginning. It was Quentin Tarantino who suggested to Edgar Wright, late in the stage of post-production, that there should be a pre-title credit sequence. Otherwise the remaining ensemble of characters, yet to be introduced, would have been introduced in a much more rapid succession. The audience might have been overwhelmed with the introduction of characters and plot. With a pre-title sequence the audience is given a chance to relax and have a firmer grasp on the beginning of the film. Wright considered this and agreed, liking the idea that the first scene would now be a prologue.

    • The stunt doubles of Lucas Lee are the actual stunt doubles for actor Chris Evans.

    • Like the graphic novel, Scott Pilgrim is seen wearing a t-shirt with the letters “SP” in a heart. While these are Scott’s initials, the design is the logo for the band Smashing Pumpkins, an influence of creator Bryan Lee O’Malley. Scott is also seen wearing a “Zero” t-shirt, an iconic shirt often worn by Smashing Pumpkins lead singer Billy Corgan. Additionally, one of the film’s acts is titled “The Infinite Sadness” which is a reference to the Smashing Pumpkins’ 1995 album, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.

    • In the record store, when Knives picks up The Clash at Demonhead, Scott throws the CD onto another rack, and the Beck album ‘Odelay’ is visible. Beck wrote “Ramona” and composed the music for Sex Bob-Omb.

    • The band battle between Sex Bob-Omb, a Canadian rock band, and the Katayanagi Twins, a Japanese electronic group, was performed by Beck, an American rock musician, and Cornelius Keigo Oyamada, an electronic musician from Japan.

    • Edgar Wright told the actors not to blink to give the film a comic book vibe. There are only a few moments in the entire movie where someone blinks.

    • Kim Pine only blinks once during the entire movie. Apart from that, she only breaks her gaze three times – she lowers her eyes twice and has her eyes closed when announcing Sex Bob-Omb for the last time.

    • During the editing process, Edgar Wright showed filmmakers Quentin Tarantino, Jason Reitman, and Kevin Smith a rough cut of the film, to which they responded positively.

    • The name of Scott Pilgrim’s band, Sex Bob-Omb, is a reference to the Nintendo video game Super Mario Bros. 2 (1988). The game features an enemy character named Bob-omb that looks like a small, round bomb with a lit fuse, legs, and eyes. An image resembling this character is depicted on the band’s kick drum. “Sex Bomb” is the name of a song by the punk rock band Flipper, as well as a hit record by singer Tom Jones.

    • During the battle with the Katayanagi twins, a split second before Gideon kisses Ramona’s right hand, the green ring on her index finger glows, the sound effect is from Flash Gordon (1980). Specifically when Ming the Merciless’s ring casts a spell upon Dale Arden, and at the very end’s cliff hanger.

    • During the amp vs amp battle when the the Katayanagi Twins turn up their speakers the volume control goes to 11, a reference to This Is Spinal Tap (1984).

    • The logo for Lucas Lee’s skateboard company, that is tattooed on his chest, resembles an upside down Toronto city flag. It also can be seen as two letter “L”s (one of them backwards), over a board.

    • As per common comic-book custom, a number of supporting characters have alliterative names: Gideon Gordon Graves, Ken Katayanagi, Kyle Katayanagi, Lucas Lee, Neil Nordegraf, Roxanne Richter, Stephen Stills, and Wallace Wells.

    • Whenever the moon is shown, it is full and there is a hole in it. Ramona’s third boyfriend, Todd Ingram, is mentioned in flashback to have punched the hole there for her when they dated. In the graphic novel, Todd punches a second hole in the moon for Envy Adams.

    • When Ramona asks Scott how old Knives is, the roulette wheel in his mind has the following choices: “She’s Nobody”, “She’s Forty!”, “Idiot!”, “No Speaka English”, “When’s Dinner”, “Uhh…”, “Tell Pac-Man (1980) Story”, “No, You Are”, “Pass Out”, “It Was Nothing”, “Who Her?” and “I Gotta Pee”.

    • Matthew Patel is the only Evil Ex that Scott defeats single-handedly. Lucas Lee obliterates himself in an accident, the Vegan Police help to defeat Todd, Ramona helps to defeat Roxie, Stephen Stills and Kim help to defeat the Katayanagi Twins, and Knives and Ramona help to defeat Gideon.

    • Throughout the film when Scott faces an evil ex, a number corresponding to them appears: Evil Ex 1 = 1 chevron on his left shoulder Evil Ex 2 = 2 on the trailer. 2 on the car. A small tattoo of 2 on his neck. His belt has two X’s, XX. Evil Ex 3 = 3 on his shirt. 3 on the posters on the wall. Also 3 on the trash cans in the alley. Evil Ex 4 = Number 4 on the night club door. Evil Ex 5 & 6 = Amp system goes up to 11 (5+6). Evil Ex 7 = When Scott goes to see Gideon it mentions it is level 7. When Gideon makes his sword appear, all of the stats read “x7”. He also makes a reference to the gum he swallows to being in his digestive tract for 7 years. The final score after Scott defeats Gideon is 7,000,000,000 Gideon’s initials is GGG, with G being the 7th letter in the alphabet. Scott himself is seen wearing (and drinking) “Zero” a number of times.

    • Scott is briefly seen wearing a shirt with the Fantastic Four logo on it at band practice. It is the only time in the movie he wears a number other than “zero.” The shirt also has a very small ‘1/2’ written into the logo, making him 4.5, which director Edgar Wright stated on the DVD commentary was a reference to Scott reaching the brink of becoming yet another Evil Ex. Scott is seen wearing the shirt after he defeats Roxy, the 4th evil ex, and before he battles the Katayanagi twins, the 5th and 6th evil exes.

    • An alternate ending was filmed in which Ramona left to explore what she was like without a boyfriend and Scott and Knives ended up back together.

    • Body count: 46 (if counting that Scott got killed the count is 47, however he got an extra life and was resurrected).

    • Envy’s stage name derives from the initial letters of her first name (Natalie) and middle name (Veronica) = N.V.

    • The room stretching in the beginning was Quentin Tarantino’s idea.

    • Wright took the line “Why wouldn’t you be?” regarding being a big fan of Lucas Lee from an actual response he got from the Hives’ lead singer Pelle Almqvist.

    • Julie Powers has a massive crush on Scott since college. Brian Lee O’Malley gave each of the cast 10 secrets about their characters, and this was one of them.

    • Bill Hader did the narrations.

Quotes

Scott Pilgrim: When I'm around you, I kind of feel like I'm on drugs. Not that I do drugs. Unless you do drugs, in which case I do them all the time. All of them.

Knives Chau: What do you play?

Young Neil: Wow, ummm... Zelda... Tetris... that's kind of a big question.

Ramona V. Flowers: This is good garlic bread.

Scott Pilgrim: Yeah, I think garlic bread would have to be my favourite all-time food. I could eat it for every meal. Or just constantly, without stopping.

Ramona V. Flowers: Then you'd get fat.

Scott Pilgrim: No, why would I get fat?

Ramona V. Flowers: Because bread makes you fat.

Scott Pilgrim: Bread makes you fat?

Scott Pilgrim: We are Sex Bob-Omb and we are here to make you think about death and get sad and stuff.

Scott Pilgrim: I have to go pee due to boredom.

Ramona V. Flowers: What kind of tea do you want?

Scott Pilgrim: There's more than one kind?

Ramona V. Flowers: We have blueberry, raspberry, ginseng, sleepy time, green tea, green tea with lemon, green tea with lemon and honey, liver disaster, ginger with honey, ginger without honey, vanilla almond, white truffel, blueberry chamomile, vanilla walnut, constant comment and... earl grey.

Scott Pilgrim: Did you make some of those up?

Knives Chau: I've never even kissed a guy before.

Scott Pilgrim: Hey... me neither.

Scott Pilgrim: I know you play mysterious and aloof just to avoid getting hurt. And I know you have reasons for not wanting talk about your past. I want you to know that I don't care about any of that stuff. Because I'm in lesbians with you.

Wallace Wells: If you want something bad, you have to fight for it. Step up your game, Scott. Break out the L-word.

Scott Pilgrim: Lesbian?

Wallace Wells: The other L-word.

Scott Pilgrim: ...Lesbians?

Todd Ingram: We have an unfinished business. I and he.

Scott Pilgrim: He and me.

Todd Ingram: Don't you talk to me about grammar!

Wallace Wells: Sweet!

[to Jimmy]

Wallace Wells: I love this song!

Gideon Gordon Graves: You made me swallow my gum! That's going to be in my digestive tract for seven years!

Todd Ingram: That's bullroar!

Vegan Police: No vegan diet, no vegan powers!

Todd Ingram: But-But this is only my first offense. Don't I get three strikes? I mean...

Vegan Police: [to Policeman #2] Take it.

Vegan Police: [whips out notepad] 12:47 on February 1st: You knowingly ingested gelato.

Todd Ingram: Gelato isn't vegan?

Vegan Police: It's milk and eggs, bitch.

Wallace Wells: Amazon.ca

Roxy Richter: Your BF's about to get eff'd in the b!

Envy Adams: You are incorrigible.

Todd Ingram: I don't know the meaning of the word.

Text: He really doesn't.

Wallace Wells: [to Scott] Everything does suck.

[phone rings]

Wallace Wells: Or does it?

[picks up the phone]

Wallace Wells: Hello? Oh, hey Knives. What's that? You're outside?

Wallace Wells: Yeah.

[Scott reaches through the window and grabs his jacket]

Wallace Wells: Sorry.

[Scott runs away behind Knives]

Scott Pilgrim: Hey so, can this not be a one-night stand? For one thing I didn't even get any. That was a joke.

Ramona V. Flowers: What did you have in mind?

Scott Pilgrim: Oh, come to this first round of this battle of the bands thing.

Ramona V. Flowers: You have a band?

Scott Pilgrim: Yeah, we're terrible. Please come.

Ramona V. Flowers: [sighs] Sure.

[leaves]

Scott Pilgrim: Oh wait, can I get your number?

Ramona V. Flowers: Here.

Scott Pilgrim: Wow... girl number...

Ramona V. Flowers: See you at the show Scott Pilgrim.

Scott Pilgrim: Oh hey it's tonight! At the...

Todd Ingram: Tell it to the cleaning lady on Monday.

Scott Pilgrim: What?

Todd Ingram: Because you'll be dust by Monday... because you'll be pulverized in two seconds. The cleaning lady? She cleans up... dust. She dusts.

Scott Pilgrim: So, what's on Monday?

Todd Ingram: 'Cause... it's Friday now, she's the weekends off, so... Monday, right?"

Envy Adams: Basically, you can't win this fight, so you better give up on this girl, 'cause Todd's gonna kill you.

Scott Pilgrim: You used to be so nice!

[Runs towards Todd Ingram, who holds his hand up and lifts him a foot into the air with his mind powers, then hurls him through a brick wall]

Stephen Stills: Um, Scott, we're gonna go to Pizza-pizza for a slice, call us when you're done...

[He and Kim walk off]

Envy Adams: Oh, he'll be done, real soon...

Todd Ingram: [a long bass note is played from the hole] Sounds like someone wants to get... funky.

Julie Powers: So, what can I *censored* get you?

Scott Pilgrim: Is there anywhere you don't work?

Julie Powers: They're called jobs, something a *censored* ball like you wouldn't know anything about. And by the way, I can't *censored* believe you asked Ramona out after I specifically told you not to *censored* do that!

Scott Pilgrim: How are you doing that with your mouth?

Julie Powers: Never *censored* mind how I'm doing it!

Gideon Gordon Graves: Do you have any idea how long it took me to get all the evil exes' contact information so I could form this stupid league? Like, two hours! *Two hours!*

Stacey Pilgrim: Next time, we don't date the girl with eleven evil ex-boyfriends.

Scott Pilgrim: It's seven.

Stacey Pilgrim: Oh, well, that's not that bad.

Scott Pilgrim: So what you're saying is we're dating?

Ramona V. Flowers: I guess.

Scott Pilgrim: Does that mean we can make out?

Ramona V. Flowers: Sure.

[Ramona approaches Gideon seductively]

Gideon Gordon Graves: Yeah. Still my girl.

Ramona V. Flowers: Let's both be girls.

[She knees him in the groin]

Stacey Pilgrim: 17-year-old? Scandal.

Scott Pilgrim: Who told you.

Stacey Pilgrim: Wallace, duh.

Scott Pilgrim: That gossipy bitch.

Wallace Wells: [on the phone listening] You know me.

Scott Pilgrim: Why can't we have our own secret shows?

Kim Pine: All of our shows are secret shows.

Wallace Wells: Guess who's drunk!

Scott Pilgrim: I guess Wallace.

Wallace Wells: You guess right!

Kim Pine: We are Sex Bob-Omb! And we're here to watch Scott Pilgrim kick your teeth in! One-two-three-four!

Knives Chau: Go ahead. I'm too cool for you anyway.

Kim Pine: Scott Pilgrim, you're the salt of the earth.

Scott Pilgrim: Thanks, Kim.

Kim Pine: I meant "scum" of the earth.

Ramona V. Flowers: Listen, I know I can be hard to be around sometimes. I totally understand if you don't want to hang anymore.

Scott Pilgrim: No, no, I want to hang. It's... You know, the whole evil ex-boyfriend thing...

Ramona V. Flowers: Exes...

Scott Pilgrim: It's no biggie. Um. You know, I know it's early, but I don't think anything can get in the way of how I SHIT!

[Camera cuts to Scott's ex standing behind Ramona]

Knives Chau: Hey Scott!

Scott Pilgrim: What the hell...

Ramona V. Flowers: Who is that girl again?

Stephen Stills: Scott dated her.

Scott Pilgrim: Briefly.

Ramona V. Flowers: How old is she?

Scott Pilgrim: Uhhhhhhhh...

[the camera goes into his head. We see a wheel listing various thoughts. The arrow gets stuck between "I gotta pee" and "Who, her?"]

Scott Pilgrim: I gotta pee on her!... I mean, I gotta pee. Pee time.

Other Scott: And you didn't bang her? Are you gay?

Scott Pilgrim: I couldn't stop thinking about my stupid ex-girlfriend.

Jimmy: Is that the Uma Thurman movie?

Scott Pilgrim: That's it! You cocky cock! You'll pay for your crimes against humanity.

Young Neil: He punched the highlights out of her hair!

Matthew Patel: This is impossible. How can this be?

Scott Pilgrim: Open your eyes. Maybe you'll see!

Lucas Lee: [before doing a grind on his skateboard] Somebody bring me my board!

[Wallace taps Lucas on his shoulder holding his skateboard]

Wallace Wells: Hi, big fan.

Lucas Lee: [cracking his neck] Why wouldn't you be?

Scott Pilgrim: You know what really sucks?

[Spells out "sux" with refrigerator magnets]

Wallace Wells: What?

Scott Pilgrim: [Rotates a magnet numeral 8 on its side, the mathematical symbol for infinity] Everything...

Kim Pine: Believe it or not I used to date Scott in high school.

Ramona V. Flowers: Oh? Do you have any embarrassing stories?

Kim Pine: [laughs sarcastically] Yeah... he's an idiot!

Wallace Wells: I want to have his adopted babies.

Crash: Good evening. My name is Crash, and these are the Boys.

Wallace Wells: [yelling out] Is that girl a boy too?

Crash: Yes!

[girl drummer flips him off]

Scott Pilgrim: Hey You totally came!

Ramona V. Flowers: Yes I did totally come...

Stephen Stills: I have distressing news.

Kim Pine: Is the news that we suck, because I really don't think I can take it.

Envy Adams: Short answer: Vegans are just better then everyone else.

Stacey Pilgrim: You should break up with your fake highschool girlfriend!

Scott Pilgrim: Wait who told you?

Stacey Pilgrim: Wallace.

Scott Pilgrim: He's not even conscious!

Hipster Bouncer: What's the password?

Scott Pilgrim: Uh... whatever...

Hipster Bouncer: Cool...

Envy Adams: You just headbutted my boyfriend so hard he burst.

Lucas Lee: The only thing separating me from her is the two minutes it's gonna take to kick your ass.

Kim Pine: Scott, if your life had a face, I would punch it.

Scott Pilgrim: Hahahaha... wait, what?

Kim Pine: I mean, are you really happy or really evil?

Scott Pilgrim: Evil? You mean, do I have, like, ulterior motives? I'm offended, Kim.

Kim Pine: Wounded, even?

Scott Pilgrim: Hurt, Kim.

Roxy Richter: [while preparing to slay Scott Pilgrim] Every Pilgrim reaches the end of it's journey... some sooner than others.

Wallace Wells: You doing okay there?

Scott Pilgrim: Yeah, good, good, good. She changed her hair.

Wallace Wells: So, it looks nice blue!

Scott Pilgrim: Yeah I know, but she did it without making a big deal out of it or anything... She's fickle, impulsive, spontaneous... God what am I going to do?

Scott Pilgrim: Oh God!

Wallace Wells: What is it, Scott?

Scott Pilgrim: I had this totally weird dream...

Other Scott: Oh God!

Wallace Wells: What is it, Other Scott?

Other Scott: Can we skip the dream time? Color me not interested.

Scott Pilgrim: But there was this girl...

Wallace Wells: Girl...

Other Scott: Is this an envy-related dream again?

Wallace Wells: You don't use the "e" word in this house.

Ramona V. Flowers: [Refering to Gideon] I was more alone when we were together than I ever was on my own.

Scott Pilgrim: Hey, what's up?

Ramona V. Flowers: Nothing.

Scott Pilgrim: Hey, you know Pac-man?

Ramona V. Flowers: I know of him.

Scott Pilgrim: Well, Pac-man was originally called Puck-man. They changed it because... Not because Pac-man looks like a hockey puck. "Paku Paku" means "flap your mouth", and they were worried that people would change, scratch out the P turn it into an F, like...

Ramona V. Flowers: Yeah, that's amazing.

Scott Pilgrim: Um... Am I dreaming? I'll leave you alone forever now.

Ramona V. Flowers: Thanks.

Wallace Wells: Hey, what's up with his outfit?

Guy in Crowd: Yeah, is he a pirate?

Scott Pilgrim: Are you a pirate?

Matthew Patel: Pirates are in this year!

Roxy Richter: You punched me in the boob! Prepare to die, obviously!

Scott Pilgrim: You're pretentious, this club sucks, I have beef. Let's do it.

Knives Chau: [talking to Ramona Flowers] You broke the heart that broke mine.

Ramona V. Flowers: [after defending Scott from Roxy] Do that again, and I will end you!

Stephen Stills: Level with me... did we suck?

Ramona V. Flowers: I don't know... did you?

[walks away]

Stephen Stills: ...she has to go. She knows we suck.

Stephen Stills: If we win, it won't just be Knives wearing Sex Bom-Omb shirts. It'll be the cool kids, too.

[during the introduction of "Black Sheep" by The Clash at Demonhead]

Scott Pilgrim: That guy on bass...

Envy Adams: Oh, yeah.

Scott Pilgrim: That's Todd.

Ramona V. Flowers: I know.

Envy Adams: Oh, yeah!

Scott Pilgrim: You know?

Envy Adams: OH, YEAH!

Scott Pilgrim: Oh, no.

Scott Pilgrim: [from trailer] You know her?

Ramona V. Flowers: It was just a phase.

Scott Pilgrim: You had a sexy phase?

Ramona V. Flowers: I was just a litte bi-curious.

Roxy Richter: I'm just a little bi-furious!

Roxy Richter: Oh I'd love to postpone, but I just cashed in my last rain check.

Scott Pilgrim: Where's that from?

Roxy Richter: My brain!

Knives Chau: Is Scott here?

Wallace Wells: Uh, you know what...

[Scott jumps through the window]

Wallace Wells: He just left.

Knives Chau: Really?

[Scott reaches back in and grabs his jacket]

Wallace Wells: Yeah... sorry.

[Scott runs away behind Knives]

Gideon Gordon Graves: [talking to Scott Pilgrim] Well, if my cathedral of cutting-edge taste holds no interest for your tragically Canadian sensibilities, then I shall be forced to grant you a swift exit from the premises... and a fast entrance into hell!

Lucas Lee: Prepare to feel the wrath of the League of the Evil Exes.

Ramona V. Flowers: He was a snot-nosed little brat. He just followed me around.

Scott Pilgrim: He had snot in his nose? But he's famous.

Wallace Wells: Scott, you know I love you. But I need my own bed tonight. It's for sex.

Scott Pilgrim: Right.

Wallace Wells: I may need it for the rest of the week too... and the year.

Scott Pilgrim: Right, I get it.

Wallace Wells: Hey, maybe you can move in with Ramona.

Scott Pilgrim: [pause as Scott shakes his head] She's with Gideon now.

Wallace Wells: Ah, that sucks, but you know it's probably just because he's better than you.

Wallace Wells: Look, I didn't write the gay handbook. If you got a problem with it, take it up with Liberace's ghost.

Todd Ingram: I partake not in the meat, nor the breastmilk, nor the ovum, of any creature, with a face.

[repeated line]

Scott Pilgrim: I have to pee.

Scott Pilgrim: [Roxy confronts Scott and Ramona] You know this girl?

Roxy Richter: Oh boy, does she know me.

Scott Pilgrim: [to Ramona] What is she talking about?

Roxy Richter: [to Ramona] He really doesn't know?

Scott Pilgrim: Wait...

[Gauge in Scott's head flips from "No Clue" to "Gets It"]

Scott Pilgrim: Ciao Knives!

Stephen Stills: [as a 1UP appears in front of Scott] What are you doing?

Scott Pilgrim: Getting a life.

[grabs 1UP]

[Lucas has just punched Scott to the ground. He turns to Ramona]

Lucas Lee: 'Sup? How's life? He seems nice.

Ramona V. Flowers: Well, it was nice to meet you and tell your gay friends I will see them later.

Stacey Pilgrim: Gay friends?

[Wallace and Jimmy are making out]

Stacey Pilgrim: Wallace? Again?

Wallace Wells: Kick her in the balls!

Ramona V. Flowers: Uh, Scott Pilgrim?

Scott Pilgrim: Hi. I was thinking about asking you out, but then I realized how stupid that would be. So do you want to go out sometime?

Ramona V. Flowers: Um, no, that's ok. You can just sign for this, all right?

Scott Pilgrim: I just woke up, and you were in my dream. I dreamt that you were delivering me this package. Is that weird?

Ramona V. Flowers: It's not weird at all.

Scott Pilgrim: It's not?

Ramona V. Flowers: You just have this convenient subspace highway running through your head that I like to use. It's like three miles in 15 seconds.

Scott Pilgrim: Right, right.

Ramona V. Flowers: I forgot you guys don't have that in Canada.

Scott Pilgrim: You don't remember me, do you? We met at the party the other day.

Ramona V. Flowers: Were you the Pac-man guy?

Scott Pilgrim: No. Not even. That was some total ass. I was the other guy.

Ramona V. Flowers: You know, you need to sign for this- whatever this is.

Scott Pilgrim: But if I sign for it you'll leave.

Ramona V. Flowers: Yeah, it's how it works.

Scott Pilgrim: Okey. Well, maybe, do you wanna hang out sometime? Get to know each other. You're the new kid on the block, right? I've lived here forever, so there are reasons for you to hang out with me.

Ramona V. Flowers: You want me to hang out with you?

Scott Pilgrim: Um, yeah, if that's cool.

Ramona V. Flowers: If I say yes, will you sign for your damn package?

Scott Pilgrim: So yeah. 8:00?

Ramona V. Flowers: We all have baggage.

Wallace Wells: Okay, presumeably, you may have just seen a dude's junk, and I'm very sorry for that... so is he.

Wallace Wells: What a perfect asshole.

Knives Chau: [to Ramona] Steal my boyfriend, taste my steel!

Stephen Stills: Oh god!... oh man! This is a nightmare! Is this a nightmare? Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up...!

Scott Pilgrim: It's just nerves!

Kim Pine: Once we're on stage, you'll be fine.

Stephen Stills: We were just on stage for sound check, and the sound guy hated us!

Scott Pilgrim: I don't think I can hit a girl. They're soft.

Gideon Gordon Graves: [stabs Scott in the chest while he is caught off guard] Game Over.

[Scott falls over, dead]

Gideon Gordon Graves: Scotty, you can cheat on many girls as you like. But you can't... cheat... death.

[phone rings; Some Guy picks it up offscreen]

Some Guy: [whispering] It's for Scott.

Wallace Wells: [takes the phone from Some Guy and passes it to Scott] It's for you, big guy.

Scott Pilgrim: [takes the phone] Hello?

Gideon Gordon Graves: Hey, pal! I just wanna say I feel terrible about earlier. I don't want any hard feelings, so I figured, why not be the bigger man, and just give you a call.

Scott Pilgrim: Is Ramona with you?

Gideon Gordon Graves: I dunno...

[to a brainwashed Ramona]

Gideon Gordon Graves: Are you with me?

Ramona V. Flowers: [deadpan] Yeah.

[Scott screams in agony on phone]

Gideon Gordon Graves: Geez, buddy, it's gonna be all right!

Scott Pilgrim: No, I just spilled hot cocoa on my crotch!

Gideon Gordon Graves: Mm-hmm... Listen, as you know, I'm opening a new Chaos Theatre in Toronto, and the Sex Bobs are playing our grand opening tonight, and it would feel really weird for all of us if you weren't there. They just did a soundtrack, and the acoustics here are *amazing*!

Scott Pilgrim: [looking intense] Yeah, maybe I'll see you there.

Gideon Gordon Graves: I hope so amigo. I don't want any more bad blood between exes. What do you say?

Scott Pilgrim: Mm-hmm

Gideon Gordon Graves: OK, laytaz'!

[hangs up]

Wallace Wells: What a perfect asshole.

[Scott notices that Wallace was listening in on another phone]

Wallace Wells: Forget what I said earlier.

[hangs up phone]

Wallace Wells: Finish him.

[Scott dramatically gears up, and runs off to the Chaos Theatre for the "final level" as Wallace and Some Guy watch from inside]

Julie Powers: What about Ramona Flowers?

Scott Pilgrim: You know her? Tell me now.

Scott Pilgrim: I can not... have... tea.

Wallace Wells: I didn't write the gay rule book... take it up with Liberace's ghost.

[from trailer]

Kim Pine: That... was *epic.*

Young Neil: I didn't write the gay rule book... take it up with Liberace's ghost.

Scott Pilgrim: Can we please stop all this fighting! Nobody stole anybody. Knives, I dated you and then I dated Ramona. Okay?

[beat; realizes what he said]

Scott Pilgrim: Maybe I forgot to tell Knives right away?

Knives Chau: You cheated on me, Scott? You cheated on both of us?

Ramona V. Flowers: You cheated on me with Knives?

Scott Pilgrim: No, I cheated on Knives with you.

Ramona V. Flowers: Is there a difference?

Scott Pilgrim: [sheepishly] You weren't wronged?

[Scott is immediately stabbed in the back by Gideon]

Gideon Gordon Graves: [through gritted teeth] Game over!

[Scott falls to the ground, crumpled over - dead]

Gideon Gordon Graves: Scottie. You can cheat on these ladies all you want, but you can't... cheat... death.

Kim Pine: Scott. Not that I care, but you should go talk to Ramona before she's gone.

Scott Pilgrim: Thanks, Kim.

Kim Pine: And I really don't care.
