Stuber is a 2019 American buddy cop action comedy film directed by Michael Dowse and written by Tripper Clancy.

Iko Uwais, Natalie Morales, Betty Gilpin, Jimmy Tatro, Mira Sorvino, and Karen Gillan also star. The film had its world premiere at South by Southwest on March 13, 2019 and was theatrically released in the United States by 20th Century Fox on July 12, 2019.

Come on. - What are you doing? - Get over here, big guy. After all the horrors we've been through... we've earned this. Come on. - Save it for a tree, bud. - Hey. Men can hug. Okay? And I know deep inside that... needlessly muscular body... is the biggest muscle of all, your heart. - And I want to hug that heart. - Stu!
Stuber
Oh, my God. Jesus. Stu, what happened to you? Becca, I have to tell you something. Okay, then... come over, Stu. - And we can... - Becca, I am in love with you. And I have been since the moment we met. You date assholes. I'm sorry, but you do. And I wait on the sidelines, and I come when you call... and I encourage you and I make your dreams my dreams... and I guess I've just been hoping that someday you would look at me and see me differently. And something would click! What the... Uh, I'm sorry, this is a little unfair. Um... So you were too afraid to tell me how you felt and now it's my fault... for not clicking? No, no, no. You're right. It's not your fault, it's my fault.
Stuber
I just can't do this anymore. I can't have casual sex with you and pretend like I don't feel anything. I can't open a business with you and hope that that will make you fall in love with me. Okay, all right. I guess I'll find the other half somehow. No, no. Keep my money, seriously. I know it's gonna be very successful and as an investor I'll become super wealthy. But it's your dream, not mine. Wait, what? But I don't wanna lose you. Can we still be friends? No. No. Because I am in love with you.

- Nikki? - Dad! Hey, I'm still pissed off at you... but my show is over. Um, I'm alive and I definitely don't need this gun anymore, so... Yeah, Nikki, I gotta call you back. McHenry's pulling up. McHenry? She was acting really weird tonight. Like, really huggy. - Yeah, something's not right. - Dad. What's going on? Where are you? I gotta go. Dad? What's going on? Where are the feds? I didn't think we needed 'em.
Stuber
This whole drop's a setup? McHENRY: No, the drop's happening tonight. And next week, now that the feds aren't up our ass. And you tipped off Tedjo. And you got Morris killed, you rat! They were supposed to be gone before you guys arrived. Like I said, Vic... Morris wasn't your fault. Wish you were the kind of guy that could have cashed in too. Hold on, now. Just wait.
