Another Idea
I found a site with movie scripts on it I'm look through Swingers right now.
http://www.script-o-rama.com
This should save time.

This should save time.
Ok, here's what I got:
3: 786936197679 Swingers (Special Edition) (1996)
p: This is late night decision making at its worst.
The scene in question is called "Short Term Relationship."
Time stamp is 58:41
Our friend "Mike" (Jon Favreau) is returning home from a night out with his friends where he has met a girl. She has given him her phone number and his friends have told him to wait at least a couple days before he calls.
The scene starts out with Mike entering his appartment. He checks his answering machine for any mesages, because he is hoping his ex will have called. He has no messages. It is 2:32 am and he decides to call Nikki, the girl who gave him her number at the bar (Brooke Langton.)
He calls and gets her answering machine. He leaves a message telling her to call him sometime, but he gets disconnected after only leaving part of his phone number.
He calls back to leave the number, but gets cut off again.
The third call is just him leaving his phone number really quick, and then rambling about how they should hang out.
He then calls back again, to tell Nikki that the reason he is acting strange is because he just got out of a 6 year relationship.
He is agitated now and calls her back again to ask her to call him when she gets in so that he can explain himself. He gets cut off again.
He calls back again, and essentially gives a break-up speech about how they should not see each other anymore and it's not her it's him. In the middle of his speech, Nikki answers the call and tells Mike never to call her again.
Nothing visual really stands out. He is standing in front of his desk where is phone sits. The desk is in front of a window. The desk has on it, a small plant, a book (entited, Hollywood) a lamp, and of course the phone. On the right side of the desk is a hat rack, on the left side, what looks like an air conditioner with books stacked on it, and a black and white picture hanging on the wall. The only color that really stands out is the pot that the plant is in. It is red.
The music is intrumental jazz. I have no idea what song or by who.
***A couple interesting things stood out to me, but I don't think they have anything to do with the actual puzzle. I'll list them anyways.
First the number 6. Mike was with his ex-girfriend for 6 years. He has been broken up with her for 6 months. He called Nikki 6 times.
Also earlier in the movie Vince Vaughn's character (Trent) talks about auditioning for a role in a movie. The name of the role was simply "Brother."
If anyone has any questions, or suggestions about what else to look for, please let me know.

I dunno about Z could be from back to the future too....talking about a time window....not for sures just thought that I would throw it out there as a possibilityladron121 wrote:Just putting this out here, but I think I've got a couple:
p: should be Swingers, for the scene where Mike calls that girl's number
repeatedly the night he got it from her;
z: should be WarGames, the language used in the clue points toward a
military theme.
SCENE FOUND: GREMLINS - "They're going through changes. Many changes."
Scene Starts: 41:58
Scene Ends: 42:33
Synopsis:
The night before, the owner of the Mogwai's (I think his name's Billy?) fed the "evil" Mogwai's some chicken. Although he THOUGHT he followed the rules and fed them before midnight, those sneaky little Gremlins cut the cord to the clock radio making it appear to be 11:30pm.
As a result of feeding the Mogwai after midnight, Peter wakes up to find the Mogwai in cocoon stage, in the process of turning into Gremlins.
Here is the transcript of the scene:
(Billy takes the Gremlins a scientist to observe thier transformation. His friend [I don't know the character's name, but it's Cory Feldman!] comes along. )
In the begining of the scene, Cory Feldman is touching the membrane of the cocoon. It's very slimey and gross.
Cory Feldman: Yuccckk! What'd you say this way called, a putrid stage?
Scientist: Pupil. A pupil stage.
Cory Feldman: Like the butterfly?
Scientist: Yeah, right. Right. This is a, a cocoon. And inside it's going through changes. Many changes.
Cory Feldman: Like my mother?
Scientist: Uh, no. That's different. This is called a metamorphisis. It's a change in form, and in appearance.
End Scene.

Keep in mind that some of these aren't quotes, they can be scenes, or just things about the movie in general.
I posted on IMDB trying to get their collective movie-watching help:

C: 044004783521 The Game (1997)
Quote is: The county recorder has no listing for Consumer Recreation Service or any derivation thereof.
I am not watching The Game, but I read the script, and have seen it before.
Interesting Note: The premise of The Game is essentially a gigantic ARG, which Michael Douglas receives as a gift. The company that is the puppetmaster of these elaborate ARG's is called "Consumer Recreation Service."
HERE IS THE SCENE IN QUESTION (Based on the Script):
Preceding the Quote: Michael Douglas (Nicholas) gets in a taxi, after his car breaks down. The taxi speeds away, and suddenly Nicholas realizes that it is not going where he intended. He notices the doors and windows are locked, and he is seperated from the driver by a glass partition. This is part of the (arg) Game. The driver opens his door and rolls out of the moving car, just before the taxi goes flying into the San Francisco (significance?) Bay. Nicholas finally is able to crank the window open, and swims to the top where he sees a boat. On the boat, a woman gives him spare clothes (which fit him perfectly), and then she tries to seduce him. (Jonas??) She is gorgeous. This is also part of the game, the audience realizes. Nicholas is NOT interested, as he is fed up with this game.
Scene with the Quote: We cut to Nicholas meeting two police officers. He wants the game to stop, so he goes to the PM's offices. And...
" REVEAL: this huge room, once filled with cubicles far as the
eye could see, is now entirely EMPTY. Trash. Dust.
Fixtures jutting from the floor."
The office is destroyed. We cut back to Nicholas' office and here comes the quote...
FEMALE DETECTIVE
"Management for the building says that
space hasn't been officially rented
yet. The county recorder has no
listing for "Consumer Recreation
Services" or any derivation thereof.
No sign of the boat or the girl.
We're checking escort services, but
it's unlikely. Divers are looking
for the taxi, and soon as they find
it they'll pull the plates and V.I.N."
The Puppetmasters are clearly doing a good job of staying hidden. The remainder of the scene goes through basically a recap of what has already been done to Nicholas because of The Game, and how the police are dealing with it. Here is a snippet...
FEMALE DETECTIVE
The photos, gun, the clown, the
ambulance, cable box, everything
else... it's all pending.
(shuts notebook)
Breaking and entering we have, solid.
Malicious mischief, vandalism,
harassment. But, that's about all.
SUTHERLAND
Illegal surveillance, reckless
endangerment...
NICHOLAS
Attempted murder.
MALE DETECTIVE
Except... you said you hired these
people.
SUTHERLAND
That's irrelevant.
MALE DETECTIVE
It's our job to let you know what we
have. We haven't got motive.
Basically, this arg seeks its player, instead of the opposite. Michael Douglas is trying to contact the PM's, but they are gone. He's like
this sucks, man. What the Hell am I going to do. Thats aboot it. Hope this is was at all helpful.
EDIT: From Imdb.com
The Movie was apparently based on a REAL game. This real game is described as...
"The real Game is, more-or-less, a Ph.D. caliber scavenger hunt. It's also a team event. There is no prize money. Each team's entry fee is $25,000; limited to ten teams. All of the entry money is donated to charity. The game is actually supported by several wealthy benefactors, including Microsoft's 'Bill Gates' . Each team consists of one van full of players - usually four to six people. A series of clues, often in the form of puzzles, must be solved; each clue's answers lead to the next clue. Teams travel from clue to clue, until reaching the finish line. The winners typically take about 24 hours to finish. Often the clues are so intricate and choreographed that they approximate small theatrical productions, occasionally employing a dozen or more actors."
Sounds fun. Ok thats all for now.
Edit 2: Maybe helpful DROP Clues:
"The movie was filmed primarily in San Francisco, including Hotel Nikko and the Filoli Gardens *this is 25 miles south of SF* and House (Woodside)"
EDIT 3: I Don't know how I missed this! (Thanks blue), Directly after the tachyon quote is uttered:
MALE DETECTIVE
Have you gotten in touch with your
brother?
NICHOLAS
He hasn't called back.
I think blue is uploading audio, for some multimedia fun. Hope this helps

r: Shortly after the final shotgun.
2: 025192212123 Back to the Future- Trilogy, Widescreen (1985) 2 (1989) 3 (1990)
In Back to the Future 2, Marty goes into an alternate timeline. He confusedly steps onto the porch of the alternate timeline Mr. Strickland, who he recognizes as his high school principal. This Mr. Strickland doesn't recognize Marty, and has a shotgun.
At this point, some teens attempt a drive-by shooting on Mr. Strickland. He opens fire with the shotgun; after the last shotgun blast he yells "SLACKERS!" He then gives chase, and the song "I Can't Drive 55" by Sammy Hagar begins.
Could this puzzle also involve songs?

z: This last minute strategy makes sense as a failsafe, but why wouldn’t you give yourself an even better window to work within?
A: 027616705624 WarGames (1983)
The "last minute strategy" may be an allusion to how Broderick accesses WOPR's games list and has it play tic-tac-toe against itself until it learns that there are no "winners" in global thermonuclear war, thus saving the world from certain annihilation. This scene happens in the last few minutes of the film, but I don't have DVD info on which chapter it is or the exact time within the film.
Lightman:"Is there any way to make it play itself?"
Falken:"Number of players: zero"
WOPR: "Strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?"
Not sure about "wouldn't you give yourself an even better window to work within?" Perhaps just pointing out that the tic-tac-toe solution saves them with barely a second to spare. "Window" seems leading, though...
