Marcia Stanislavsky : Darling, I'm sorry, I love you just the way you are.
Peter Stanislavsky : Oh, I don't know, I think maybe it is better for you, oh, a waiter, I'll probably always be a waiter.
Marcia Stanislavsky : Don't say that. Smile. Come on, smile for the pretty lady. Ha-ha-ha. Hold me, Peter. Tight. Tighter. Mmmm.
Peter Stanislavsky : When you are like this,
Marcia Stanislavsky : You're marvelous.

Cedric Van Dorn : I'm very busy. What can I do for you?
Peter Stanislavsky : Mr. Van Dorn, I have a proposition.
Cedric Van Dorn : I'm not interested in any proposition from you, Mr. Stanislavsky.
Peter Stanislavsky : There is money in it, for you. Lots of it.
Cedric Van Dorn : Won't you sit down.

Cedric Van Dorn : You're just a faker, the world knows it.
Peter Stanislavsky : And what would you call yourself?
Cedric Van Dorn : Haven't you read my book?
Peter Stanislavsky : No, thanks. I have my own.
Cedric Van Dorn : Yours was written by Speed McCann.
Peter Stanislavsky : So was yours.
Cedric Van Dorn : But you were only a waiter.
Peter Stanislavsky : And you were only the Cherokee Indian that went around with the traveling medicine salesman.
Cedric Van Dorn : Yes sir. But, I ultimately became promoted to salesman.
Peter Stanislavsky : Well, if you ask me, being a bridge expert is a step down from being a fake Cherokee Indian.
Cedric Van Dorn : Between you and me, I preferred to be an Indian. You didn't have to have so much sex appeal.
