David Burns: Oliver Burton
Quotes
-
George Welch : Now, um... may I speak frankly?
Oliver Burton : Go right ahead.
George Welch : Thank you. You know, I've been horse-trading across the desk like this for the last thirty years, and in all that time I don't think I've ever come across anyone quite as bad at it as you. You're just awful.
Oliver Burton : I beg your pardon.
George Welch : And let me give you a sample of frankness: Not only AREN'T you fully financed, Mr. Burton, but you're faced with having to get together a year's theater rent in advance. You foolishly... you foolishly mortgaged your home and you can't raise any more money, and if I were to wait another ten days I could pick up your theater for nothing and probably your house as well. That's frankness. Please, close your mouth, young man.
