Quotes
-
Pedro Mendoza : Hey Chuck, thanks for the financial advice! I'll be in touch.
Chuck Fishman : You've got my cellphone number, right?
[Gary gives him a disapproving look]
Chuck Fishman : What?
Gary Hobson : [Slaps Chuck on the shoulder with the newspaper] Financial advice... I knew you were up to something...
Chuck Fishman : What? I wasn't, I swear! I didn't even think about it until you brought it up just now!
Gary Hobson : You're never gonna change, aren't you?
Chuck Fishman : Look, just because I'm a kinder and gentler Chuck Fishman does not mean that I'm gonna let an opportunity that can benefit both parties sweep by...
Gary Hobson : [Sarcastically] Yeah, well.
Chuck Fishman : I mean, why would I want to do that? Life is about opportunity and taking advantage of it. Grab that bull by the horns and take what is rightfully yours.
Gary Hobson : You're unbelievable...
Chuck Fishman : Why?
Gary Hobson : You need to light up, pal... You know what? Why don't you come right up and admit it?
Chuck Fishman : [Both now stand in the line to enter Wrigley Field] Admit what?
Gary Hobson : Admit what? You're Chuck Fish...
[a group of children goes across the line and interrupts him]
Gary Hobson : Come on, kids... You're Chuck Fishman, you'll always be Chuck Fishman. You need to admit it, you're not gonna change...
Chuck Fishman : Okay fine Gary, if that can make you happy, I admit it!
Gary Hobson : Thank you!
Chuck Fishman : You're welcome.
Gary Hobson : Good!
Chuck Fishman : Good!
Gary Hobson : Alright!

Patrick Quinn : [Gary enters the McGynty's, all covered with paint and looking furious] Wow, Mr. Hobson!
Gary Hobson : Patrick, not a word!
Patrick Quinn : Look at yourself!
Gary Hobson : Patrick!
Marissa Clark : What's the matter?
Gary Hobson : Nothing's a matter... I just had a little... problem with a paint compressor 'til everything is fine!
Patrick Quinn : That's a really good look for you, Mr. Hobson!
Gary Hobson : [Coldly] Patrick, I'm covered with paint! What are you talking about?
Marissa Clark : I thought I smelt latex...
Patrick Quinn : [Enthusiastically] It's the Mummenschanz look!
[Seeing Gary's bewildered look]
Patrick Quinn : You know the Mummenschanz? The mime troup? They paint their bodies and do the box
[Starts mimicking "Mime stuck in a box" and mute talking. Then fakes opening a tiny window and talks audibly again]
Patrick Quinn : They were very popular in the late 80's among mime fans...
Gary Hobson : [Exasparated] Stop that!
Patrick Quinn : [Fakes closing the tiny window and starts gesturing as a mime again] Come on, everybody loves mime!
Marissa Clark : What is he doing?
Patrick Quinn : [Happily] I'm walking, see? Walking, walking, stopping, walking, walking...
Gary Hobson : [to Marissa] You know what? Some days, I really envy you.
Patrick Quinn : Now I'm running! I'm running! Now the ceiling's falling down ahhh!
[Miming being crushed by the ceiling. Gary gives a apprehensive look to the ceiling then shaking his head leaves the room]
Patrick Quinn : [Cheerfully to stone-faced Marissa] Now see? Mime just cheers everybody up!
