• Jack : Dennis, I see this magazine as my castle, and you are, for lack of a better word, my gargoyle.

• Jack : People don't respect me because I'm the boss. It's getting respect that's made me the boss.

  Dennis : Ah, I see.

  [moves away a bottle of scotch] 

  Dennis : No more for you.

• [Elliot has a zit on his nose] 

  Maya : Whoa, Krakatoa!

  Elliot : It's just a little blemish.

  Jack : It's like an escape hatch for your brain.

  Nina : [just coming in]  So sorry about your pimple, Elliot.

  Elliot : How did you know?

  Nina : I saw it as you got out of the cab. I mean, we're only nineteen floors up.

• Jack : Maya, what's more important to a bird? That it has wings or that it has the confidence to fly?

  Maya : Uh... Wings?

  Jack : Wrong. Witness the penguin, a flightless bird. Do you know why penguins can't fly?

  Maya : Because its wings can't support its body mass?

  Jack : Maya, there was a time when penguins filled the sky, until the day their confidence was shattered, and they never flew again.

  Maya : Ah, I see.

  [takes away scotch bottle] 

  Maya : No more for you.
