Quotes
-
Donald D'Arby : Uh, pardon me, but I've found that before you find a buyer you generally have to find something for them to buy, Jack.
Jack Larkin : Tips like that make you indispensable, Donald.
-
Jack Larkin : Nice try at aggression back there, Donald.
Donald D'Arby : I guess you have something to teach me about lying, as well?
-
Ayn Krywarik : Guess no one's ever accused you of being too soft a sell.
Jack Larkin : Frankly, you don't strike me as the soft-sell type.
-
Jack Larkin : How about some eight ball?
Ayn Krywarik : Friendly game?
Jack Larkin : No, no, no, no. Friendly wager.
-
Jack Larkin : Same time tomorrow?
Ayn Krywarik : Why not right now?
Jack Larkin : No, no, no, no. You've had a couple drinks. I wouldn't want to take advantage.
Ayn Krywarik : But I'm better after a couple drinks.
Jack Larkin : Then I wouldn't want you to take advantage. Tomorrow night.
-
Ayn Krywarik : See, all I could find out about you was that you spent two years in reform school for a B&E.
Jack Larkin : Those records are supposed to be sealed.
Ayn Krywarik : No shit.
-
Adam Cunningham : Are you people putting on a show?
Jack Larkin : They're working up the Navadyne pitch.
Adam Cunningham : Didn't know theatre companies required navigation systems.
-
Jack Larkin : Did I miss something?
Ayn Krywarik : No, I don't think you missed a thing. Listen, I only have a couple of rules in my life, but I try to live by them very strictly. I do not get up from my seat until the aircraft has come to a complete stop. I do not mix business with any other form of entertainment. Some people can do it, and I'm not one of them.
Jack Larkin : Fair enough. But when the deal's over, I may want to renegotiate.

Jack Larkin : No. Jane Lansing! Hold Your Horses. 1958. Tony award winning performance. Hunh? She was incredible, wasn't she?
[To Ayn]
Jack Larkin : Why didn't you tell me he was into Broadway? So what do you think? Should we go ahead with this?
-
Jack Larkin : That's my motto: when all else fails, try to get lucky.
-
Ayn Krywarik : This aircraft has not come to a complete stop.
Jack Larkin : Boy, this better be a good deal.
