The Big Picture (1989)

Martin Short: Neil Sussman - Nick's Agent

Quotes 

• Neil Sussman : I don't know you. I don't know your work. But I think you are a genius. And I am never wrong about that.

• Neil Sussman : I'm very, very aware... that you are seeing other agents. And I think it's good that you are. Finally, I mean it's healthy. But, this is the thing. If you decide to sign with me, you're gonna get more than an agent. You're gonna get three people.

  [Holds up four fingers] 

  Neil Sussman : You're gonna get an agent, a mother, a father, a shoulder to cry on, someone who knows this business inside and out. And if anyone ever tries to cross you, I'll grab them by the balls and squeeze 'til they're dead.

• Neil Sussman : Mr. Sussman is my father and he lives in Miami Beach. It's Neil, please sit. My wife and I come here all the time and I'll tell you the gaucho steak is wonderful.

• Neil Sussman : Look Nick, I'm not gonna bullshit you, because it's a waste of time and then it becomes like that thing. Oh -- a huh huh huh -- I'm not talking to you. Huh huh huh. I'll call you. I'm very very aware that you are seeing other agents. And I think it's good that you are. I mean it's healthy. But this is the thing. If you decide to sign with me, you're going to get more than an agent. You're going to get three people. You're going to get an agent, a mother, a father, a shoulder to cry on, someone who knows this business inside and out. If anyone ever tries to cross you, I'll grab them by the balls and squeeze til they're dead.
