  Lloyd Dobler : [Stops walking, stands in front of Diane]  Wait, wait... You told her about me?

  Jim Court : [Walks by the adjacent hall, Sees to the two and continues walking]

• IRS Agent Stewart : Your income, Mr Court, hasn't changed substantially in 17 years.

  Jim Court : That's right.

  IRS Agent Stewart : Why would you stay so long with an operation that is so clearly not a growth enterprise?
