• Frenchy : [on her company's expansion]  That's right, yeah. We've been planning it for months. Yeah?

  Frenchy's Lawyer : In order to do that, you needed a bank loan. Are you aware of that? Quite a substantial loan.

  Frenchy : Get to the point. What?

  Frenchy's Lawyer : They asked you to sign a promissory note to the bank.

  Frenchy : You're speaking to the wrong person. This is exactly what I got accountants for.

  Frenchy's Lawyer : Yes, but unfortunately, your accountants are in Venezuela.

  Frenchy : This is all so confusing!

  Frenchy's Lawyer : Frances, you put up your home and savings as a note for a monster loan.

  Frenchy : [pauses, then holds out her whiskey glass]  Could you put a touch of cyanide in here? It needs to be a little stronger.

• Frenchy's Lawyer : You've lost it all, Frenchy. Or should I say, you've been swindled out of it all.

  Frenchy : You mean I got...?

  Frenchy's Lawyer : Nothing, Mrs. Winkler. You have nothing. No... no house, no bank account, just a couple of large, outstanding loans which we feel you can best deal with by filing for bankruptcy.

  Frenchy : Bankruptcy? Bankruptcy? I'm not up to the B-words yet!
