    • Quotes

      Rich Rinaldi: Here, take this pen and write down today's date. Because from this day fourth, you will amount to nothing. You are failure and a loser! You deserve to get what's coming...

      Pacey Witter: Stop calling me a loser! Don't you ever call me a loser!

      Rich Rinaldi: [taunting] Oh, what are you gonna do about it... loser? Loser! Loser...

      [Pacey punches Rich, and attacks him, but stops seconds later looking disgusted at himself and realizing, way too late, that Rich just provoked Pacey into assaulting him to justify firing him]

      Rich Rinaldi: Don't worry, it's over. You're through. You're fired. You're finished. You'll never work in this company, in this town... or in this state again! Why do you look so down? This is what you wanted all along, right? Loser!

      [looking down at the floor and ashamed at how he fell right into Rich's ploy, Pacey sorrowly walks out]
