• Misrell : We have now been here thirty-four minutes, Mr. Williams.

  Gart Williams : This is a communication from Jake Ross.

  Misrell : Would you be so kind as to share its contents with us?

  Gart Williams : I can give you the sense of it very quickly, Mr. Misrell. This is Jake Ross's resignation. He's moving over to another agency.

  Misrell : And...?

  Gart Williams : And he's taking the automobile account with him.

  Misrell : That account represented a gross billing of something in the neighborhood of three million dollars a year! And how many times have you promised it to me?

  Gart Williams : This is as much a shock to me as it is to you, Mr. Misrell.

  Misrell : Don't sit down! And don't con me, Williams. It was your pet project. Your pet project! Then it was your idea to give it to that little college greenie. Now, get with it, Williams! Get with it, boy! So what's left, Williams? Not only has your pet project backfired, but it's sprouted wings and left the premises. I'll tell you what's left to us in my view. A deep and abiding concern about your judgment in men. This is a push business, Williams. A push push push business. Push and drive! But personally, you don't delegate responsibilities to little boys. You should know it better than anyone else. A push push push business, Williams. It's push push push, all the way, all the time! It's push push push, all the way, all the time, right on down the line!

  Gart Williams : Fat boy, why don't you shut your mouth!
