"There's all this medical equipment in our apartment-- his machines." "The nurse said that I could sell them on craig's list, but I just don't know what they're worth." "Do you know what kind of machines they are?" "I'm not sure.I'd need someone to tell me." "Do you think maybe you could take a look?" "Lila..." "Look,I know I acted inappropriately before."

"But he's started his surgical rotation." "He's doing these endless shifts.He's very sleep-deprived." "I really understand,but I don't think it's just that." "What do you mean?" "Let's be honest Men are sensitive." "They don't like to be dragged anywhere." "We may not like it,but we know how to play second fiddle." "We're bred for it." "Men can't do it." "At least,not the ones worth sharing a bed with." "Ellen,we got to go.I got work." "Biscotti?" "And then she's got to bring up katie?" "Because patty's concerned about her." "Bullshit." "David,you were acting like you didn't want to be there long before patty mentioned katie." "Because I didn'T." "Yeah,you made that perfectly clear." "I'm so sorry if I'm not interested in international arbitrage." "Phil was just trying to make conversation." "And when patty asked you about the hospital..." "I answered her question."

"Uh,you know, on tv in hospitals when they put the paddles on people's chest and yell,clear?" "Oh,right." "That's what that is." "Um,did my grandfather ever tell you that he was a medic in world war ii?" "No." "Did he go to med school?" "He was a butcher." "I guess that qualified him." "check it out." "Is that a bullet?" "From iwo jima.Made a movie about it,actually." "My,uh,grandfather got shot in the leg, and he got this as a reminder." "Of what?" "Well,life is short.He had it inscribed." "Words to live by."

" What?" " What,are we friends now?" "Look,I'm only here because I'm sick of these assholes,and i want it to stop." "Tell me who ordered you to set up katie and maybe it will." "Who was it,gregory?" "Do you understand the risk I'm taking talking to you right now?" "I can protect you." "Like you protected katie?" "Give me a break." "This isn't safe.I shouldn't be here." "Wait." "Gregory,just give me a name,okay?" "Was frobisher's broker in the car?" "Forget about him.It's not about the broker." "What do you mean?" "It's more..." "Gregory!" "Shit." "If this is bad news,I don't want to hear it." "They're talking to the kid." "It was only a matter of time." "He has been prepped,hasn't he?" "Of course." "So what's the problem?" "The problem is gregory's conscience." "You..." "I don't want to hear this shit right now." "We need a new strategy,arthur." "So find one." "You guys said that you were going to handle this." "Look,this wasn't my mess.It was his." "I don't care whose mess it is.Just deal with it.Jesus." "You know,next time you call me,make sure it's for good news.****" "Gregory said what?" "He said,forget about the broker." "What does that mean?" "I don't know.I think he wanted to say more,but he seemed spooked." "We have to bring him in." "Tom,draft the subpoena." "You got it." "What,ellen?" "We know what frobisher did to katie's dog." "Yes." "So is there anything we can do to protect gregory?" "Want a game of horse?" "All right." "You first." "I talked about you all yesterday afternoon." "I'm writing a book,you know?" "Yeah,mom told me." "I used to be able to dunk this sucker." "Yeah,you always say that." "Yeah,I told him the story about our camping trip.You remember that?" "You got all scared 'cause you thought the jabberwocky was hiding behind a tree, but you got all mixed up and you started screaming,liberace's behind a tree!" "I was six." "Yeah,you were." "Hey,look,I know being my son these days,you're catching a lot of grief." "I don't listen to that crap." "That shit they're saying about me, someday,soon,they're going to eat that." "Then we'll just be,you know,a normal family again." "I believe you,dad." "Doesn't mean you're any good at this game,though." "Look at that.You're not bending your legs." "You got to go from your knees,right,knees,elbow,follow through." " Hey." " Hey." "Mr.Frobisher." "I know.I know.I know.It's late." "Yeah,look,I'm not expecting you right now." "I know you weren'T.I'm sorry,george." " This is nice.Very nice." " Thank you." "I'm arthur frobisher." "That's my girlfriend,indira." "Ah,that's nice." "actually,look,I had some thoughts,you know?"

"Varsity-- that's the first time I realized that I was a natural leader." "Yeah,you know,all this stuff that you're giving me is great." "But this book..." "This shirt,right?" "The shirt you're wearing?" "You own other shirts,right?" "So,you know,if I come along and say,you know, define you as the guy who wears this shirt,I'd be wrong,right?" "'Cause...you know,you're not just one thing." "See,that's what I'm trying to say You're not just one thing." "Hey,I told you,right,that i started off dirt-poor?" "You told me yesterday about that."

"It'S...it's hard to describe." "Just tell me what it's about,will ya?" "On the face of it,it's a love story." "It's about nostalgia and how that affects our core relationship." "Jesus,george.I mean that sounds like crap." "Are you kidding me?" "Look what you're doing here." "I mean,you're living on...you're sleeping on a futon." "Come on.You know... of course you're writing about my life." "You don't have one,you know?" "And you're screwing the immigrant because what..." "Excuse me?" " You-you appreciate their culture?" " Excuse me?" "Is that what you say to yourself?" "The truth is you're just trying to feel superior." "Try running a $40 billion industry.See how that makes you feel." "Get out!" "Yeah,try managing 11,000 employees." "I bet that gives you a hard-on,you little..." "Just leave!" "Shit!" "You want to know why they're suing me,you invisible piece of shit?" "'Cause I'm worth it."

"A man should want to be in charge." "Now the trick is... making him feel like he actually is." "Is that why phil did all the talking at dinner?" "Yeah,he likes to hold court." "What?" "I didn't tell david I met with gregory." "Really?" "I guess I didn't want him to worry." "Ellen,most men can't handle an ambitious woman."

"Ooh,that sucks." "Yeah,I had them in my jacket pocket.I don't know if they fell out at your place." "No,no.I would've seen them.I'll take another look." "Uh,anyway,give me a call if you find them,okay?" " Yeah,no problem." " Thanks." "Who was that?" "How you feeling,grandpa?" "Like a hundred bucks." "I'm going out,I'll see you later." "To tell the truth,I'm not really sure what to expect, but mr.Frobisher sings your praises." "Oh,sleep therapy is more of an art than a science." "Well,I can't sleep... and when I do,I have nightmares." "What's the nature of your dreams?" "In one,my teeth fall out." "It's pretty common." "It's thought to signify..." "Insecurity... anxiety-- I know." "Well,that's one interpretation,but it can also signify... a secret you're keeping." "More specifically,your overwhelming fear that people will find it out." "What?" "What's going on,mr.Fiske?" "Tell me." "Let it out." "Remember me?" "From the other night?" "Of course,I remember you." "I came to see if you were okay." "I wanted to give you my number." "Yeah?" "Your boy-- gregory malina?" "Yes?" "He's in danger." "What happened?" "You don't need to know." "And if I want to subpoena him?" "Better do it quick." "I need to talk to you." "You can't be here."

"No." "No,I lost my keys and the door was open." "I guess I forgot to lock it." "Right." "Are you going to get in?" "What's the special occasion?" "I miss you." "Look..." "I'm not proud of it,but it's what david wanted." "And last night,where were you?" "Here,at home.Why aren't you talking to ellen parsons?" "Why should we?" "Because she's crazy...and jealous." "This is ellen parsons." "Stay away from my fiance or I swear to god,I will come after you." "You called david six times yesterday." "About the apartment.We were making arrangements."
