Sally: Do you care about me, Alan?
Alan: I care a great deal for you. That's why I'm gonna give you some very sound advice. Run.
Sally: What?
Alan: This is a bad business. It is an often filthy, dehumanizing, mean-spirited job. I assure you I take no pleasure in it. It just comes easily to me. But... you... are not that way. So I suggest you think long and hard about whether you really wanna wake up every morning, with all the promise that morning conveys, and come here. Which I say to you... only because I care.
Sally: You are such a liar, pretending that this stuff doesn't affect you. That you can just brush it off.
Alan: I'm afraid I can. (edit)
Denny: Sally that was not a pleasant meeting. Typically when associates are unhappy, I give them a hug.
Sally: I don’t want a hug Mr. Crane.
Denny: Okay. May I have one? (edit)
Warren: That’s it? Two questions. That was your cross?
Lori: I didn’t have much to cross him with Warren.
Warren: Then what was the point of your questions? Tell me that.
Lori: I was trying to establish that you were coerced. The judge doesn’t shock easily but maybe the jury does.
Warren: Oh I see; you were going for shock value. Well maybe you could’ve really gone for it and asked three questions. (edit)
Brad: Feel free to mock me all you want but don’t you dare ridicule our troops.
Alan: Just so I’m clear, I should feel free to mock you. (edit)
