John: I'd be happy to take a whack at you. Poughki... poughki... poughki... eh, take a whack at it. Cassandra: Are you a good lover? Poughki... poughki... poughki... lawyer? Forgive me, I, uh... my sense of humor's a little naughty. Are you a good lawyer? John: I'm very good. Cassandra: Well, then, I'd love you to take a whack at... it.
John: I don't think we maximize our potential by taking our clothes off.

Richard: When they have trials in Los Angeles don't they just beat you up and send you to Mexico? John: That's just the aliens.

Ally: No, no, no, wait, wait, wait... you can't just name me senior partner and then rush out of the room. Richard: Oh, John told me to. He said, "If you name Ally senior partner, be prepared to rush out of the room."
Richard: We're going on vacation. John: To California? Richard: Oh no, not just California. That little mecca that's aberrant enough for you and superficial enough for me. John: You mean...? Richard: I do. We're going to L.A.
Richard: Hey, buddy. John: Hello, Richard. Richard: You sound like Eeyore, the donkey. John: Well, perhaps that's the essence of our friendship. I sound like an ass and you act like one.
