Grosse Pointe Blank - A Humorous Take on Taking a Break
Dr. Oatman:
Go see some old friends. Drink some punch, visit with what's-her-name. Don't kill anybody for a few days; see what it feels like.
Martin Blank:
I'll give it a shot.
Dr. Oatman:
No, don't give it a shot! Don't shoot anything!

Grosse Pointe Blank - Confronting Truths in Professional Boundaries
Martin Blank:
Don't you think that maybe you're just upset because I told you what I do for a living, and you got upset and you're letting it interfere with our dynamic?
Dr. Oatman:
Whoa. Martin. You didn't tell me what you did for a living...
Martin Blank:
Yes, I did!
Dr. Oatman:
You didn't tell me what you did for a living for four sessions. Then you told me. And I said, "I don't want to work with you any more." And yet, you come back each week at the same time. That's a difficulty for me. On top of that, if you've committed a crime or you're thinking about committing a crime, I have to tell the authorities.
Martin Blank: [pause]
I know the law, okay? But I don't want to be withholding; I'm very serious about this process. And I know where you live.
Dr. Oatman:
Oh, now see? That wasn't a nice thing to say; that wasn't designed to make me feel good. That's a... kind of a... not too subtle intimidation, and I, uh, get filled with anxiety when you talk about something like that.
Martin Blank:
Come on, come on. I was just kidding, all right? The thought never crossed my mind.
Dr. Oatman:
You did think of it, Martin! You thought it, and then you said it. And now, I'm left with the aftermath of that, thinking I gotta be creative in a really interesting way or Martin's gonna blow my brains out! You're holding me hostage. That's not right.

Past about a hundred militia at the airport. That's right.

Edward Scissorhands - Discussion of Salon Plans with Edward
Bill:
So, Edward, did you have a productive day?
Edward:
Mrs. Monroe showed me where the salon's going to be. You could have a cosmetics counter.
Peg:
Wouldn't that be great?
Bill:
Great.
Edward:
And then she showed me the back room where she took all of her clothes off.
Bill: [without listening]
Edward, I can't tell you how thrilled I am, I'm just as pleased as punch. This whole beauty parlor venture is gonna teach you volumes and nothing like running your own business. I've never done it myself, but from what I gather it's the greatest satisfaction a working man can have.
