Two for the Road - Perceptions of American Women in Relationships
Mark Wallace:
I always thought American women would be different. I thought in America they'd broken the inhibitions barrier and it was all one long sex feast.

Mark Wallace: [to Joanna]
Come on, baby.
Howard Manchester:
Well that, if I may say so, is a very revealing usage. Calling her baby, at this point, shows you're prepared to do her thinking and her deciding for her. Now I warn you solemnly, Marcus. You're denying Joanna the right to be her own paradoxical self.

Erin Brockovich - Trust and Value in Professional Relationships
Ed Masry: [giving Erin her bonus check]
It's not exactly what we discussed.
Erin Brockovich:
You know why everyone thinks that all lawyers are back stabbing, blood sucking scum bags? Cause they are! And I can not believe you expect me to go out, leave my kids with strangers and get people to trust you with THEIR lives while all the while you're screwing me! You know, Ed, it's not about the number! It's about the way my work is valued in this firm...
Ed Masry:
Like I was saying, I thought that the number you proposed was inappropriate, so I increased it.
Ed Masry:
Do they teach beauty queens to apologize? Because you sure suck at it!

Uh, Ed... Uh... thank you...

Erin Brockovich - The Value of Lives Over Money
Ms. Sanchez:
Let's be honest here. $20 million dollars is more money then these people have ever dreamed of.
Erin Brockovich:
Oh see, now that pisses me off. First of all, since the demur we have more than 400 plaintiffs and... let's be honest, we all know there are more out there. They may not be the most sophisticated people but they do know how to divide and $20 million isn't shit when you split it between them. Second of all, these people don't dream about being rich. They dream about being able to watch their kids swim in a pool without worrying that they'll have to have a hysterectomy at the age of twenty. Like Rosa Diaz, a client of ours. Or have their spine deteriorate, like Stan Blume, another client of ours. So before you come back here with another lame ass offer, I want you to think real hard about what your spine is worth, Mr. Walker. Or what you might expect someone to pay you for your uterus, Ms. Sanchez. Then you take out your calculator and you multiply that number by a hundred. Anything less than that is a waste of our time.
Erin Brockovich:
By the way, we had that water brought in special for you folks. Came from a well in Hinkley.
Ms. Sanchez: [''Eyes the water warily and sets the glass back down'']
I think this meeting is over.
Ed Masry:
Damn right it is.

Ed Masry:
This is a whole different ball game. A much bigger deal.
Erin Brockovich:
Kind of like David and whats-his-name.
Ed Masry: [sighs]
Kind of like David and whats-his-name's whole fucking family. Okay, here's the deal: If, and only if, you find all the evidence to back this up, I'll do it, I'll take it on.
Erin Brockovich:
You're doing the right thing, Mr. Masry.
Ed Masry:
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Remind me of that when I'm filing for bankruptcy.

Erin Brockovich - Fashion Choices in the Workplace
Ed Masry:
