Desperation for a Moment of Attention
Pupkin
All I'm asking is fifteen minutes. That's all. Just long enough to listen to my act. Is that asking too much -- fifteen minutes of your day against my whole life?
Langford
I'll call the police if I have to... I have my own life, that's all.
Pupkin
But what about me, Jerry? What about my life? I made plans -- based on what you said. You can't just turn your back on me.
Langford
I'm not telling you again.
Pupkin
So this is the way it works when you're big, huh? You just play with people. Is that part of the kick, Jerry? I can see I was all wrong about you. All wrong.
Rita
Come on, Rupert.
Pupkin
Shut up! You weren't my friend at all, were you? You were just playing some kind of game with me. Well, that's not going to stop me, Jerry. I'm just going to work a little bit harder, that's all, use a little bit more enterprise. And not count on anybody. That's where I made my mistake. I can see that now.

The Nature of Social Interactions
Rita
What do these people do for fun? Do they party or do freaky things or just get drunk or ... I mean, what do they do?
Pupkin
I guess they just sit around and talk and enjoy each other's company, like anybody else.
Rita
Talk?!? What can you talk about for three or four hours?
Pupkin
What do you mean? They've got plenty to talk about. They do things. All kinds of interesting things happen to them and then they talk about them. What do you think Jerry's show is all about?
Rita
Yeah, a cocktail party with no drinks. That's what all those shows are. At least they help you get to sleep.

Aspiring Fame and Sacrifice in Comedy
Pupkin
Get that guy you knew from Clifton out of your head right now. You're looking at Rupert Pupkin, Rita. Rupert Pupkin, the new King of Comedy.
Rita
I'm sorry.
Pupkin
Why not me, Rita? A guy can always get what he wants if he's willing to pay the price. All it takes is a little talent and sacrifice and the right break. If you've got a friend in the right place, that's all it takes. And that's exactly what I have going for me right now. After all, crazier things have happened.
