Thank You for Smoking - The Burden of Representation in Politics
Ron Goode:
You wanted to see me sir.
Senator Ortolan Finisterre:
Have a seat, Ron.
Senator Ortolan Finisterre:
You see, Ron, I can't be everywhere I'm needed. That's why I send people like you to speak on my behalf. When you're there, you're not Ron Goode, a guy whom your friends probably like, you're Senator Finisterre's aide and your name really doesn't matter. So when Ron Goode acts like a complete asshole on The Joan Lunden Show, I'm being an asshole on The Joan Lunden Show.
Ron Goode:
Senator, sir, he sprang on me like....
Senator Ortolan Finisterre:
Where in the hell did you find Cancer Boy?
Ron Goode:
He was supposed to be quite reliable the Pulmonary Council was one of his references.
Senator Ortolan Finisterre:
Fucking non-profits! When you're looking for a cancer kid, he should be hopeless. He should have a wheelchair, he should have trouble talking, he should have a little pet goldfish in a Zip-lock bag, hopeless.
Ron Goode:
I apologize, sir, but if it wasn't for Nick Naylor-
Senator Ortolan Finisterre:
Nick Naylor? Don't you even think of using him as an excuse! The man shills bullshit for a living. You work for a fucking senator! A senator who's supposed to be tough on tobacco. Have a little... pride, for God's sake!

High Fidelity - Debate on Songs About Death
Barry:
Top 5 songs about death. A Laura's Dad tribute list, okay? Okay. Leader of the Pack. The guy beefs it on his motorcycle and dies, right? Dead Man's Curve. Jan & Dean.
Dick:
Do you know that right after they recorded that song Jan himself crashed his car...
Barry:
It was Dean you idiot...
Rob:
It was Jan. It was a long time after the song.
Barry:
Okay, whatever. Tell Laura I Love Her. That would bring the house down - Laura's Mom could sing it. You know what I'd want? One Step Beyond by Madness. And, uh, You Can't Always Get What You Want.
Dick:
No. Immediate disqualification because of its involvement with The Big Chill.
Barry:
Oh God. You're right!
Dick:
Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald - Gordon Lightfoot.
Barry:
You bastard! That's so good - that should have been mine... The night Laura's daddy died. Sha na na na na na na na na! Brother what a night it really was. Mother what a night it really... angina's tough! Glory be!

Scent of a Woman - Discussion on Vacation Plans and Pronunciation
Harry Havemayer:
We got a deal going, kid- 20% off for my friends; my father set it up. Christmas in Switzerland?
Trent Potter:
Staad.
Harry Havemayer:
Gstaad; dropping the G is phony.
Trent:
But you just said everybody says Staad!
Harry:
Not if you've been there. Easter in Burmuda? Think a Kentucky Derby week- we could fit you in, kid.
Charlie Simms:
Uh, how much are these, white-bosomed slopes of Vermont?
Harry:
Twelve-hundred. Includes a nine-course, champagne Thanksgiving dinner.
Charlie:
Twelve hundred dollars is a little rich for my blood, Harry.
Harry:
How short are you?
Charlie: [''Leaves'']
Short, Harry? So short it wouldn't be worth the trouble for you and George to measure. But, uh, thanks for asking, all right?
Harry:
If you change your mind...
George Willis Jr.:
What'd you do that for? You know he's on aid.
Harry: [smug]
On major holidays, Willis, it's customary for the lord of the manor to offer drippings to the poor.
George: [laughs]
You're so full of shit.
