Hotel manager
Oh my God. What have you been doing in this room? I just had this room decorated. I'm calling the police.
Franklin Ford III
If you kick us out, I swear to God I'll sue your Goddamn hotel for a million dollars. I'll burn it to the ground!
James Hart
Look, I know that the piece of paper we signed down there allows you to kick us out. But if you do that, I'm going to go to the newspapers. And I'm going to tell them that we're a dope ring running through this hotel. Yeah, I'm going to tell them that, and you're not going to get any more business. Now shut up, and get out!

Professor Kingsfield
Mr. Hart, here's a dime. Call your mother, and tell her there is serious doubt about you becoming a lawyer.
James Hart
You... are a SON OF A BITCH, Kingsfield.
[pause, as he is leaving the room]
Professor Kingsfield
Mr. Hart! That is the most intelligent thing you've said today. You may take your seat.
