Sy Parrish:
According to The Oxford English Dictionary, the word "snapshot" was originally a hunting term.
|
|
Sy Parrish:
Pretend it's all pretend.
|
|
Sy Parrish:
And if these pictures have anything important to say to future generations, it's this: I was here. I existed. I was young, I was happy, and someone cared enough about me in this world to take my picture.
|
|
Sy Parrish:
Nobody takes a picture of something they want to forget.
|
|
Bill Owens:
Sy, there's a 1000 other places where you can do your photos. There's no reason to come all the way down other than to *** with me.
Sy Parrish:
There's a very good reason. I calibrated that machine personally. It's the best mini-lab in the state.

Sy Parrish:
What the hell is wrong with these people?
|
|
[Quoting Deepak Chopra]
Sy Parrish:
The things you're most afraid of have already happened.
|
|
Sy Parrish:
All I did was take pictures...
|
|
Sy Parrish:
Am I talking to a brick wall? Did I tell you to touch her? If you touch her again; I stab you in the heart!

Jake Yorkin:
When someone seems sad and don't have any friends, it makes me feel bad for them.
Nina Yorkin:
Who is sad and doesn't have any friends?
Jake Yorkin:
Sy!
Nina Yorkin:
The Photo Guy at the one hour place? Well, we really don't know that much about him do we. He might even have a lot of friends. He probably has a girlfriend and a mommy and daddy, who love him.
Jake Yorkin:
I don't think he does.
|
|
Nina Yorkin:
You've been doing my pictures for a long time.
Sy Parrish:
I almost feel like "Uncle Sy!"
|
|
Sy Parrish:
Most people don't take snapshots of the little things. The used Band-Aid, the guy at the gas station, the wasp on the Jell-O. But these are the things that make up the true picture of our lives. People don't take pictures of these things.

Sy Parrish:
Family photos depict smiling faces.
|
|
Sy Parrish:
When people's houses are on fire, what's the first thing they save after their pets and loved ones are saved?
Sy Parrish:
Their family photos.
|
|
Sy Parrish:
New parents go photo crazy.
|
|
Sy Parrish:
The shutter is clicked. The flash goes off and they've stopped time, as if just for the blink of an eye.
|
|
Bill Owens:
Look, Sy, I got a family. I'm not losing my job over this. I'm letting you go.
Sy Parrish:
No. Ohhh...
Bill Owens:
These log discrepancies would be enough, but you've been spacing out on the job, taking 90-minute lunch breaks, creating scenes in front of the customers... giving away free merchandise.
Sy Parrish:
What?
Bill Owens:
Free disposable cameras to customers on their birthday? That must have been your bright idea. Sure as***isn't company policy.
Sy Parrish:
You can't do this.
Bill Owens:
It's done, Sy. I talked to Sims at district. Now you finish out the week and clear out your locker. And if you do something like *** up today's prints...
Sy Parrish:
I haven't ***ed up a customer's prints in 11 years!

Bill Owens:
If you haven't noticed, this isn't Neiman Marcus. People just wanna come in here with their kids, have a good time, and save a few pennies on paper towels and socks. If they wanted to see yelling and screaming, they'd stay at home.
|
|
Sy Parrish:
Now, put his thing in your mouth.
|
|
Nina Yorkin:
I know he's ***ing Maya Burson. I don't give a***about that right now, I just need you to tell me where he is!
|
|
Detective James Van Der Zee:
How did he react?
Bill Owens:
I fire a lot of people, and most get pretty upset. And he got pretty upset. Surely you're taking this seriously?
Detective James Van Der Zee:
Yes - we take it VERY seriously.

Will Yorkin:
How - How do you think we pay for all this?
Nina Yorkin:
I'm just asking you. What do you think...
Will Yorkin:
there's a money fairy that comes and slips an envelope under my pillow every month?
Nina Yorkin:
What are you even talkin' about?
Will Yorkin:
Well - Well, how - All of this stuff... the new Mercedes, the matching washer and dryer... the ***ing Jil Sander blouse you have on now - how? I love you, Nina. I do... but if you continually want our life to look like something out of a magazine, I'm sorry. I've gotta work to make that happen.
Nina Yorkin:
Do you even believe what you're saying, huh? This is not about things, Will... and it's not about money. You're neglectful. Do you understand that?
Will Yorkin:
What?
Nina Yorkin:
You are an emotionally neglectful husband... and you're an emotionally neglectful father. Got it now?
Will Yorkin:
That's just ***in' great. Neglectful?
Nina Yorkin:
You're not here, Will. You're not here. You're never here. I'm going to bed.
