Daniel Schorr:
Discovering the object of the game *is* the object of the game.

[Nicholas van Orten loses a shoe when climbing a fire-escape ladder]
Nicholas:
There goes a thousand dollars.
Christine:
Your shoes cost a thousand dollars?
Nicholas:
That one did.
|
|
[In a fancy restaurant]
Conrad:
I've been here before.
Nicholas:
I took you here for your birthday.
Conrad:
No, I used to buy crystal meth from the Maitre D.
|
|
Conrad:
They *** you and *** you and *** you, and just when you think it's over, that's when the real ***ing begins!
|
|
Nicholas:
I'm being toyed with by a bunch of depraved children
|
|
Jim Feingold:
The game is tailored specifically to each participant. Think of it as a great vacation, except you don't go to it, it comes to you.
|
|
Jim Feingold:
We're like an experiential Book-of-the-Month Club.
|
|
Nicholas:
I don't care about the money. I'm pulling back the curtain. I want to meet the wizard.
|
|
Conrad:
This is for you.
Nicholas:
You shouldn't have.
Conrad:
What do you get for the man who has... everything?
Nicholas:
[reading card] "Consumer Recreation Services." Well, I do have golf clubs.
Conrad:
Call that number.
Nicholas:
Why?
Conrad:
Make your life... fun.
Nicholas:
Fun.
Conrad:
You know what that is... uh, you've seen other people have it.
|
|
Nicholas:
Did I have a choice? Did I have a choice?
|
|
Conrad:
They won't leave me alone! I'm a goddam human piñata!
|
|
Nicholas:
No, what is this? What are you... selling?
Jim Feingold:
Oh. It's a game.
|
|
New Member Ted:
This was the best one *ever*!
Jim Feingold:
[shakes Nicholas's hand] You know, thank God you jumped, because if you didn't, I was supposed to throw you off!
|
|
Samuel Sutherland:
[Nicholas is making rounds at his birthday party] Nicholas, I haven't a *clue* what's going on, but your taste in champagne is excellent, as always.
Anson Baer:
It was a *great* entrance!
|
|
Nicholas:
What's that?
Conrad:
[signs document] This... is... the bill.
Nicholas:
Do you want to split it?
Conrad:
[exhales] Oh God yes! I'll take some of that...
[shows Nicholas enormous number at bottom of receipt]
Nicholas:
[shocked look] Oh my God...
|
|
Nicholas:
And you really believe that just because you publish children's books, people are going to care about my reputation? You can have pictures of me wearing nipple rings, butt-***ing Captain Kangaroo. The only thing they care about is the stock and whether that stock is up or down!
|
|
Daniel Schorr:
[on TV] There's a tiny camera looking at you right now.
Nicholas:
That's impossible.
Daniel Schorr:
You're right, impossible. You're having a conversation with your television.
|
|
Nicholas:
[In the stopped elevator] I'll give you a boost.
Christine:
You first.
Nicholas:
This isn't an attempt to be gallant. If I don't lift you, how are you going to get there?
Christine:
You pull me up.
Nicholas:
It's much easier this way. Come on, step up...
Christine:
No.
Nicholas:
Please...
Christine:
I'm not wearing underwear. Okay? There, I said it. Satisfied?
Nicholas:
[Looks at her skirt] Oh. Fine.
