  • J.H. Kilbourne: You know what she wants to do with that land, Mr. Harper? She wants to turn it into a Goddam sanctuary for birds!
  • Lew Harper: I think that's kind of sweet.
  • J.H. Kilbourne: Well now, look, I'm all for saving wildlife like the next fella, but we gotta think about America's future. Energy sources just aren't that easy to come by.
  • Lew Harper: Aha! Did you come to that conclusion out of patriotism or just greed?
  • J.H. Kilbourne: [after a pause] Little of both, Mr Harper, - like most men of wealth.
  • J.H. Kilbourne: I ran a check on you, Mr. Harper. You are not stupid.
  • Lew Harper: I have my moments.
  • J.H. Kilbourne: You wanna live, don't you? To a ripe old age?
  • Lew Harper: I'd hate to think that I was making those Social Security payments for nothing.
  • J.H. Kilbourne: You see, I'm not like most folks who get their kicks head on, I sort of slide in sideways like. As a matter of fact in High School they used to call me the crab.
  • Lew Harper: Oh.
  • J.H. Kilbourne: Now you take the oil businesss, my business, it's never any fun to drill straight down. I'm a slant driller by instinct.
  • Lew Harper: Are you slant-drilling me?
  • J.H. Kilbourne: Mavis, wanna go for a walk?
  • Mavis: How long a walk, darling?
  • J.H. Kilbourne: Why, I don't know, May-may. Average, just average.
  • [repeated line]
  • J.H. Kilbourne: Outstanding!
  • J.H. Kilbourne: You remember what I told you Mr Harper, about my crab-like ways.
  • J.H. Kilbourne: It turns out, through some incredible good fortune, I got a whole lotta embarrassin' material - the visual kind - that could be used regarding James' unorthodox sexual persuasions.
  • Lew Harper: There are some people who think that I work for you.
  • J.H. Kilbourne: They've been reading' my mind. Cause that's just exactly what I want you to do - work for me.
  • Lew Harper: I don't think I could get used to it.
  • J.H. Kilbourne: I think you'd learn to enjoy it.
  • [wink]
  • J.H. Kilbourne: Outstanding. A man who knows his liquor.
  • J.H. Kilbourne: You better do like I say. Because I hold *all* the aces.
