Nicholas Van Orton
- Nicholas: So, you've played recently?
- New Member Ted: Oh, about a year ago. I was working in Los Angeles.
- Nicholas: I hear the London office is very good, too. It just sounds like a lot of fantasy, role-playing nonsense.
- New Member Ted: [leans in] You wanna know what it is? What it's all about?
- [Nicholas leans closer]
- New Member Ted: John 9:25.
- Nicholas: I... haven't been to Sunday school in a long time.
- New Member Ted: 'Whereas once I was blind, now I can see.'
- [rises]
- New Member Ted: Good night, Nicholas. Best of luck.
- Nicholas: Good night.
- 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: [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.
- Nicholas: You don't know anything about society, Marie; you don't have the satisfaction of avoiding it.
- 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: 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-fucking Captain Kangaroo. The only thing they care about is the stock and whether that stock is up or down!
