Dialogue

 * Nadia Gates: [inspects painting] Oh! This looks Japanese. "Master and Concubines"?
 * Walter Davis: It's Yakamoto!
 * Nadia Gates: What is?
 * Walter Davis: No, no, the reason for this big business dinner tonight is this Japanese industrialist new client of ours. He's old world Japanese and he's got a wife that's more like a slave and he keeps concubines!
 * Nadia Gates: You gotta be kidding me.
 * Walter Davis: No, no, his wife knows all about it. It's "traditional" or something.
 * Nadia Gates: Tell me something, Walter: Are you into those kind of "traditions"? [chuckles]
 * Walter Davis: No, I'm actually a one-concubine kind of guy.


 * Harry Gruen: Do I have to say the words, Walter?
 * Walter Davis: I am fired?
 * Harry Gruen: I only wish this was the army. So that I could have you shot... Twice!


 * Nadia Gates: Walter if you will just drop me off at a hotel...
 * Walter Davis: [cuts off Nadia] What? and bring an end to this glorious evening?


 * Nadia Gates: [about David's marriage proposal] I don't like you. I certainly do not love you. Do we have to have sex?
 * David Bedford: Oh yes...
 * Nadia Gates: Okay but no kissing.


 * David Bedford: I swear on my mother's grave.
 * Judge Harold Bedford: Your mother is playing the back 9 at Bellaire.
 * David Bedford: I was speaking in the future tense.


 * Judge Harold Bedford: I heard you were represented by counsel.
 * Lawyer: Sorry I'm late
 * Judge Bedford: Uh Mr. Davis would you mind explaining this?
 * Lawyer: I would not mind explaining this For Mr. Davis Your honor.
 * Judge Bedford: I was speaking to Mr. Davis.
 * Walter: Please don't let this man help me.
 * Judge Bedford: Order in the court. [accidentally breaks his Gavel which ends up in the stenographer's space]
 * Stenographer: Uh?
 * Judge Bedford: Mr. Davis one more outburst and I'll hold you in contempt.
 * Stenographer: I'm alright.
 * Judge Bedford: Stop!
 * Judge Bedford: Twenty minute recess [clears the courtroom]
