Tully : Why did you send your stuff to us?
Henry : Well, I liked the title of the mag. It boggled my scrotum.
Tully : Why don't you stop drinking? Anybody can be a drunk.
Henry : Anybody can be a non-drunk. It takes a special talent to be a drunk. It takes endurance. Endurance is more important than truth.

Tully : I know something about you.
Henry : Really?
Tully : You've been jailed twelve times. You like Mahler and Mozart... You hate movies. You like avocados and Schopenhauer.
Henry : Sound's like your man did his homework, baby.
Tully : When I read your stories, I had to find out. They made me feel. And they make me curious, very curious.

Henry : Oh, producer?

Henry : So?
Tully : So, we've discovered you.
Henry : Oh. Oh, I had an idea, that I'd be discovered - after my death.
Tully : You look well on the way. You might beat our deadline.
