• Frank Rittenhauer : If this factory goes under, the whole town goes under.

  Boardroom Woman : That's when the whores come in.

  Paul : Excuse me, what was that?

  Boardroom Woman : Men laying their trick-money down. Twenty dollars to pay the rent? Maybe not. Maybe instead I'll spend it on the whore.

• Frank Rittenhauer : Something went haywire down in shipping and receiving. Your shipments got screwed up in the computer. The wrong parts went to the wrong cities. Now all hell has broken loose.

  Richard Hayden : I don't believe this.

  Tommy : Okay, so we call everyone and explain what happened.

  Frank Rittenhauer : Half the orders have already been canceled.

  Tommy : What?

  Frank Rittenhauer : They think it's an indication of how things work around here. The real problem is we won't be able to make the payment to the bank.

  Richard Hayden : This is like a bad "Twilight Zone." I think I'm growing a tumor.

  Tommy : Look, we talk to the bank, maybe they'll give us a break. Hell, we've been doin' business with 'em for 23 years.

  Frank Rittenhauer : Tommy, it's all over. You made a valiant effort. But we're gonna have to sell to Zalinsky. I'm flying to Chicago to sign over the company.

  Tommy : What's gonna happen to the factory?

  Frank Rittenhauer : He's gonna shut it down. Zalinsky doesn't care about our workers. He wants the Callahan name. That's all.

  Richard Hayden : Did anyone see "Scanners"?

  Frank Rittenhauer : Bottom line is by 6:00 p.m. tomorrow, we'll all be unemployed.

• Frank Rittenhauer : [Richard is videotaping Reilly and Rittenhauer at the wedding reception]  I just wanna tell you, you really look dynamite today, Beverly.

  [toasts the camera] 

  Ted Reilly : Yeah, Tom, you are a lucky man. Boy, would I like to get some of that.

  Richard Hayden : Good lord.

  Ted Reilly : Oh, God. No. Richard, you got an edit button on that thing?

  Richard Hayden : [backing away]  It'll cost you!

  Ted Reilly : Come here. Come here, you little prick!
