Frank Slaughtery : You know what a man should never ask in a Victoria's Secret shop, Jake?
Jakob Elinsky : What?
Frank Slaughtery : "Does this come in children's sizes?"
-
Frank Slaughtery : You know, you're wearing a striped shirt with a striped tie, you know that, right?
Phelan : Yeah, I do it for the ladies.
Frank Slaughtery : Oh - the ladies ever tell you that you look like a fucking optical illusion?
Phelan : Yeah?
Frank Slaughtery : Go away, disappear... come on.
Phelan : I'm outta here.
-
Jakob Elinsky : I kissed her.
Frank Slaughtery : You what?
Jakob Elinsky : My student. I, I kissed her.
Frank Slaughtery : Who are you trying to be... R. Kelly?
-
Naturelle Riviera : One minute ago, you were my friend. Are you drunk? Tell me you've been drinking too much. You're fucking drunk.
Frank Slaughtery : I'm Irish. I can't get drunk, all right? I know exactly what I'm saying.

Monty Brogan : [from deleted scene] Y'know, people think I was after the money... and I was in a way. I mean, let's face it, money gets you nice things. I like... Italian shoes and a fast car like anybody else, but I don't need 'em. It's not like I grew up poor. I wasn't chasing the money, I was chasing a feeling. What I hungered for... was *sway*.
Kostya Novotny : Sway... helps you make money. And money... helps you make sway. But sway is not money. *This* is sway.
Naturelle Riviera : Sway is walking into the Import Warehouse in Brooklyn... all the clothes from Europe straight off the boat, still wrapped in plastic... Gucci, Prada, YSL... You can pick out what you want... because everybody knows your boyfriend, and everyone owes him a favor.
Jakob Elinsky : Sway is walking into the best five-star restaurant in the city, without a reservation, and being seated... right away.
Frank Slaughtery : Sway? Ha ha ha. That's making a phone call in the morning, and having courtside seats, Madison Square Garden, that evening. Lakers vs. Knicks, Kobe and Shizzaq in the hizzouse!
Mary D'Annunzio : Sway is entering a club through the staff entrance, so you can skip the line, the cover charge... and the metal detector.
Monty Brogan : Sway is locking eyes with an undercover cop on the subway. You know what he is, and he knows what you are, and you *wink* at him... because he drives a battered Buick and you drive a vintage muscle car, and he can. Not. Touch. You. That, my friends, is sway.

Kostya Novotny : I pick her out special just for you.
Monty Brogan : The last girl you picked out special for me had three teeth, all in the back.
Kostya Novotny : Funny you should say that.
[laughs]
Monty Brogan : Why? Why is it funny I should say that?
Kostya Novotny : What you say, it was funny.
Monty Brogan : Kostya, you can't... when you...
Monty Brogan : It's an expression. If you say that...
Frank Slaughtery : It's a, uh, euphemism, right?
Monty Brogan : Can you explain this? You're the English teacher.
Jakob Elinsky : Uh...
Jakob Elinsky : I think what he means, Kostya, is that when you say, "Funny you should say that," that means that it reminds you of a funny story.
Monty Brogan : Exactly.
Kostya Novotny : No, no. It was funny what you say... "Funny you should say that."
Monty Brogan : It still makes no fucking sense. This is what I deal with.

Jakob Elinsky : What do we say to him?
Frank Slaughtery : We say nothin'. The guy's going to hell for seven years, what are going do wish him luck?
-
Naturelle Riviera : What are you boys up to?
Jakob Elinsky : Frank's just flirting with the bartender.
Naturelle Riviera : Oh, yeah? What's the verdict?
Frank Slaughtery : Guilty of lookin' good.
Naturelle Riviera : She's just tits, Francis.
Frank Slaughtery : Oh, yeah? Did you see her ass? That girl's got a fine ass... I mean, she's oozing sex-appeal.
Naturelle Riviera : Yeah, she's oozing somethin'.
Frank Slaughtery : See that right there, that is so typical... that's what I'm talking about, Jake.
Frank Slaughtery : Why is it that a woman walks in a room with great tits, every other woman in the joint says that she's a slut? Why is that?
Naturelle Riviera : I have great tits, I'm not a slut.
Frank Slaughtery : Says you.

Marcuse : You know, it's funny - I don't see you picking up the phone to sell those contracts, and I'm pretty sure I just heard your daddy come over here and cut off your allowance, so I'm a little surprised. You're not gonna disobey a direct order, are you?
Frank Slaughtery : You know, Marcuse... do I come into your bedroom and tell you how to blow your boyfriend? No. Go away.
-
Frank Slaughtery : [Frank is trying to explain to his boss why he's sold 100 million dollars in contracts] Sal, you knew. They raised my limit to 100.
Salvatore Dominick : A week ago. They just raised your limit a week ago.
Frank Slaughtery : What am I gonna do? Sit on it? Is that what you want?
Salvatore Dominick : First of all, you're not gonna raise your voice to me. That's first off. You cannot put me, you, or this firm in jeopardy by putting 100 million dollars in one idea. Right or wrong?
Frank Slaughtery : Right or wrong, yeah. Listen. I think we're in for a low number, alright? 140, 135!
Salvatore Dominick : I really don't give a shit what you think Frank. You're becoming a cowboy. You come in here, you're not even clean shaven, Frank. Stop playing with this fucking ball and pay attention to me. You come in here drinking your Red Bull shit, you stink like booze, you're out all night partying, and that's OK. But when you become a cowboy, that's when I draw the line. I am still your boss. And I am telling you now. You sell half those contracts. Do I make myself clear? Do I make myself clear, Frank? Do I make myself clear to you?
Frank Slaughtery : Yeah.
Salvatore Dominick : Yes? Good. Have a good day. And by the way, we're still on for Friday night, courtside, front row. Don't be late.

Phelan : Uhm, Sally's looking for a high number... two hundred and eighty thousand is their call.
Frank Slaughtery : Fuck Salamon Brothers.
Phelan : Fuck, uh... fuck Salamon Brothers?
Frank Slaughtery : Yeah, fuck Salamon Brothers... they're hedging their bets, they want everybody on their side of the fence.
Phelan : Uhm, what's the big deal with the unemployment number anyway?
Frank Slaughtery : Fellan...
Phelan : It's, uh... Phelan.
Frank Slaughtery : Whatever, look... more jobs means fewer people looking for work, means it's harder to find good people to fill those jobs, means you gotta raise wages to get them, means inflation goes up. You got it?
Phelan : Yeah.
Frank Slaughtery : No, I didn't think so. That's why I'm doing what I'm doing and you're handing out junk mail.
-
Jakob Elinsky : Jesus Christ!
Frank Slaughtery : Yeah.
Jakob Elinsky : Yeah, the New York Times says the air is bad down here.
Frank Slaughtery : Well, fuck the Times... I read the Post.
Frank Slaughtery : EPA says it's fine.
Jakob Elinsky : Well, somebody's lying.
