Mark McKinney: Richard Smith-Jones

Quotes 

• Richard Smith-Jones : OK, how would you advertise?

  Sanjay : Richard, I don't use that word.

  Richard Smith-Jones : Advertise?

  Sanjay : Yes, that is not what we do here.

  Richard Smith-Jones : You don't do advertising?

  Sanjay : Richard, people are tired of ads in all their forms. They don't believe anything we say and it doesn't work. We at Frog Hammer ask ourselves very simple things. Is it wondrous? Does it move you? Is it culturally authentic? We believe that people are sick of being lied to. If you use truth, you can sell people anything. If you want to react, to feel, to buy, tell them the truth! TRUTH IS THE NEW LIE!

  Richard Smith-Jones : Fuck it. You're hired.

• Richard Smith-Jones : So Nadine's neck is broken? Is that what you're saying?

  Anna Conroy : Yes!

  Richard Smith-Jones : We'll have to find a replacement.

  Anna Conroy : Yes! And her neck is broken! Which is much worse than having to find a replacement director!

  Richard Smith-Jones : Yes! I'm not being insensitive, Anna! I'm just thinking ahead, OK? Let's send her some flowers, alright? A basket: big. Let's pray she doesn't sue.

  Anna Conroy : Of course, because that would be truly horrible.

  Richard Smith-Jones : What? I'm not HEARTLESS! I'm just... I'm detail-oriented.
