Maxwell Sheffield
- Maxwell Sheffield: [talking about Brock Storm] Is it me or is he the phoniest man in the world?
- Niles: Not including C.C., sir?
- Fran Fine: Uh, would Brock by any chance have the hots for me, and, and it would be better for you and your show if I went out with him?
- C.C. Babcock: Miss Fine, how could you imply...
- Maxwell Sheffield: Shut-up, C. C. ! Yes, yes, it's true! We're sacrificing you to Brock to close our filthy business deal!
- Fran Fine: [Quick pause] All right.
- [Walks out of the room, then enters again]
- Fran Fine: Uh-oh.
- Maxwell Sheffield, C.C. Babcock: [Both] What?
- Fran Fine: A date with Brock, now wouldn't that be mixing business with personal? You know.
- [Gestures mixing]
- C.C. Babcock: [Glaring at Mr. Sheffield] Maxwell, what is this? And why are you doing it with her?
- Maxwell Sheffield: Oh, just some silly rule I made. What say we forget that rule?
- Fran Fine: Oh, no. Rules are rules.
- Maxwell Sheffield: Rules are made to be broken.
- Fran Fine: I don't know.
- Maxwell Sheffield: Forget the rules! I hate the rules! New rule! No rules! I want you to mix business with personal. I want you to call Val on my business line. Invite her over, have a party! Here, take my credit card, redecorate the house!
- Fran Fine: [Quick pause] All right.
- [Walks off]
- C.C. Babcock: Maxwell, if you don't mind, I think I'll handle the negotiations with Brock's agent.
- Fran Fine: [about her disastrous date with Brock Storm] Oh, Mister Sheffield, I hope I didn't screw up your play.
- Maxwell Sheffield: Well, frankly, after the way Brock treated you this evening, I'm not sure I'd care to work with him anyway.
- Fran Fine: Oh, too bad. Because now he could really hit those high notes.
