Brik Olson: Joe

Quotes 

• Liz : You know what sells? Romanticized bullshit. Hippies in the Village, like you. You're a starving artist, living with a banker husband...

  Joe : I'm a bookie.

  Liz : Yes, yes.

  Joe : And my name's Joe.

  Liz : Liz. Gee, love your little mise-en-scene here.

  [Gestures to a poster of Fighting Nirvana] 

  Liz : So, you're a starving artist living in the rat-infested home with all these posters of arthouse movies no one ever sees. That is romantic.

  Makeida : I want to write about something personal.

  Liz : Ahhhh, subways! What could scream New York more than subway trains? We've got the oldest ones in the world. Hey, the 7 is a famous train.

  Makeida : Actually, I have been thinking about the Q train a lot lately...

  Liz : Wait, wait, hold on.

  [Looks up at the sky] 

  Liz : What's that? Yes, O Lord, that's a great idea!

  [Turns back to Makeida] 

  Liz : . That was God. He says you should write about the 7 train.

  Makeida : How is God these days?

  Liz : Box office dynamite.
