-
Matthew : How does anyone grow fifty tons of super skunk without letting anyone else know how they do it?
Mickey Pearson : I'm flattered to hear that from you, Matthew. I imagine that big brain of yours is sweating a stream of tears just trying to figure it out.
Matthew : Brilliance should be acknowledged

Mickey Pearson : Making a splash with the gentry.
Matthew : Oh, I like to make a splash whenever possible.
Mickey Pearson : Well, you also seem to understand the significance of a proper attire.
Matthew : Indeed I do. I believe a sense of ownership is vital in every aspect of life, perhaps never more so than when it comes to wardrobe. For every look there is a season, and for every season a strategy.
Fletcher : [voice over] Now starts the alpha dance. They're not really talking about clothes, Raymond. Oh, f**king no. They're like a pair of old doggies sniffing round one another's intellectual a**holes. It's a good old-fashioned C**k-off, Raymond.

Mickey Pearson : It's the new gold rush. This is the thin end of a very fat wedge, sir.
Matthew : If it's such a fat wedge, why don't you keep it?
Mickey Pearson : You see, I've developed a reputation as a man who came up the hard way. You could say that there's blood on these pretty white hands. But in the new business, once legal and under the jurisdiction of the respectable umbrella of ministerial legitimacy, an enterprise like this will need a face with a clean past, which sadly I do not possess. Retirement doesn't sound so bad. Long walks in the countryside, pruning roses with my better half, raising some cubs. I've earned it.
