Do you have one of those friends who peppers their conversation with random movie quotes that have only a fleeting relevance to the topic at hand? If so, this thread is for you!
I'll start with one of the great comedy monologues of all time. Should we attribute or is it more fun to guess?
"Look Nick, I'm not going to bullshi* you. I don't know you. I don't know your work, but I think that you're a very, very talented young man. And I'm never wrong about these things - Excuse me... Keith? Could I have another Cointreau and soda and could you send an almond torte over to the gentleman in white suit in the corner?
Look, Nick, I'm not going to bullshi* you - because it's a waste of time and it then it becomes like that thing. I'm not talking to you! I'll call you. I'm very, very aware that you are seeing other agents. And I think it's good that you are. Finally I mean it's healthy. But, this is the thing. If you decide to sign with me, you're going to get more than an agent. You're going to get three people. You're going to get an agent, a mother, a father, a shoulder to cry on - someone who knows this business inside and out. Anyone ever tries to cross you, I'll grab them by the balls and squeeze 'til they're dead.
Excuse me... Keith, did you send over the torte?"

For anyone who can't stand it, here is the YouTube link to the entire scene.
