- Johnny Taylor: Now, let's see. Today? Lunch with your agent. 1:00 right?
- Vance Patton: 1:00, right.
- Johnny Taylor: Johnny, isn't he the agent that specializes in the handling a certain kind of male? Johnny, you're not... you're not one of Mori's little... ah...
- Johnny Taylor: No, Mori also handles a lot of girls. I'm a girl.
- [He laughs]
- Vance Patton: [laughs] You know I find it awfully hard not to like you. You're so disrespectful. Aren't you afraid you'll do something that makes me angry, and I'll refuse to put the money up for your show?
- Johnny Taylor: Look, Vance. If you didn't like the script, then liked me, would you make the picture? I want the deal. So, if you want me to be respectful, let me have the contract. I'll act respectful.
- Vance Patton: Not too respectful. You're way with me. That's an act, isn't it, huh? C'mon, that's how I would handle me. Admit it, that's a tactic.
- Johnny Taylor: [laughs] You're asking me to be honest!
- Vance Patton: At least you're honest, but an honest man, Johnny, I don't know. You can never depend on what he's going to say or do. Give me a crook or a thief every time. Then I can be comfortable.
- Gloria Patton: I love you. Does that sound corny? After all, that's happened, I still love you.
- Vance Patton: Gloria, Gloria. You are 36. I'd rather have two 18's.
