- Ari: I am your biggest fan, I think you are this close to being the biggest movie star on the planet but you are slipping...over a girl?, I've never seen you like this before and it worries me.
- Eric: Well, worry about yourself, he's fine.
- Vince: No, E...he's right to worry about me, I mean you both are, fuck!, i'm worried about me. I mean, look at me, I've been lying to you guys like a fuckin' drug addict. I didn't oversleep, I didn't want to go, I never want to leave her side, not for 5 seconds. I've never been like this in my life, guys. And the truth of the matter is, I don't give a fuck about the movie anymore. I could live with Mandy in a one bedroom in Chatsworth and I'd be happy. I mean it's nuts, but it's the truth.

- Vince: Ari, there's nothing more to say, I'm sorry i lied.

- Terrance: Oh, that's what Arthur Jensen said in 1973. He was the first conspirator that I ever dealt with. Try finding him now, Ari. He's now selling auto insurance in Reseda.
- Ari: Okay people, most of you are sitting there and you're looking at this good-looking old man thinking "Who the fuck is he?" And you know what, that's exactly what you should be doing. You will all know who's been running this company for the past eight years, and you all know, when I go, in no time, you will be repping nobodies like Bill from The Apprentice. No one needs to make a decision right now. I will be starting my own agency. Two very important goals will apply: to make everyone who is in at the ground floor rich, and to burn this motherfucking place to the ground! Lloyd, are you with me? [Lloyd remains silent. Ari approaches him] Lloyd, what are you doing? You and me we have a special bond. Come on, let's go.
- Lloyd: Ari, swear to me that you will never again say anything offensive to me about my race or my sexual orientation.
- Ari: I can't swear to that, but I promise I will always apologize after.

- Dana Gordon: I'm gonna tell you something that you swear it's not gonna come back to me.
- Ari: As always, hand over heart. You know that.
- Dana : Ari, please.
- Ari: I swear.
- Dana: Alan's not gonna make this movie. He bought it just to spite Vince, and he's gonna stick it in a drawer.
- Ari: Jesus, he really is crazy.
- Dana: Mm-hmm.
- Ari: Why are you telling me this?
- Dana: Because I hate working for him and I want out. And Ari, come on, I mean, I love this movie. I grew up on the Ramones, and I love it for Vince, so get me on as a producer.
- Ari: How? It's Alan's movie.
- Dana: No. Not yet it isn't. They're still negotiating Bob's perk package, so just make sure Bob doesn't sign those papers.
- Ari: Dana, [kisses her forehead], I have NEVER cheated on my wife, not since she became my wife, but if you wanna jerk me right now in the car, I'm game.
- Dana: [smiles] Rain check, Ari.
- [Ari tries one last gamble to retain Vince as his client after he discovers Vince looking at other agencies. It flops.]
- Ari: Vince, what are you doing?
- Vince: Ari, I didn't need the whole dog-and-pony show. I really thought you were different from everyone else.
- Ari: Vince, I am.
- Vince: Ari, you do things your own way and you don't give a shit what we think about it.
- Ari: I do give a shit. You should have seen me today begging and pleading to get that movie back, but it's gone. The past is the past, let's look to the future.
- Vince: You're unreal. I mean, even after you fuck up like this, you can't even muster the strength to just, as my friend, look me in the face and say "I'm sorry."
- Ari: That's all you wanted?
- Vince: That's all I wanted.
- Ari: Then I'm sorry, Vin.
- Vince: It's too late.
- Ari: Vince...
- E: Ari, you're fired.
- Vince: [to Turtle and Drama] Let's roll.

- Ari: [on the way out] Remind me not to get on your bad side, Lloyd.
- Lloyd: Ari Gold, you could never.
[edit] Manic Monday [3.15]
- Ari: Everybody stop. I didn't go to the Lakers game because they're playing the fucking Bobcats. And I came here today because I thought this was a session on how my wife could learn to communicate. How to answer a question without a question. Basic Humanity 101. Which, I thought, given your wall of fucking diplomas, you could easily fix. Or if you couldn't, you could give her a pill that would either fix it or make her a mute. But now, to turn around and gang up on me — I have work to do. I have hundreds of clients to deal with. And just so we're clear, I don't care about any of them. They're all just a number, like wife #1 and therapist #7. Good day.
- Mrs. Ari: You're really only our fifth.
- [Having regained his hire-and-fire mojo from an impromptu session with his marriage therapist, Ari goes back to the office to confront Robby Rubino at the conference room for being so unproductive]
- Ari: Great work Rob, great work. See if you can read this. [writes GET THE FUCK OUT!!! on white board] You're fired, and in case your ears are fucked, [points the door] GET THE FUCK OUT!!! And the next person I see juggling, tap-dancing, or baton-twirling or doing any other circus-like tricks will join him, alright? One-strike policy applies, now get back to work! Hot damn, that felt good.

- [At Wilshire Boulevard Temple Ari and Nick Rubenstein try to convince studio president Arthur Gatoff about approving Vince's talent fee to replace Benicio del Toro in Medellin. He is not happy to see them]
- Arthur Gatoff: This is wildly inappropriate coming to my shul, this day of all days, to discuss money. I have a bad enough reputation here after the hellish divorce I've just gone through.
- Ari: At least you're at a place where you can meet a nice Jewish girl, Arthur. [Gatoff looks at him] Come on, we were at temple too. This is time sensitive, God would understand! We all have to take care of our own -
- Gatoff: Ari, I have to go back inside.
- Nick Rubenstein: Arthur, you said you'd meet Vince's quote.
- Gatoff: You said his quote was three.
- Rubenstein: I was wrong.
- Gatoff: You and your father have been wrong about a lot of things on this one, Nick. Maybe animation is more your bag.
- Rubenstein: Wow, cut the Rubensteins like that, on the high holiday...
- Gatoff: I'm sorry, forgive me.
- Rubenstein: Arthur, I forgive you, but just make a quick phone a call it'll take a second, but -
- Gatoff: Nick, I don't know what goes on at that half-church reform synagogue of yours, but here, we don't talk business on Yom Kippur. Now please, before I get angry... [leaves]
- [Mrs Ari has caught Ari and Nick Rubenstein using the cellphone on Yom Kippur to negotiate for Vince working with in Paul Haggis' Medellin shoot after Benicio del Toro walks off.]

[edit] The Resurrection [3.18]
- [Vince gets a call from Ari who patches him to Joe Roberts, his rival for the Medellin script rights]
- Vince: Hey Joe.
- Joe Roberts: Vince?
- Vince: Yeah.
- Joe Roberts: I was a PA on Apocalypse Now. I watched Francis almost kill himself to get that movie made. I watched him go bankrupt, watched him go mad nearly, and I idolized him for it. I never had the passion. For me it was always about the score. You seem to have that passion, Vince, but if you really don't have it and can lose it too, don't kill yourself. At the end of the day, it's only a movie. Good luck, Vince.

- Nika: We want to make this movie.
- Vince: Fantastic.
- Nik: Mamm, does it excite you?
- Vince: Yes it does, so much so [to E] They're in.
- Nika: I just have one small concern - creatively. I'd like to meet you at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in one hour and we'll discuss. Is this okay?
- Vince: Sure.
- Nika: Oh, and one more thing, Vincent.
- Vince: Yes, Nika?

- E: So you like the script?
- Billy: What, was I not just fucking clear?
- Vince: Can you do it for 25 million?

- Ari: [having checked out the backseat] Jesus Christ, the valet probably stole it.
- Mrs Ari: don't be racist.
- Ari: Valets steal shit, alright? Just because they're mostly Hispanic, doesn't make a racist. You know what happens if this gets out? If someone puts Night's new ending on the Internet, MY LIFE IS OVER!
- Mrs Ari: Nobody's gonna know you did it.
- Ari: Yes they will, because Night, that little sick fuck, printed my name [pounds roof with every word] on every fucking page!

- Yair Marx: I didn't sign anything.
- Ari: What are you talking about?
- Marx: That's the worst piece of shit I've ever seen!

- Marx: Sue me, my company's based out of Dubai. [puts on shades] Good luck.

- Drama: You think I need you to pick up extras for me to bang?
- Turtle: Well, I did have to charm about 20 of them before I found one that would say yes.
- Drama: Do you know how stupid this is?

- E: Know what Josh, sandbagging us like that was a real dick move.

- Drama: What the hell's so wrong with going TV?
- Turtle: Nothing for David Hasselhoff or for you [to Weinstein], but for Vince, doing TV is ridiculous.

- Drama: Yeah, you believe it?
- Weinstein: Not really.
- Drama: Nobody does.
- E: Yeah, it's been a pleasure as always, Josh.

- Vince: I don't want to get stuck playing the same character for the next five years. I want to do movies.
- Turtle: He's still a movie star, you know.
- Weinstein: Lots of movie stars do TV. George Clooney did ER, for Chrissake.
- E: That was before he was George Clooney. No one goes back, 'cause you don't get back to movies.

- Turtle: It's okay, things haven't exactly panned out, career-wise.
- Sigler: Why don't you take over this limo business, and I'll be the driver.

- Vince: [turns back to E] Really? You're sure? You're so fucking sure, how do you really know?
- E: I just do.
- Vince: Just like you knew about this? Ari told you No, and you kept pushing. Not only did you embarrass yourself, you embarrassed me.
- E: Embarrassed you? Gus Van Sant likes you.
- Vince: Do you believe him? C'mon, he wouldn't let me audition. Who knows if he even watched the footage?
- E: Vince-
- Vince: No! We said, we swore that this year, we would listen to Ari, and guess what? Again, you didn't.
- E: What am I supposed to do? Do nothing and stand idly by in the hope that something magically appears?
- Vince: Yeah, maybe, and since you've been my manager, everything that you've pushed for has brought me to this point.
- E: You serious? I've been the one working to get you what you want when no one else cared.
- Vince: Yeah, that maybe what I needed, someone who would look out for my career and not my personal interests.
- E: I was doing both!
- Vince: Whatever it is you're doing, clearly it wasn't working. Two years ago, I was starring in movies, now people wouldn't let me audition?
- E: One person wouldn't let you audition, you gotta stay positive Vince, you know that.
- Vince: Are you serious? I've done nothing but stay positive. I've listened to everything that you wanted me to do, and now I've got a house full of people who can really see how a failure I've turned into.
- E: Vince...
- Vince: No, when we started this, we said when we started this that it will all be about the business not the friendship. It's time for a change, E.
- E: [realizes Vince's words] You're firing me?
- Vince: 'Cause this isn't working.
- E: Whatever, I'm not gonna grovel. Go find someone better, 'Cause I can live with myself knowing I busted my ass and I gave everything I had to you.
- Vince: I know you did E, but it wasn't enough.
- E: Yeah, fuck you.

- Ari: What do you need, office space, insurance, how many employees? What do you project to earn, what do you need to break even, at what point can your investors see some profit?!
- Turtle: I don't know!
- Ari: [ushers Turtle to seat] Look. When my son was born, my greatest fear was having this conversation. I knew that I would give him anything he wanted 'cause he was my son. I couldn't say No, which sucks, because it wouldn't help him and he'd just end up on the street doing heroin with the two Coreys, because I was too much of a pussy to teach him a lesson. I won't make that mistake with you. Just say No.
- Turtle: I could pull this off, Ari.
- Ari: Come back to me when you could prove it.

- E: Well, first you find me a place to live and then you're trying to get your godfather to hire me?
- Sloan: These are bad things?
- E: Yeah, but why are you doing it?
- Sloan: Because I care about you.
- E: I thought you didn't want to be friends.
- Sloan: I said I couldn't be friends right now and that's because I cared too much.
- E: So what? You want to see me turn into the man you want to be, then you'll consider talking to me?
- Sloan: Eric, I have no idea what you're being so hostile about.
- E: How hostile? Because while you may just think I'm Vince's bitch, I've done pretty okay for myself. I don't need you out there begging people to offer me things.
- Sloan: I didn't beg anybody. I told someone about you and I thought you guys might make a good match. [steps out of way again for golf cart] Apparently, he agrees and he's not some schmuck who hands out jobs because I tell him to - and I don't think of you as Vince's bitch, for crying out loud, but clearly, you do.
- E: Well, maybe you don't know me so well.

- Vince: So how did you cover?
- E: I told her she was hearing things.
- Vince: Jesus.
- Drama: I bet you she took that well.
- E: Yeah, she left.
- Turtle: Who wouldn't?

- Drama: Well, my picture's right there! [points to Five Towns ad] How do you explain that?
- Lawrence: Can't, but the message came from Dan Coakley himself, so I'm assuming whatever you did, looks real bad.
[edit] The Sorkin Notes [6.08]
- [Aaron Sorkin and Ari Gold visit Andrew Klein in jail]
- Andrew Klein: Act as if you have faith, and fate shall be given to you.
- Ari Gold: This is pathetic.
- Aaron Sorkin: He's quoting me. It's the West Wing, the Assassination episode.
- Klein: I had more of your quotes. I had a lot of ideas, amazing, brilliant ideas, but I couldn't get into my house. My wife wouldn't let me get them and I blew that chance. I blew my marriage and if I blew this with you, I'd blow my career too.
- Ari: I'm sorry, Aaron-[Sorkin gestures him to let Andrew speak]
- Klein: I drove into my own house for you Aaron. My own, uninsured, overpriced Beverly Hills motherfucking home. I took my car, and I put it into gear, and I drove it [cracking voice] right into my own goddamn living room...for you. Who else would do that? [cries]

- Vince: Why don't you take it off?
- Drama: I gotta shoot again tonight. I can't bear another session in my makeup chair. [Splits bagel with bagel slicer he just bought]
- Turtle: Now you got two bad sides.
- Drama: [agitated] Don't start with me Turtle, I am exhausted! [slaps hand hard on bagel slicer]
- Turtle: Oh you are? We got the Israeli Army waking us up all night, you can go home!
- Drama: Baby bro is hungry, and you can go to Jamie's.
- [Ari has a three-way teleconference with Adam Davies and a very pissed off Zac Efron]
- Zac Efron: You still there, Adam?
- Adam Davies: Yup.
- Efron: Good. You're fired. I'm with Ari now.
- Ari: Good Yontiff! [claps hands and breaks off link to Davies] Beautiful work, Zac, beautiful. You are now my new favorite client. I cannot wait to get you a producer credit on College Musical.

[edit] Berried Alive [6.10]
- [Ari is livid that Lloyd resigned and now works for Adam Davies at TMA]
- Lloyd: I'm sorry you feel that way, Ari.
- Ari Gold: [over the phone] You're sorry, Lloyd?!?! You have NO IDEA how sorry you're going to be. I am going to destroy you, I am going to ERRODE every fiber of your spirit. You no longer exist, you are dead to me, and the town will know that anyone meeting with you, speaking with you, or even NODDING to you on the street will be dead as well. So die, Lloyd. Die, die, DIE! And when you're gagging on Davies' balls, I want you to bite down so he can die too!
- [At a restaurant, E has told Ashley that he's breaking up with her. A phone call to him is driving her nuts]
- Ashley: [to E, who's preparing to leave] You know you are really a piece-of-shit liar. You love fucking with me, don't you? You just said this morning that you want to be exclusive so you could use me and pull this shit now. I can't believe I fell for your nice guy act. You are real sick.
- E: Well, I'm sorry you feel that way.
- Ashley: And I'm sorry you're a douchebag!
- E: Look, I didn't lie to you about anything. I actually liked you, but you show up at the premiere uninvited, you check my phone, you listen to my messages, you want my emails? [Ashley squirms in seat] You say you are not crazy, but all signs point to the contrary. I'm sorry. [Leaves restaurant]
[edit] Scared Straight [6.11]
- [Ari has a new assistant]
- Matt: I got you a blueberry grand muffin from the Belwood Bakery, 'cause I was told it's your favorite. [walks together with Ari]
- Ari: It is...[gets muffin from paper bag] except this is cranberry. [Matt is flabbergasted] See the red berries? [shoves muffin and paper bag in Matt's face]

- [Turtle and Jamie-Lynn Sigler argue over the UCLA co-ed who flirted with him and later added him in Facebook]
- Turtle: I think you're overreacting.
- Jamie-Lynn: [packs up things for her New Zealand assignment] You do? You know how many people requested to be my friend? I didn't accept them all!
- Turtle: I didn't want to be rude.
- Jamie-Lynn: This is really convenient timing, don't you think?
- Turtle: No this is terrible timing, 'cause now you're gonna leave all upset.
- Jamie-Lynn: Sorry for your guilt!
- Turtle: Jamie please, this is hard enough for me already, could you please trust me and forget about it?
- Jamie-Lynn: I know I'm forgetting something.
- Turtle: Jamie, you have everything. I looked under your bed, opened every drawer. Just wanna make sure you and I are okay.
- Jamie-Lynn: Then delete her!
- Turtle: Delete her?
- Jamie-Lynn: Yeah! Take her off your friends list.
- Turtle: [accesses FB on iPhone and deletes girl] Done. Feel better?
- Jamie-Lynn: Not really.
- Turtle: Jamie, come on.
- Jamie-Lynn: Do you want me to go?
- Turtle: No, I don't want you to go! This is gonna be a great opportunity. It's gonna be amazing for you.
- Jamie-Lynn: [sits on bed, teary-eyed] You're really going to miss me?
- Turtle: Baby, don't cry. I'll be waiting right here for when you get back. [Jamie hugs him]

- [Ari and Mrs Ari discuss Terrance's buyout offer with the marriage therapist, and the real reason comes to light after Mrs Ari mentions Terrance, Adam Davies, and Lloyd]
- Therapist: Is it true? Do you want to destroy these people, Ari?
- Ari: Okay, yes. If I could GOUGE OUT Terrance McQuewick's eyeballs and eat them for what he did to me, I would. And I would sell that Benedict Arnold Adam Davies into white slavery if we lived in a place that had a market for it. And LLOYD, that little queen, who I welcomed into my home and allowed to play with my children and care for my dog and who left me for those two scumbags, I would tie him up and allow the entire Screen Actors Guild to anally rape him if not for the fact that I'd know he would enjoy it. I hate them all, and yes, I want to see them destroyed. But that is not why I want this company. I want - no, I need - this company, because it's good business. It's good goddamn business and if I don't buy it, someone else will and that will be very very bad for my business. And my wife, of all people, should know, that when it comes to business, my judgment is never clouded, so please [pleads to Mrs Ari] please support me like you always have, and I will deliver for us, like I always have.
- Therapist: So, what do you think?
- Mrs Ari: I think it was a good speech.
- Therapist: Yeah.
- Mrs Ari: Do what you need to do, Ari.
- Ari: Really?[Mrs Ari nods] I love you. [Kisses Mrs Ari then to therapist] Can we fuck in here?
- [E and Sloan are having a fight on the road about getting back together]
- E: Why is it so selfish 'cause I'm tryin' to tell you i wanna be with you?
- Sloan: [gets out of car and walks away] Because last time you convinced me it was forever, you took off with your buddies five minutes later!
- E: I'm sorry, I was trying to get my business going!
- Sloan: You took me for granted.
- E: [blocks her] I know!
- Sloan: Eric, why are you doing this to me?
- E: Because I love you.
- Sloan: I will not get lured back into this. I can't trust you! You love to have a girlfriend, but on your terms! You're never gonna be able to commit, not to anyone!
- E: That is not true, I will commit to you right now!
- Sloan: Eric, STOP!
- E: I swear to God, I'm gonna marry you.
- Sloan: [sarcastic] You'll marry me?
- E: Yes, I'm gonna get into that car right now, drive to Vegas and commit to you for the rest of my life.
- Sloan: Really? Have you even thought about this?
- E: Yeah. I have, and this time I swear on my life, it'll be forever. [presents engagement ring]

- Amanda Daniels: No, no, your false-
- Ari: Fuck you.
- Mrs. Ari: Ari!
- Ari: No no, hold on a second! I've never hit a woman in my entire life, but I swear in my mind, right now, I am pummeling your smug face to a pulp for everything you've done to me, my career, and my family. But not to worry, alright because I will prevail, because I'm a winner, and you're a whore with more cleavage than talent. AND I WILL NOT STOP UNTIL I DESTROY YOU!
- Restaurant Manager: Mr Gold, I have to insist that you have to leave.
- Ari: Excellent choice, because I have a life to destroy!

- Vince: It does hurt.
- Walsh: But I can fix it.
- Vince: So, fix it. Change anything you want, I'll take nothing personally because this movie's not for me. It's for Johnny.
- Walsh: Amazing selflessness, I'm gonna use some of that for the yellow Lab's personality, if that's okay.
- [Ari has just discovered whom Mrs Ari is dating and goes to the conference room to meet his agents]

- [Drama tries to talk to Johnny's Bananas producer Phil Yagoda about a pay raise with E and Scott's help. Phil is not amused.]
- Phil Yagoda: [while driving] Is Dice there too?
- Drama: No Phil, we're not crazy.
- Phil: Yeah well, Johnny do yourself a favor - don't let anybody cover your ears, so you can hear this - Hey dumb fuck, was this your idea?
- Drama: It was Dice's idea. He's put crazy things in my head.
- Phil: Yeah, well remind Dice that when we cast him two months ago, he was doing stand-up at a fucking bowling alley.
- Drama: He doesn't care.
- Phil: Well, you better care Johnny, because if you allow him or anyone else to fuck this up, you're bananas. Go to Dice tell him you don't get a raise because you test well. Maybe remind him about his show called Concrete Heat that I produced and you starred in in 1994 and that tested to the fucking moon. You remember that?
- Drama: [attentive because he remembers the show] Yeah, I remember that.
- Phil: Yeah, you remember how long it lasted?
- Drama: One week.
- Phil: Yeah, many people thought it was cancelled in the second half hour.
- Drama: Yeah, that's because they put us up against fucking Seinfeld.
- Phil: Drama, I know that doing a voiceover is not what you want - I know that you want to get that precious face of yours back in the camera. This will lead to all of that, if you're smart, so be smart and be sure that crazy fuck is too or you will bury us all.

- [A police officer has Vince and Turtle processed for questioning related to Carl Ertz' suicide]

- Mrs Ari: What, you wouldn't think that Bobby Flay wouldn't tell me that you were out on a date?
- Ari: Well, I guess the Bro Code's out the window when you're fucking someone's wife.
- Mrs Ari: I am indeed hurt and quite frankly embarrassed!
- Ari: How do you think I felt?
- Mrs Ari: Anyone else, Ari? I mean, even if you insist on throwing it in my face, I could deal with anyone else!

- [Melinda Clarke has visited E at the Murphy-Lavin office]

- E: Listen. I thought taking three years off was a complete waste of your time.

- E: Really? I didn't know of that.
- Melinda: Why do you think I'm here? I want you to manage me.
- E: Why me?
- Melinda: Sloan always spoke so highly of you. I may hate her father, but I always love and respect her.

- Billy: Let's just get it done.
- Drama: Get WHAT done? This show is over if we don't do something about it.
- Billy: What do you like to do?
- Drama: Get Dice back!
- Billy: Not gonna happen. The network won't pay him.
- Drama: [points to Jamie] You like this guy?
- Billy: Course not.
- Drama: Then we need to make it happen!!
- Billy: If there was something I could do, don't you think I would have done it? I would give anything to get Dice back.

[edit] The Big Bang [8.06]

- Vince: I have good relationships with women.
- Sophia: I write what I see.
- Vince: I don't know how, after everything else I shared with you, you could see that.
- Sophia: I don't know why you're focusing on a tiny part of a six-page article.
- Vince: Because it's not true. I have tons of respect for women, and not just those I want to sleep with.
- Sophia: And you show it by stalking me to a restaurant?
- Vince: I wouldn't call it stalking.
- Sophia: What would you call it?
- Vince: I want to talk.
- Sophia: What do you think that would accomplish?
- Vince: Correct your opinion of me.

- Vince: Why?

- Bobby Flay: [appears from kitchen] I'm not hiding, Ari.
- Ari: Well, you should!
- Mrs Ari: [holds him back] Please, Bobby!
- Bobby: Melissa, it's okay.
- Ari: [distraught about what he just saw] I don't fucking believe it.
- Mrs Ari: What, what don't you believe? What, more lies about how all you care about is how happy I am? You're so full of shit.
- Ari: I have never hidden who I am, obviously you have. I have no idea who you are. From hereon out, we're gonna let the lawyers handle everything. [steps back] Look honey, I've changed. I'm leaving my house, with you and your barbecueing boytoy in it. No fight, no cops called, no tears, no beating his fucking face in. [leaves]
[edit] Second to Last [8.07]
- [Lloyd sees Ari in tears reading the miners movie script]

- Lloyd: No?
- Ari: I don't even have my dog. This job, Vince...it's all I've got. Is your department ready?
- Lloyd: That's why I'm here. They're waiting.
- Ari: Let's do this. [Ari meets agents at conference room and throws script on table] I don't know most of you. Why would I? I don't deal with TV, especially with made-for-TV movies. This is different. Vince Chase wants this for his brother Johnny. Now we know that Johnny Chase may have limited talent, but like a child with special needs, a real family member will stand by his side. A real family member will buy that child's way into Harvard, if that's what it takes. Vince Chase is standing by his brother, and I'm standing by both of them. Now I want every available option to get this movie made by the end of the day. Whoever succeeds will be my family member. Whoever doesn't will be cleaning tanning beds in fucking Rancho Cucamonga-
- Jake: [cuts in] I'm sorry Ari, Dana Gordon's on the phone for you.
- Ari: [to agents] Looks like I just did your job for you. You're all fired.
- [Turtle is disappointed that Avion made an IPO and his investors would not add more money for his Don Peppe's LA, and lets Vince know his frustration]
- Vince: It did?
- Turtle: If not for my selfish desire to prove that I don't need you, if we didn't sell our stock I would have made four million dollars and what's worse? You would have made almost 15. [sits down]
- Vince: Wow.
- Drama: Jesus.
- Vince: Wow, that's unbelievable.
- Turtle: I'm sorry Vin. I'm so stupid.
- Vince: [comforts him] You're not stupid. You're smart for getting me into this tequila thing, and I'm smart for not fucking listening to you.
- Turtle: [startled] What?
- Vince: I never sold!
- Turtle: What do you mean?
- Vince: I knew this thing was going to be big because you told me it was gonna be, and because I called Mark Cuban, who guaranteed it, so I kept my shares and I even bought yours.
- Turtle: Don't fuck with me right now, Vince. Please?
- Vince: Cuban told me I'd regret it forever if I didn't, so I bought 'em for you. I mean, you gotta give me back the initial, but it seems like a good trade. Three hundred for almost four million?
- Drama: Turtle's a millionaire?
- Vince: Yeah, now that he doesn't need me, maybe he'd let me invest in his restaurant.
- Turtle: I, I don't know what to say.
- Drama: Say thank you, you dumb fuck!

- Sloan: I have to ask you something and I need you to be honest.
- Drama: Yeah, I swear on my life.
- Sloan: Swear on your career?
- Drama: Okay.
- Sloan: Did E fuck Melinda?
- Drama: No, no, I swear on my career, E did not fuck Melinda. [Turtle gestures No]
- Sloan: What time does the plane leave?
- Turtle: Eight pm.
- Sloan: I'll think about it.
- [Ari receives a call from someone while vacationing on the Amalfi Coast. It turns out to be John Ellis.]
- John Ellis: I want you back here, Ari.
- Ari Gold: Not gonna happen, John.
- John: You passed on my studio once, which I thought was asinine. Are you really silly enough to pass an offer from me twice?
- Ari: Your studio head is doing a great job. You don't need me.
- John: I don't want you to replace her. I want you to replace me...as chairman and CEO. It's my time, and yours. [drinks]
- Ari: John...
- John: This is not just about movies, it's about a film division that grossed four billion. It's about a television network and three premium cable networks. You want a sports franchise? Buy one yourself. 'Cause there will only be a handful of other people making the sort of money you'll be making. And while everyone you know may own the fanciest clothes and the best cars, you will own the companies that sell 'em. You wanna know what Heaven really is, Ari? Try being God. Ari?
- Ari: [flabbergasted at the offer] John, I just got here.
- John: You're the only guy for this and you know it. Rest. Relax. I'll try you again in one week. [hangs up]
