Alex Gates
[edit]- I've got an idea. Why don't you sit down at your desk and write down all your complaints, and when I come back, we can have one of those long arguments you like so much.
- What is that, some sort of Latin concept, killing the one you love?
Victor Spansky

- Don't take it personally, Alex. I don't trust the jury system, the phone company, or the Israeli government.
Gabby
[edit]- [flirting in broken English] I never seen anybody to fish in the grass before.
Henry
