Father

(About Nicky’s worries about Billy Walsh)
E: I told him I’d handle this, so why does he call you?
Ari: He’s calling me because he sort of sees me as a second father, and he sort of sees you as a guy who has no idea how to produce.



King Kong

(Talking with E on the problematical budget for Medellin)
They shot King Kong in New Zealand and that monkey climbed up the Empire State Building.



Fired at Last

Ari: Great work, Rob. Great work. See if you can read this: [Writing on dry-erase board] Get the fuck out! You’re fired, and in case your ears are fucked, 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, all right? One-strike policy applies. Now get back to work. God damn that felt good.



Therapy?

Ari (to therapist at the golf course): You shitty dime-store therapist. A man’s life is on the line here, and all you give a fuck about is beating some stupid club record that will do what for you? Give you five minutes of pleasure while you fuck your unpaid emasculated husband tonight? How the fuck does he afford this place anyway? Isn’t he a guidance counselor at a high school?



Jerk Me in the Car

Ari: Dana, I have never cheated on my wife, not since she became my wife, but if you wanna jerk me in the car now, I’m game.



Therapist #7

Ari: I didn’t go to the Lakers game because they were 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!



Needles in my Cock

Ari: Tell Drama he’s on the top of my list of things to do today, along with inserting needles in my cock!
