Lots of great lines in this film, but my favorite (and one I've used as a signature line here) is:
LeBrand: It died in Pittsburgh. Hadrian: Like a dog! Sullivan: Aw, what do they know in Pittsburgh... Hadrian: They know what they like. Sullivan: If they knew what they liked, they wouldn't live in Pittsburgh!
“Armando Benitez, the human train wreck who always runs on time.”
"... with a little sex in it" I thought was a reference to Paramount Producer/Director C.B. DeMille, who wouldn't even do the religious drama without "a little sex in it."
The Girl: You know, the nice thing about buying food for a man is that you don't have to listen to his jokes. Just think, if you were some big shot like a casting director or something, I'd be staring into your bridgework saying 'Yes, Mr. Smearcase. No, Mr. Smearcase. Not really, Mr. Smearcase! Oh, Mr. Smearcase, that's my knee!' Give Mr. Smearcase another cup of coffee. Make it two. Want a piece of pie?
