Quotes

• Mr. James: I went to a business symposium called "The Future is Now". Cost me five bills, guess what I learned.

Dave: That the future really is now?

Mr. James: You got it.

• Bill: Do you have a special lady in your life?

Dave: No.

Bill: I'm sorry, that was presumptuous of me. Do you have a special person in your life?

• [Dave is jealous over Lisa talking to her ex-boyfriend about an old dispute]

Lisa: Does it bother you that I talk to Stuart?

Dave: No no, it doesn't bother me, it's just that I've seen tobacco company lawsuits settled more quickly that this interminable security deposit dispute!

• [Catherine interviews Tom P. Baxter, "business visionary"]

Catherine: I realize no one can actually predict the future, but I understand you have a unique insight into where we might be headed as we approach the turn of the century.

Tom: Yeah I do. As I see it Catherine, the future of business, well the future of this country in fact is... computers.

Catherine: Computers. Okay, would you care to elaborate on that?

Tom: Oh, you bet! I think computers are great! You can keep records on them, play games, they're, well they're like magic.

Catherine: Uh-huh...

Tom: I mean I don't have one yet. But I'm gonna get one, you better believe that.

Catherine: What exactly do you do for a living Tom?

Tom: Well I'm between things right now, but all that's gonna change just as soon as I get a computer!

• Lisa: All I'm saying is she is not as sweet as she seems.

Matthew: No no no, she isn't. She's even sweeter. So double shame on both of you! Triple shame!

[Nancy runs out of Dave's office crying]

Matthew: Okay I don't know what David said to her but I'm gonna have to call a quadruple shame on him.
