(0.00 / 0 votes)How many pages of Mr Stein's
hard work did you actually read?
That's a good question.
I believe it was
all but the last nineteen, sir.
- Out of twenty?
- Mr Edwards?
Not bad.
- Yes, Ms Maloney?
- I am amazed at you people!
Did no-one but I find the sickening
display of anti-Semitism offensive?
- I did. I certainly did.
- Thank you.
When you have a Jewish character
playing charades
and you devote ten pages to his
attempt to act the word Holocaust,
and make no condemnation
of the Nazis...
- I'm sorry?
- Do you have no sense of decency?
- Have you no sense of humour?
- Humour?
How can I be anti-Semitic?
I was bar mitzvahed!
Sorry about that, guys. It's my
grandmother. I gotta pick her up.
Could you be
any more unappealing?
You are like a zoo monkey
smeared in its own faeces.
Someone should follow you around
with a pooper scooper.
Mr Gromberg, show a little class
on your way out, please.
Watch out, man.
My beautiful ladies. Today
we are running a bit of a special.
Two bags for 90.
Nicky said he got two for 120.
For Nicky, two bags are 120.
But for Katie and Erica,
two bags are 90.
Do you take cheques?
Cash only, sweetie.
- I don't have any cash.
- Shit! I gotta get outta here!
But I have to go to an ATM.
I'll get you guys next time.
You see, Dr Gromberg, in the window
was this display of socks.
Beautiful, fun socks.
Every colour imaginable. Cashmere.
Next thing I know, the saleswoman
is wrapping up ten pairs for me.
40 bucks a pair.
That's a lot of money for socks.
Does Noah buy you special gifts?
I can't remember the last time
he came home with anything for me.
Son of a bitch!
Sir?
Not you.
My ex-partner. Kipling.
He died.
At last!
We're here, sir.
Stephen, your brother is here.
