Nina: Get out of my way. Can't you people see I'm carrying a box?
Dick: Nina! Mary, you're back.
Mary: Yes, I'm back. Dean Sumner said it was an oversight, that he had already promised my office to someone else. Backstabbing weasel. That's the last time I suck up to him.

Dick: Professor Suter. So I guess everything worked out, huh?
Professor Suter: Oh, shut up. Thanks to that idiot campaign you mounted on my behalf, they're forcing me to retire.
Dick: Why?
Professor Suter: Because you reminded them I was over 70 and still on the payroll. I haven't taught a class in four years.
Dick: Wh-- What have you been doing all this time?
Professor Suter: Working on my screenplay. It's like Die Hard, but it's set in an office building.
Dick: Die Hard was in an office building.
Professor Suter: Up yours.

Dick: I've realized that when getting what you want comes at the expense of others, it's not at all satisfying.
Harry: Even if it's the last bag of circus peanuts?
Dick: Well, that would be pretty satisfying.
