George Sr. Quote #154
Quote from George Sr. in Borderline Personalities
George Sr.: Come on, Stan. I'm offering you the chance to double the size of your business.
Stan Sitwell: Way ahead of you. I've got a big project coming up. And even you can't compete for this one, with your business in the shape that it's in. This is a biggie. I get this contract, and it gets government approval, I'll be bigger than Halliburton. Well, maybe not Halliburton, but definitely Halliburton Teen.
Narrator: Halliburton Teen was a leading youth and lifestyle retailer, despite the fact that it was a re-branding of the tarnished Halliburton Penitentiary and Rendition Systems. It's also how their deep-water drilling enterprise spawned this company.

Michael: You're the one that said no to prison.

Michael: Boy, that's an awful lot of money for the stupidest idea I've ever heard.
George Sr.: The juries love him.
