Robin Colcord Quote #9

Quote from Robin Colcord in A Bar is Born

Robin: Actually, I had a thought about that other idea we had and I decided that might be fun too.
Sam: What idea was that?
Robin: You remember, the high-rise, with the river view. It turns out it's adjacent to the property that I'm developing, so I decided to buy the whole block and give it a go.
Sam: But you said- You said that was impossible.
Robin: No, I said it was impossible for you. For me, it was two phone calls and a handshake.
Sam: But that was my idea.
Robin: Was it? So hard to recall. The ideas were flying so fast and furious in there.
Sam: Wait a minute. Now, if I had bought that property, couldn't I have sold it to you for a profit?
Robin: You wouldn't take advantage of a friend, would you?
Sam: You talked me out of that place just so you could get it yourself.
Robin: I didn't talk you out of anything. I talked you into following your heart. You're a man with a dream, Sam. I envy you. But if it makes you feel any better, I'm willing to come to an arrangement.
Sam: Oh, yeah?
Robin: Yeah, let's see... Yes, you no longer owe me a favor.

Norm: Geez. Women. You can't live with them. Pass the beer nuts.

Quote from Woody

Rebecca: The point is I don't want you talking about me. There's to be no more gossip about my private life.
Woody: [enters] Sorry I'm late from lunch. I made the mistake of mentioning to my waitress that my boss was dating Robin Colcord. She wanted to know if it was true they haven't slept together. You know, it is amazing what happens when you mention that guy's name. I mean, I had all these people swarming around my table asking me all kinds of questions. "Do I know him very well?" "Do I see him often?" "Do I want soup or salad?"
Sam: Yeah, it's tough being a celebrity. I used to get that all the time when I was playing for the Sox. It's a real pain.
Woody: Yeah, you're lucky, Sam. Everyone forgot about you a long time ago. Last time I saw your name in print was two years ago in a crossword puzzle. "Name a former Red Sox player in 15 letters." And even then, I had a lot of spaces left over.

Quote from Carla

Carla: Don't worry, Rebecca. There's nothing wrong with making a guy wait. It piques their interest. I once made a guy wait until we were both undressed.
