Quote from Phil in Send Out the Clowns
Phil: You wanna get ahead? Don't play by the rules. Turns out nice guys finish last in this cold, dog-eat-dog world. Luke: It's not fair. Why don't you play dirty, too? You could take her down. Claire: Honey, 'cause your dad is a better man than that. He has values and morals and- Phil: Shh. You. Keep talking. Luke: Well, just off the top of my head, you could take my spy pen and record her admitting what she did. And then you could play it for those people so they realize what a jerk she is. Claire: Your dad is never gonna do that- Phil: You're a regular chatterbox today! Get me that pen!
