Schmidt: [answers phone] Nick, if this is about notes, so help me God.
Nick: I'm sorry, but I'm not gonna stop bugging you until you note me, Schmidt.
Schmidt: All right, Nick. Here's a note. Stop cutting yourself off at the knees like a selfish coward.
Nick: Okay, great, great. I love the direction we're going. We're getting more critical, but can you refocus to the writing?
Schmidt: No, Nick, I cannot, and you want to know why? Because you are a writer. And a damn good one at that. But you're just too scared to admit it to yourself. Goodbye, sir. [hangs up]
Nick: No! Damn, you raven-haired dandy boy.
