Quote from Schmidt in Es Good
Nick: Nah, he's a good guy, he's a good guy. Salt of the earth. It's more about what's unsaid, you know? What it comes down to at the end of the day is respect. And I have it for him and he has it for me. Schmidt: Interesting. So Mr. Jason doesn't respect me? Nick: Oh, God, no. Schmidt: Hmm. Nick: I mean, Schmidt, I love you, but... but you're not a man of the people. Schmidt: Of course I'm not a man of the people... I'm above the people. I want the people to build things for me. Nick: And that's where I come in. Schmidt: I can't rely on your... crass Chicago street smarts forever. I'm a homeowner, and I'm a husband, and hopefully, one day I'll be a father. If he's not gonna respect me, then I need to become someone that he will. Nick: That sounds a little scary. Who-who are you looking to become, Schmidt? Schmidt: You.
