Quote from George in The Bookstore

Rebecca DeMornay: So, you want to donate this to charity?
George: Well, I assume there's some sort of write-off.
Rebecca DeMornay: What's the value of the book?
George: Uh, about two hundred dollars, Miss DeMooney.
Rebecca DeMornay: It's DeMornay. Rebecca DeMornay.
George: Oh.
Rebecca DeMornay: [opens cover] Oh, wait a second. This book has been in the bathroom.
George: Wh- What are you talking about? That- That's ridiculous.
Rebecca DeMornay: It's been flagged. I know. I used to work in a Brentano's. Mister, we're trying to help the homeless here. It's bad enough that we have some nut out there trying to strap them to a rickshaw!
George: All right, I, I'll just take fifty. Do- Do we have a deal?
Rebecca DeMornay: Yeah, and here it is: You get your toilet book out of here, and I won't jump over this counter and punch you in the brain!
George: I could take it in merchandise.
Rebecca DeMornay: Here I come.

J. Peterman: And, in a tiny way, I almost feel responsible. I'm the one who sent him to Thailand in search of low-cost whistles. Filled his head with pseudo-erotic tales of my own opium excursions. Plus, I have him some phone numbers of places he could score near the hotel.
