Quote from Hilary in The Butler Did It
Ashley: I've been through the whole neighborhood and I haven't sold one box of cookies. Even Shelley Winters turned me down. Hilary: Look, what you need is a different sales strategy. Look, here's one that always worked for me: "Mister, I was going to sell you some cookies, but I tripped on your driveway and I think I broke my ankle. Could you please call my daddy? He's a lawyer. He'll know what to do."
