A superstitious client of Uncle Phil takes Will under his wing as a good luck charm.

Quote from Will

Jameson: [answers phone] Yes? What? This is terrible. [hangs up]
Philip: What's the matter?
Jameson: That was my broker. Innermark stock is plummeting. It's already down 10 points. My God, it's already down to $6 a share. It's down to $5, $4, $3-
Will: Great. Hey, that's your lucky number.
Jameson: I just lost a fortune. Will, you owe me $14 million.
Will: Here's $5.
Jameson: This is serious, man. Don't you know anything?
Will: No. How many times do I have to tell you?
Jameson: Why did you tell me to buy that stock? You're out of your mind.
Will: I'm out of my mind? You're the one that's got Lassie as your vice president.

Quote from Philip

Jameson: [to Will] You're not lucky. You're unlucky. You're a curse. Get out of my office.
Philip: Hey, don't you talk to him like that.
Jameson: Excuse me?
Philip: It's your fault he's involved in this in the first place. And this isn't the first time that your craziness has got us in hot water, Jameson. Last January, on my birthday when I could have been home with my wife and family, where was l? Stuck in the office buried under paperwork because Sparky chased a Buick and you thought that was his way of telling you to take over General Motors. Well, Jameson, I am through with your craziness. If that means we lose a $20 million account, then so be it.
Henry Furth: Jameson, I think that's Philip's way of saying "l'm sorry."
Jameson: Philip, why didn't you ever say this before?
Philip: Well, I should have.
Jameson: Absolutely. I had no idea your birthday was in January. You're a Capricorn. My horoscope says a Capricorn will lead me to prosperity. Philip, you're just the goat I've been looking for. Gentlemen, welcome back.

Quote from Hilary

Hilary: Daddy, you've been a wonderful example for me. How much abuse can one person take for the sake of a job? There are lots of things about my boss that really bug me. And I've been putting up with him for a whole week. It's time to take action.
Philip: Hilary, I don't want you to go screaming at your boss.
Hilary: Can you?
