Lucca: There’s no purchase there, sir.
Firth: How do you mean?
Lucca: She’s just lonely from her divorce. She wants a friend.
Firth: You not want to go?
Lucca: No, I just… I want to be useful to the firm.
Firth: Then go. You’ll earn $850 an hour, including travel. More importantly, you’ll keep our top client happy.
Lucca: I feel like I’m being prostituted, sir.
Firth: For 10 years, Marlon Brando wanted me by his side on his island Teriaroa just in case any legal issues came up. There were no legal issues ever. All I did all day was sit on the beach and drink Mai Tais. Know why he wanted me there? A year earlier, I had made a funny “knock-knock” joke in a meeting. I made him laugh. The rich are not like us. They are the cheapest people on earth until they want a friend. She wants a friend, so I need you to go and be that friend.

Diane: This is different. This is… this isn’t about politics.
Kurt: I just don’t…
Diane: What?
Kurt: I don’t want to lose you.
Diane: I don’t want to be lost.
