Theater Mgr: Sit down or go back to the fuckin' shelter.
Richie: Hey! I'm no bum, mister.
Theater Mgr: Oh yeah? Then who the hell are ya?

Skip: Were you mugged?
Richie: Yes. By God. But I took his wallet instead.

You know what? One of these days I'm going to grab you by those mutton chops and turn your head like a steering wheel mother fucker. We're not selling the company!

Richie: You have two weeks to earn your jobs back. Bring me a solo artist or a band that this label can market. I want new, fresh, fast, exciting.
Mitch: In two weeks? I mean, like, how can you put a time frame on talent?
Richie: You're right, Mitch, you can go.

I just passed up a fortune because I believe in the future, and this prick wants to bitch about time frames? The time is now! Today. This very fuckin' minute!

Richie

It's all about the songs, guys. Can you hum it? Will you remember it tomorrow? Does it make you want to call the radio station and ask who the band they just played was? Think back. Think back to the first time you heard a song that made the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, made you want to dance, or fuck or go our and kick somebody's ass! That's what I want! In two weeks.

Richie

Jamie: So don't I get points for initiative?
Richie: Horatio Alger.
Jamie: So you want me to suck your dick?
