Andrew Klein, Ari Gold and others in “The Sorkin Notes”

Act as if you have faith, and fate shall be given to you.

Ari Gold

This is pathetic.

He's quoting me. It's the West Wing, the Assassination episode.

I had more of your quotes. I had a lot of ideas, amazing, brilliant ideas, but I couldn't get into my house. My wife wouldn't let me get them and I blew that chance. I blew my marriage and if I blew this with you, I'd blow my career too.

Ari

I'm sorry, Aaron-[Sorkin gestures him to let Andrew speak]

I drove into my own house for you Aaron. My own, uninsured, overpriced Beverly Hills motherfucking home. I took my car, and I put it into gear, and I drove it [cracking voice] right into my own goddamn living room...for you. Who else would do that? [cries]

[taps screen] I had a rough divorce too. I get it. [pause] We'll give it a shot.

Really?

Yeah, but if he [points to Ari] ever calls me, I'm gone. [hangs up and leaves]
