Easy for you to say. You're not the one he spends tortured nights dreaming about.
He said that?
Nah, I'm just assuming.

Jim, you changed your name TO Ignatowski?
Yeah, you know... it was the 60s and everyone was changing their names to stuff like Sunshine, Free, Moon Unit...
Well Jim, why Ignatowski?
Say it backwards.
Iskwotangi.
Uh oh, that's not even close to Starchild, is it?
Ignatowski's got a father? There goes my spore theory!
[talking on the phone with his agent about a possible acting role] Yeah I understand. Thanks for calling.
[puts down the phone followed by a long pause with his head down]
Oh, come on already, the suspense is killing me! Did you get it or not?
Banta, sometimes I wish you were smarter just so you know how dumb you are!
It's so quiet up here you can hear yourself think.
I don't hear anything.
[Jim hits his head]
Jim, are you alright?
Yeah... who are you?
I'm Alex. We're friends, we work together.
What are we, lumberjacks?
No, we're cabdrivers.
I bet we don't do much business up here!
Ooh, there are a nice little surprise inside.
What are you talking about?
Well, I could be wrong, but I detect something in here that's a lot more powerful than oatmeal.
I love this. A duel of wits between unarmed opponents.
Maybe I'm insensitive but I don't see what the problem is, you know, I can't imagine missing that sport.
Elaine, boxing is Tony's life. I mean it would be like me if I had to give up acting.
But when you act, no one gets brutalized.
Only the playwright and anyone trapped in the theater.
We got to tell him that boxing, it destroys your brain, it damages your nervous system, and it leaves you a stumbling, disoriented, pathetic wreck.
And if that's what he wants, there are easier ways of getting there.
Dress is optional... He means how we dress, not if we dress, right?
No, I don't think so.
Why?
[showing Elaine his invitation] Yours is the only one that says that.
[as he hands out invitations] Bobby, do you spell your name with one "o" or two?
One.
I'll get it right next time, "Booby".
[as a traveling salesman] I'm "Fill in your name," but you can call me "Nickname."
I have dreams that come true.
So you're psychic?
Yeah, yeah, I'm psychic. I didn't tell you guys about it before, because I didn't want you to think I was offbeat or something.
[Louie's worried about a prediction that Alex will perish under strange circumstances] Louie, if I'm going to die, I'm going to die as I've lived, dancing the can-can in a green shirt and a catcher's mask.
