Taylor Donohue : Uh, so, basically, you don't know anything about show business or anything. You're like a babe in the woods, is that right?
Leo Matuzik : Like I said, I just wanna be honest with you - I don't know a lot of all this kind of stuff.
Donald Swan : And just keep in mind, we don't know anything about sheet-metal work, so, you know, it all balances out.
Leo Matuzik : You stand there for 30 years of your life grinding the same goddamn holes all day.

Taylor Donohue : This is, also, Leo Matusik.

Leo Matuzik : [confused] Yeah.
Anita Levine : Do you know your name?
Leo Matuzik : Sure.
Anita Levine : Okay, what day is it?

Donald Swan : By ignoring the Commander's past history, you're really missing out on a huge portion of people that like and acknowledge the old one and would come to see your new version.
Taylor Donohue : [not listening] Mm-hm.
Donald Swan : That's what I want - just some acknowledgement. I mean, if you get a feeling for how the fans really are passionate in a way that you can't get in these focus groups, um, I think it might, you know, set the project on the right trajectory.
Taylor Donohue : You... are verbiage. You are verbiage.

Taylor Donohue : [hands Leo his cell phone] It's Ricky.
Leo Matuzik : [into phone] Deflect. D-Deflect.
Taylor Donohue : That's good. Does he feel the moment? Ask him if he feels the moment.
Leo Matuzik : Do you feel the moment? Deflect, man. I'm deflecting. I'm, uh - I'm in charge. I'm in control. I'm gonna go away and you're gonna feel good about talking to me.
Taylor Donohue : [takes phone] Don't spit on my phone. You're good.
