Movie quotes

  • (..) Up to her office? Go to the building. She goes out to lunch, doesn't she? - I guess. - So you stand in the lobby... ...by the elevator and wait for her to come down for lunch. You mean stake out the lobby? Morty, that's ridiculous. Just ask Elaine for the number. He doesn't want to ask Elaine for the number. So you got him standing by the elevator like a dope. - What happens when he sees her? - He pretends he bumped into her. You know what? This is not that bad an idea. - What does she look like? (..)
