- Carlie Kirkland: Don't you like anything new?
- Thomas Banacek: You're new... at least to me.
- Carlie Kirkland: You know what I mean.
- Thomas Banacek: It's not a question of "old" or "new," it's a question of good or bad. We've got about, maybe, ten years of "new," and thousands of years of "old."
- Carlie Kirkland: Meaning?
- Thomas Banacek: Well, the odds are there are more good "old" things than good "new" ones.
- Thomas Banacek: There's an old Polish proverb that says,"If your socks are not in your shoes, don't look for them in Heaven."
- Carlie Kirkland: You jealous, even a bit?
- Thomas Banacek: [smoothly] Of course. What you're seeing is a tremendous effort at self-control. Can't you tell?
- Geoff Holden: Got yourself a real fine woman here, Banacek.
- Thomas Banacek: Certainly one of the top thirty.
