  Charlie Bloom : Big? Big? Never. No. But my clients couldn't pay, so I guess, uh, progressive.

• Charlie Bloom : I am Joe Mondragon's lawyer. And he has certain rights with which I'm sure you are familiar. And if you go after him and shoot him down like a dog, or even manhandle him in the least little bit, I'll hang you by your balls, even if I have to go to the Supreme Court to do it!

• Ruby Archuleta : Would you at least go to the meeting? How could it hurt you?

  Charlie Bloom : I don't know yet. Probably in a way that I'm overlooking right now.

• Charlie Bloom : Your taxes are gonna go sky high. And it is doubtful - very, very doubtful - that any of you will be holding the new, higher-paying jobs. Unless, of course, you happen to be a golf pro.

• Charlie Bloom : Wake up, Ruby! It's not the '60s. Nobody gives a shit anymore.

  Ruby Archuleta : I do!

• Charlie Bloom : Wait a minute. Where the hell ya goin'?

  Joe Mondragon : Pick beans.
