Quotes 

• Nina Van Horn : Everyone is so quick to blame the absentee father, but let me tell you something: it's casual wear that's ruining this society.

• Jack Gallo : [Asking which staff member would agree to act as Santa]  How about you, Nina? You like bouncing young men on your lap.

  Nina Van Horn : No, I couldn't.

  Jack Gallo : Are you sure?

  Nina Van Horn : I'm quite certain. The judge was most explicit on that point.

• Maya Gallo : I happen to think some people look good in casual.

  Nina Van Horn : Like who?

  Maya Gallo : Well, like me.

  Nina Van Horn : Good God, that's a fashion statement? I thought you were just allergic to everything else.

• Nina Van Horn : Maya, Maya. Poor, naive woman-child Maya.

• Maya Gallo : [Nina comes wearing casual wear]  Nina, look at you!

  Nina Van Horn : You'll never guess who I met last night. J. Crew!

  Maya Gallo : Huh?

  Nina Van Horn : Yes, Maya, there is a J. Crew. And he helped me rediscover the true spirit of casual wear. I walked to work, and I was warm and comfortable in a way I haven't felt since I was a little girl.

  Maya Gallo : But...

  Nina Van Horn : I know you don't believe me, but J. Crew lives inside each and every one of us.

  Maya Gallo : Nina, I called the company, and you were right. There is no J. Crew. There never was. He doesn't exist.

  Nina Van Horn : Then who the hell did I sleep with last night?

• Bartender : What'll you have?

  Nina Van Horn : Something Christmassy, say... double scotch on the rocks.

  Bartender : Why is that Christmassy?

  Nina Van Horn : What are you, a priest? Just pour.

• Nina Van Horn : You're joking, right?

  Elliot DiMauro : What do you mean?

  Nina Van Horn : That's not a Christmas tree. It's all scrawny and anemic and it looks like it hasn't seen daylight in months.

  Elliot DiMauro : So do you!

• Nina Van Horn : We live in a world gone mad! I swear I'd sleep with the next man I see wearing a hat.

  [Elliot enters wearing a beret] 

  Dennis Finch : Run, dude!
