Quotes 

  • Bill : You see, it's like the old saying, "Everybody loves a cane."

    Dave : No, Bill. I think the old saying is "Everybody loves a clown." Which is what you look like with that thing.

  • Bill : You do realize I'm just going to go and buy another cane, don't you?

    Dave : Yeah, and I'm just gonna steal it again.

    Bill : Touché. Beth?

    [from outside Dave's office, Beth tosses Bill a cane] 

    Bill : [sticking it in Dave's couch]  Here's one you can take right now.

    Bill : [Beth immediately tosses Bill another cane, which he lays on Dave's desk]  This one you can break later.

    Bill : [another cane flies in, which Bill tosses on the floor]  Here's one for the Hamptons.

    Bill : [Beth tosses Bill a fourth cane, which he tucks under his arm]  This one I like; I keep.

    Bill : [a fifth cane flies in]  This one displeases me.

    [Bill tosses it back out the door] 

  • Bill : I guess my cane is lost, and I'll just have to accept that, and get on with my life.

    Bill : [Bill starts to leave Dave's office in frustration over not having found his cane; Dave subtly steps toward the window, then pauses]  ... You stepped in front of the window...

    Dave : I did what?

    Bill : When I moved to the door, you moved in front of the window as if you were protecting something.

    Dave : OK, Bill... Bill, I'm asking you to leave.

    Bill : You taped it to the side of the building, or under the window sill! I read your book, you magnificent bastard!

    Dave : OK, Bill. I - I - I'm now - I'm now ordering you to leave!

    Bill : I'll leave - but first I'm looking out that window.

    Dave : [as Bill walks to window and pulls up blinds]  Bill, you're gonna feel pretty stupid when it's not out there.

    Bill : It's out there. I know it's out there.

    Dave : Bill?

    Bill : ...Yes, Dave?

    Dave : ...I stole your cane!

    Dave : [Dave walks to the window, reaches outside and retrieves Bill's cane from under the window sill]  Bill, I - I... I'm sorry, Bill; I - I don't know why I - I - I did it and - and - and again, I'm - I'm - I'm sorry, Bill.

    Bill : That is the most childish, immature thing I've ever seen you do.

    Dave : No, this is.

    Dave : [breaks the cane over his knee]  Ah, but you knew I was gonna do that.

    Bill : No, that one caught me by surprise.

  • Bill : [giving directions with his cane]  You, my good man, are going to get back on the elevator. Go down a floor, step out of the elevator, turn left. Walk down the hallway and the graphics art shop is 1 2 3 4 5 doors down, on the right, just open the door... And you're home!

  • Jimmy : Bill, do you have anything to add?

    Bill : Dave stole my cane, and my ass still hurts.

  • Bill : Nice out there today. Perfect cane weather.

    Dave : Well, then Central Park must be full of idiots with canes.

  • Bill : Jimmy.

    Jimmy : Recognized.

    Bill : My ass hurts.

    Jimmy : [on intercom]  Okay, Carol, bring us some cushions too. Bill's ass hurts.
