the leads are weak

I saw Glengarry Glen Ross years after I should have, but am glad I finally got around to it. There's a bit of swearing, but otherwise it's fun for the whole family. That said, childen under the age of 4 will not be admitted to the Royale Theatre, where a revival of the Mamet play is being put on. You wanna go? Great. You wanna take me? Tickets, it should not surprise me, are expensive. So in lieu of that, one of my favorite lines. ever:


Blake: You call yourself a salesman, you son of a bitch?

Moss: I don't have to listen to this shit.

Blake: You certainly don't pal. 'Cause the good news is -- you're fired. The bad news is you've got, all you got, just one week to regain your jobs, starting tonight. Starting with tonights sit. Oh, have I got your attention now? Good. 'Cause we're adding a little something to this months sales contest. As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac Eldorado. Anyone want to see second prize? Second prize's a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're fired. You get the picture? You're laughing now? You got leads. Mitch and Murray paid good money.

What's your name?

Eff you. That's my name. You know why, mister? 'Cause you drove a Hyundai to get here tonight, and I drove an $80,000 BMW. That's my name.
