• Jack Staley : You know something? I can take a look at a kitchen and give you a pretty fair estimate of that person's income. Would you believe that?

  Margot Brenner : No, not really.

  Jack Staley : You wouldn't, huh? Okay, I'll prove it to you. I'd say your husband makes about... oh... 19 to 20,000 a year. I came pretty close, didn't I? You know that Rhoda Forbes that lives down the block? Well, I did some work for Mrs. Forbes last winter, and I guessed her husband's income right on the nose.

• Jack Staley : I kind of make it my business to know just what appeals to women.

  [pause] 

  Jack Staley : I didn't mean that the way it sounded.
