The following quote was taken from a script for the upcoming movie sequel "A Few Good Modelers" starring Jack Nicholson
_________________________________________________________
Jack Nicholson (Col. Jessup): Son, we live in a world that has hobby items, and those hobby items have to be acquired by men with industry connections. Whose gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I have more responsibility here than you could possibly fathom. You weep for a bad kit, and you curse the manufacturer. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That a bad kit, while tragic, probably saves glue. And that my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves money.
I know deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you don't want
me on that vendor table, you need me on that vendor table.
We use words like list price, release date, discount. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent acquiring things. You use them as a
punch-line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself
to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very goods I
provide, then question the manner in which I provide it. I prefer you said
thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up an Exacto knife, and stand to post.
Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!
