Quotes
-
[Becker, Markowitz, and Kelsey are loudly arguing over which one of them will get the late Norman Chaney's office]
Arnie Becker : I had dibs on this office the day he croaked!
Stuart Markowitz : Forget it, Arnie! It doesn't work that way!
Ann Kelsey : You move in here Arnie, and I will scratch the paint off your Porsche!
[McKenzie enters]
Leland McKenzie : SHUT UP!
[Becker, Markowitz and Kelsey are now silent]
Leland McKenzie : Do you realize that your bickering can be heard throughout the complex? Keep this in mind: if you three cannot find some mature and intelligent matter in which to settle this within the next three minutes, this office will be turned into a conference room!
[McKenzie exits and closes the office door shut]
Arnie Becker : All right. Under the circumstances and given the absence of time, there is only one way to settle this.
Ann Kelsey : What?
[Becker removes his suit jacket and holds out his clenched fists]
Stuart Markowitz : Arnie!
Arnie Becker : Come on, we haven't got a lot of time. Get 'em out there. Get them out!
[Markowitz and Kelsey hold out their fists and it is shown that they are playing 'potatos']
Arnie Becker : One potato/two potato/three potato/four. Five potato/six potato/seven potato/more.
[to Kelsey]
Arnie Becker : Out. One potato/two potato/three potato/more. Five potato/six potato/seven potato... more.
Stuart Markowitz : [to Becker; smirks] Out.
