David: I wondered why I was suddenly being treated with so much respect.
Linus: Is something bothering you David?
David: You've been pushing me into this relationship with Elizabeth so you could engineer a merger with Tyson.
Linus: Pushing you? I could burn in hell for the lies I told about you. You begged me to make you look good in front of Elizabeth.
David: You never said a word about planning to make an offer to Patrick.
Linus: "Talk about my accomplishments," you said. "My qualities, be creative, lie!" you said.
David: I can't do this, Linus. I'm not ready to make this kind of commitment.
Linus: Oh, I see. She must have asked for an actual wedding date.
David: I don't know what came over me. She was healing children; I was in a tuxedo I'm notin any position totake care of a wife.
Linus: Elizabeth is a doctor and a millionaire, David. She won't be a burden. You don't deserve her, but she appears to love you.
David: Yeah, see, doesn't that worry you a little bit? I mean about her mental health?
Linus: David.
David: So this is all just a coincidence?
Linus: It's an opportunity.
David: Opportunity?
Linus: What do you expect me to do?Disqualify myself froma billion dollar merger because I might have family connections?
David: What are you doing? It was just a question!
Linus: Look at this thing. Not a scratch.
David: Is this some new way of changing the subject?
Linus: No one in the world has a flat panel screen this size, except Patrick Tyson. And the damn thing's indestructible. He'ssitting onthe hottest technology in town and everyone in Wall Street knows it. We've got so much competition on this merger that...
David: Wait a minute Linus. You're talking about my life.
Linus: I pay for your life, David. My life makes your life possible.
David: I resent that.
Linus: So do I. Look at yourself. You went to law school, you never took the bar. You went to business school, I can't get you anywhere near the office. You studied languages, you don't speak. Instruments, you don't play. You have a series of girlfriends, you never see more than twice. Do you not see apatternhere?
David: Who are you to lecture me about closeness? Your idea of a long-term relationship is giving your date a chance to order dessert.
Linus: I don't have time for dessert. I'm too busy with this company. You're a grown man, David. Finish something. Elizabeth Tyson's the best thing that ever happened to you, and you told me so yourself.
