Quotes

Cary: (To Rita.) Is Daisy in?
Rita: I'm sorry, Cary, but she's already left for her appointment with Kevin Curtis.
Cary: Oh, right ... right. Yeah ... that new young actor. I understand he's very good.
Lyman: Oh, come on ... acting is something anyone can do. (He stands up.) To be ... or not to be ... that is the question. (He grins at Cary.) Now I ask you ... what's Kevin Curtis got that I don't?
(Cary thinks about it for a moment.)
Cary: Talent?
(Lyman frowns and clears his throat as Cary finally smiles at him.)

Lyman: Uhhh ... excuse me, Ms. Lloyd. I believe you wanted Emma Tate's home address.
(Lyman hands Daisy a slip of paper.)
Daisy: You even found out her last name.
Lyman: I just called up the company and pretended I was interested in hiring Emma and that I needed to check out some of her references. You see, I told them her handwriting was so bad, I couldn't make out her full name.
Cary: You mean you lied to get it?
Lyman: Yeah. Well, I kinda like to think of it as ... acting, ya know?
Cary: Really? What kind of acting?
Daisy: The kind of acting that deserves an Academy Award.
Lyman: Oh, thanks Ms. Lloyd. (He looks at Cary.) Ya know, it's nice to know there's someone around here who can recognize real talent.
(Lyman leaves and Cary and Daisy look at each other, then laugh.)

(Daisy walks into Cary's office.)
Daisy: In my hand I hold two tickets to tomorrow night's premiere performance of Kevin Curtis' movie ... compliments of the star himself. Would you like to be my escort?
Cary: Well, I'm flattered you asked and delighted to accept.
Daisy: Good.
Cary: What time shall I pick you up?
Daisy: No, no ... this time I'm picking you up. And in a limousine.
Cary: Well ... also compliments of the star?
Daisy: Not exactly. It's Lyman's limo.
Cary: Lyman's limo? Where did he get a limousine?
(Lyman enters through the patio doors.)
Lyman: Now before you go thinking that I stole it, let me assure you it's only mine each night.
Daisy: Lyman Whittaker is moonlighting as a limo driver.
Lyman: Hey ... well, after a life in crime, Mr. Maxwell, I can't very well get by on what you shell out each week.
(Daisy laughs.)
Cary: Lyman, I'm really impressed with your energy and hard work. How did you get this job?
(Lyman hesitates and looks at his watch.)
Lyman: Uhhh ...
Daisy: Tell him, Lyman ...
Lyman: Easy ... I just told them, umm ... I was Mr. Maxwell's driver at Maxwell Limited.
Cary: Hmmm ... no one called for references.
Lyman: Sure they did.
Cary: I didn't talk to anyone. (He looks over at Daisy.) Did you, Daisy?
Daisy: No need to ... when they called, Mr. Whittaker just pretended to be you.
Cary: Lyman ... ?
Lyman: (Grins.) And you said I had no acting ability.
