Quote #4

AARONOW: I had to […] To get on the… (1.2.16-18)

Poor Aaronow had to take a nothing lead to try to get on the board, and went out and tried to sell to people he knew would never buy. That's how desperate the competition has made him. Still, he's not willing to take the steps that some of the others are willing to take to win. Does this make him weak, or does this make him the last guy with any sense of humanity left in the office?

Quote #5

ROMA: Don't f*** with me, fella. I'm talking about a f***in' Cadillac car that you owe me. (2.1.22-23)

Quick note: Roma says this to a cop. Yep, a cop. Do not get in the way of slick Rick when he has won.

Quote #6

ROMA: Lingk puts me over the top. (2.1.63)

People are nothing more than sales to Roma, and sales are just a means to beating everyone around him. Keep that in mind when Lingk comes back. Roma will do whatever he can to make a sale, including trying to talk a man out of doing what that man thinks is best for him and his wife.
