Quote
"I told you, Dave. I never lose."
"Dave, we go way back. We both come a long way since college. You, not so much. I wanted to like that song, but you heard it. Not that good. If I wasn't your friend, I'd say, 'Dave, you go right back out of this office and you keep writing music. You'll get there someday.' But I am your friend, so I'm going to tell you that there is no sense in writing songs that no one is ever, ever, going to sing." "It's tempting to blame Dave. I know. I've been there. I wish I could get back all those years I spent plotting my revenge. All that time and energy, wasted. All those pizzas I had delivered to his house, wasted." Not now, Dave! All right? You could let Dave fall to his death and I could go back to the raft and the chipmunks, become their manager again and make tons of money. So, really, I'm good either way. But let me tell you something. Hate, Anger, Regret, those aren't just members of a girl group I once signed. They're what consumed me. And they're consuming you. It's not too late to do the right thing.
