Quotes 

• [Moe is sitting in his desk, smoking while working. Suddenly, the door opens and David Greenhill enters] 

  Moe : Well, what can I do for you?

  David Greenhill : Well, I thought I might be able to... help you out with that little biography you've been writing about me. You know, maybe help fill in some of the gaps.

  Moe : Why would I be interested in you?

  David Greenhill : 'Cause I'm a remarkable fellow, Moe. You've never met anyone quite like me before.

  [David looks up places] 

  David Greenhill : God, places like these are bad for my allergies.

  Moe : Well, I don't like to throw things away.

  David Greenhill : Yeah, well, Moe, sometimes you got to get rid of the old to make way for the new. You know what I mean? I mean, let's face it. Old people, they just kind of clutter up the world. You know what I mean? They walk too slow and they talk too slow... and they drive too slow and they're always in the friggin' way. Trying to remind you about how things used to be. Pain in the butt, really.

  Moe : If you're looking for your file, I... had it copied and put in the safe-deposit box.

  David Greenhill : No. Not you, Moe. No computer, no fax, no Xerox. Mm-mm. You wouldn't have that trash in your office. Nope. It's in here somewhere.

  Moe : Well, feel free to look around. I'll be back in the morning.

  David Greenhill : Well, if you're gonna help me look for it, then this whole friggin' places gotta go.

  [Moe turns to David] 

  David Greenhill : Damn firetrap anyway. See, the way I see it, you were working late one night, and you fell asleep with one of them cigars in your hand. Stray ash... fell off and caught those newspapers on fire. You were overcome by smoke. It's better than wasting away in a hospital day after day, don't you think, Moe? I mean, really.

  Moe : What?

  [using a cigarette lighter, David lights a newspaper, and uses it to burn every file on the desk] 

  Moe : What the...

  [David continues to burn the files] 

  Moe : Crazy! Crazy animal!

  [David destroys all papers everywhere in the office] 

  Moe : Damn crazy lunatic! What the hell are you doing?

  [David knocks Moe unconscious with a phone book. The whole office is on fire. David exits the office and walk out of the building. The flames blow out of the windows and explode in the upper floor]
