“Whatever shall I do? You see, the modern ownership of movables is reducing us again to a nomadic horde. We are reverting to a civilization of luggage, Mr. Wilcox.”

“We better check on mother and the cats. She’s a lot of fun, I hope she doesn’t die. I hate to spend another winter here though. Oh God, another winter.”
-
“Oh, you remember the awful things they said about what’s-her-name before she jumped out the window? There. You see? I can’t even remember her name so who cares?”

-
“Now Woody, he’s been my pal for as long as I can remember. He’s brave, like a cowboy should be. And kind, and smart. But the thing that makes Woody special, is he’ll never give up on you… ever. He’ll be there for you, no matter what.”

“We need to send the message that we have a new culture here now. Where people should, of course, feel free to leave at 5:30 and be with their families. No one is going to be overworked like in the past. No more unpleasant incidents. But, of course, it’s not compulsory. And obviously, if people still have work to do, they should absolutely stay and continue to work. But it’s not strictly enforced. Although we still do want to meet quotas. So if we can do that, just remembering, you know, we are running a business here, so “let your conscience guide you” kind of thing. Yeah? Good.”
-
“People being evicted, people losing their spaces, people getting kicked out, people getting priced out, it was just sorta something kinda happening. The mall comes, totally remakes your neighborhood, you adjust. It doesn’t adjust to you. You adjust to it. And it was impossible to not see the apartment project through that lens.”
