Dan Powers Quotes in The Last Days of Disco (1998)

Des McGrath: Do yuppies even exist? No one says, "I am a yuppie," it's always the other guy who's a yuppie. I think for a group to exist, somebody has to admit to be part of it.

Dan Powers: Of course yuppies exist. Most people would say you two are prime specimens.

Dan Powers: Reincarnation - life after death - mumbo-jumbo of all kinds has been highly commercial throughout the history of book publishing. The first printed book... was the Bible.

Dan Powers: Well, aesthetically.

Alice Kinnon: Oh, well - *aesthetically*.

Charlotte Pingress: Well, who is?

Dan Powers: I probably wouldn't get in, anyway.
