Frank Herlihy: Fine...

Bertram Pincus: This is how we do it, baby.

[long pause]

Frank Herlihy: You gonna finish?

Bertram Pincus: Done.

[shrugs]

Frank Herlihy: What's with the doom and gloom? It's goin' good. You're weaseling your way right in there. This is gonna work.

Bertram Pincus: This Richard fellow. I just... I think Gwen really loves him. You know, he's a human rights lawyer.

Frank Herlihy: Hey, when the devil shows up, you think he's gonna have little red horns and carry a pitchfork? No, he's gonna work for Amnesty International, and he's gonna give all his money to the homeless.

Bertram Pincus: Well, if he did all that, wouldn't he lose the title "the devil"?

Frank Herlihy: [sighs] You know what I mean. Pincus, I got better things to do with my time. I wouldn't just be hanging out here.

Bertram Pincus: What exactly is your problem with Richard?

Frank Herlihy: [regarding Gwen] You're in love with her.

[Dr. Pincus walks away]

Frank Herlihy: You are.

Frank Herlihy: You can't quit. I'll make your life a living hell.

Bertram Pincus: [stares at Frank] It already is.

[Frank walks away]

Bertram Pincus: You lied. Why would you do that?

Frank Herlihy: Because you're a heartless son-of-a-bitch who doesn't give a rat's ass about anyone but himself. She's already had one of those.

Bertram Pincus: And you're a lying, bigamist, corpse.

Frank Herlihy: No, no, I'm not a bigamist. I'm an adulterer. It's a whole different thing.
