Garrity Quotes in The Fan (1996)

[Gil is fired from his job for his crazy behavior and lack of sales]

Gil Renard: My father started this business.

Garrity: Look, perfection and principles, they don't belong in business. Not now or then. As a friend of your father's...

Gil Renard: As a friend of my father - Keep your mouth shut. You know nothing about my father.

Gil Renard: [Gil sits down] He made this business.

Garrity: Your father made beautiful knives. San Francisco made this business.

Gil Renard: Yeah, by ripping him off.

Garrity: He wasn't a business man, Gil. And neither are you. That's the bottom line.

[Gil's boss Mr. Garrity shows Gil and his staff a demonstration of just how great their knives are]

Garrity: [Garrity drops a car door on the meeting desk] Me, I think this knife is an ass kicker.

[Garrity then stabs the car door twice, then repeatedly over a dozen times]

Garrity: [Garrity screams with the final stabs when he stops] This door, on the other hand, comes off a foreign car. Well, need I say more?

Garrity: [Garrity wipes the knife down looking back up to his staff] What are you guys still doing here?
