Ted Hendricks Quotes in The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (2013)

Walter Mitty: Hey, do you know our motto?

Ted Hendricks: Life... I'm lovin' it.

Walter Mitty: That's not it. That's McDonald's. This thing that you do, Ted, where you come into a place and push people out, you should know those people worked really hard to build this magazine. They believed in the motto. And I get it, you've got your marching orders and you have to do what you have to do, but you don't have to be such a d*ck. Put that on a plaque and hang it at your next job.

Ted Hendricks: Oh, hey, welcome... wait, sorry, not welcome. Not an employee.

Walter Mitty: Sorry. This is the picture Sean wanted, 25. You have two days to print for cover. Here's your quintessence.

Ted Hendricks: Never fun, this stage, but we do have ahead of us the privilege of publishing what will be the very last issue of Life magazine. We just received a telegram from Sean O'Connell, who has never been willing, I'm told, to speak with the executives here. Well, he broke his long silence and shared his thoughts with us through that old man... Sean O'Connell. I expect full consideration of negative 25 for cover. My most grand. The quintessence of life... what is that?

Ted's Toner Box Associate: Best. Highest.

Ted Hendricks: So our cover will probably be the most famous ever because it will have the big quintessence of all time. Full and so rich. So let's see this thing. Let's see it. What am I doing here? What's going on?

Don Proctor: Negative assets has it. This gentleman here.

Ted Hendricks: Ah, Major Tom! Can I get that?

Walter Mitty: It's being processed.

Ted Hendricks: All right, let's do it. Let's process some quintessence. Come on. Go, now. That's why I'm clapping.
