Quotes[]
- Helen Chapel - "I gotta admit, I'm a little disappointed. I thought Alex had better taste in men than to go out with you."
Brian Hackett - "Well, obviously, she doesn't."
- Brian Hackett - "You're not going to believe what happened to me--"
Joe Hackett - "I don't want to hear about your conquest of Alex."
Brian Hackett - "No, no, no, I didn't sleep with Alex. I sank Lowell's boat."
Joe Hackett - "Oh...Thank God!"
- Lowell Mather - "Don't try to cover up. I figured out what your plan was."
Brian Hackett - "You did?"
Lowell Mather - "Yes. You were going to wait for me to sign my weekly time card, forge my signature on that check and then take my money and run of to the Caribbean. Where then you'd buy a beachfront property in the tax free Cayman Islands, all the while living like kings as you smuggled guns and cigarettes to revolutionaries in South America just waiting for Castro to fall so you could return gambling to Cuba exploiting, like the cutthroats before you, a once-proud people."
Joe Hackett - "Actually Lowell, we did it because we wanted you to stay with us a little longer."
Lowell Mather - "Haha. You expect me to believe a story like that?"
