• Marshall : They just pay me to drive the limo, sir. I'm not here to tell you who you are.

  Joe Banks : I didn't ask you to tell me who I am.

  Marshall : You were hinting around about clothes. That happens to be a very important topic to me, sir. Clothes, Mr...

  Joe Banks : Banks.

  Marshall : Banks. Clothes make the man. I believe that. You say to me you want to go shopping, you want to buy clothes, but you don't know what kind. You leave that hanging in the air, like I'm going to fill in the blank, that to me is like asking me who you are, and I don't know who you are, I don't want to know. It's taken me my whole life to find out who I am, and I'm tired now, you hear what I'm saying?

• Marshall : What kinda clothes do you got now?

  Joe Banks : Well, I got the kinda clothes I'm wearing.

  Marshall : So you got no clothes.

  Marshall : I can't do that; I got the wife and kids at the end of the day.

  Joe Banks : Yeah...

  Marshall : Listen, ain't you got nobody?

  Joe Banks : No. But there are certain times in your life when I guess you're not supposed to have anybody, you know? There are certain doors you have to go through alone.

  Marshall : ...You're gonna be all right.

• Marshall : You're coming into focus, kid!

• Marshall : Where to? Back to Staten Island?

  Joe Banks : No, no. Ah, a really nice hotel. The Plaza.

  Marshall : The Plaza's nice.

  Joe Banks : Well, where would you go?

  Marshall : I'd go to The Pierre.

  Joe Banks : Then, we are off to The Pierre.
