Ken Finkleman: George Findlay

Quotes 

• Pat Stewart : [George Findlay is eating all alone at a popular restaurant. Pat Stewart, from a competing television station, sees him and has started a conversation with him, when he sees Don Shaw, a TV executive, enter the restaurant]  Is that Don Shaw over there? There's a lot of talk that he's starting up another all-news Channel. You think it stands a chance?

  George Findlay : Are you kidding? Never. Toilet.

  [Pat Stewart leaves. Don Shaw stops by George's table a moment later] 

  Don Shaw : George, right?

  George Findlay : Don Shaw! How are you doing? Listen, this news channel I heard you're starting up... I just think it's going to be a slam dunk... It's going to be brilliant.

• Restaurant Hostess : Are you still waiting for your party sir?

  George Findlay : Oh no, he's dead.

  Restaurant Hostess : Oh No! What happened? I'm sorry!

  George Findlay : He was killed in a car crash on his way over here. I think I'd better have the check.

  Restaurant Hostess : No, not today. Not after whay you've been through. Your lunch is on us, sir.

  George Findlay : Oh Really? Thank you.

  [Hostess starts to leave] 

  George Findlay : Oh, excuse me... I come here a lot, you know that lobster appetizer you have here? It costs $25-30? I have never tried that and would love to try that. Do you think I could get that now?

  Restaurant Hostess : [Befuddled]  Ok... I'll tell the waiter.
