[to his boss]
I'm fired, pick up my paycheck on the way out, never come back...

I must be losing my mind. I guess all artists fall in love with their work, but you just seem so... special.

Food additives. It's food additives.

Mom, lemme ask you, did I ever do anything really strange as a child?... Is there any history of insanity in the family?

Mannequin Factory Boss You know, you could get the dummy of the week award, Switcher.
She turned out pretty good, didn't she?
Mannequin Factory Boss I wasn't talking about her.
This job at Illustra is destroying your sense of humor. You gotta quit.
I'm not the one who can't deal with reality.
Reality is very disappointing.
I think you should see a professional.
A professional? What do you mean, a hooker?
No, I mean a psychiatrist.
I can't afford a psychiatrist.
Then call one of those shrinks on the radio.
A radio shrink? They're only good for people with problems that fit between the commercials.
If there's anything I could do for you--
Yeah, I could use a job.
What do you do?
Anything!
When can you start?
Uh, as soon as I finish this!
I don't know how we're going to make this store great again.
Looks fine to me. What time do we open?
We are open.
I'm sure things will pick up by lunch.
I am so glad you're working here!
You are?
Well, of course I am, darling. I never thought they'd hire anyone stranger than me.
Just what is your assignment here tonight, boy?
I'm helping Hollywood with the window.
Oh, the little Mary has an assistant now? Where do you people from come from?
Ohio.
Ohio? You mean they got 'em in Ohio?
Hollywood, I don't know about men's thighs, they look fine to me. They really do.
Thank you. Albert called me "cellulite city". Maybe he's right. Maybe I should have my hips lifted.
An artist never leaves his work unfinished.
It looks fine to me.
In that case, I'm a dream that once was.
Tonight, we'll do something different and special. Something that this store has never seen before. I just wish you didn't look so worried.
That's easy for you to say. You're a mannequin, you'll always have work. Me, I'm gonna wind up in the nuthouse after this. I wonder if insanity is covered in the employee health plan?
You could've decided to tell me that you wanted to stand me up. Instead, you come here to me lying with this ridiculous story.
I'm not lying. I'm insane.
You can fool Rambo but it won't work with me, Switcher! My brain is quicker than a club!
Just when I think you're real, you vanish. What's with you? What's with me?
Didn't I tell you? You're the only one who can see me like this.
It's not exactly fair, is it?
Talk to them.
