“Harry, if you filled me in a little bit, once in a while, did you...” – Stan, The Conversation ... Movie Quotes Database

Stan

Harry, if you filled me in a little bit, once in a while, did you ever think of that?

Harry

It has nothing to do with me and even less to do with you.

Stan

It's curiosity. Did you ever hear of that? It's just god-damned human nature.

Harry

Listen, if there's one sure-fire rule that I have learned in this business is that I don't know anything about human nature. I don't know anything about curiosity. That's not part of what I do. This is my business.
