A line from Nick Hendricks [first lines, narrating]

I get to work before the sun comes up, and I leave long after it's gone down. I haven't had sex in six months with someone other than myself and the only thing in my refrigerator is an old lime. Could be a kiwi. No way to tell.

[to the forthwall]

The only hitch? I work for this guy, David Harken... who right now is giving me some old shit for killing two people. He's a total **** asshole.

Harken

If that's the case, I'm gonna have to fire Mat, our longtime security coordinator.

Nick

Ok, I may have been two minutes late.

Harken

I'm a green belt, mother****er...

Nick

What?

Harken

Yeah. All right?

Nick

Okay.

Harken

Now, I know you've been working your tail off for that promotion.

Harken

But I'm not sure I can even consider...

Harken

...making you the senior vice president of sales ... if I can't trust you.

Nick

You can trust me.

Harken

Yeah, now you sound like my wife. “You can trust me. Just trust me, honey. Nothing’s happening behind your back. Trust me, trust me, trust me.” Meanwhile, she’s **** every guy in the neighborhood.

Kohead

I have no idea why he thought you were so **** special.

Kohead

But that doesn't matter now, cause he's in the ground, and I'm your boss, and you know -there's gonna be some changes around here.

Nick

- Can't wait to hear them. [w/ big smile]

Kohead

- First things first. EnviroTech Waste Management.

Kohead

It's costing us a lot of money. [picking his ear w/ hand]

Harken

It's like you don't care about this company at all.

Kohead

No **** shit I don't care about this company. This is just an ATM to me. You think when I was a kid I dreamed of running a **** chemical company? No. I dreamed of being on a beach with a model serving me tropical drinks. That's what I dreamed of. and that's what's gonna happen...

Nick

Why would I stay after being treated like this?

Harken

Well, because I'd make sure that nobody in the industry would ever hire you again.

Nick

Bullshit.

Harken

No, because they're gonna want my letter of recommendation, right? So I'm perfectly willing to write that you are an insubordinate, dishonest drunk.

Nick

You can't do that. That's not true.

Harken

Let me tell you something, you stupid little runt. I own you. You're my bitch. Don't walk around thinking you have free will because you don't. I can crush you any time I want. So settle in because you are here for the long haul.

Dale Arbus
[at Kurt's house, he is telling Nick and Kurt his plan to meet up to set up the murderous plot]

I don't have it all figured out. I got some of it figured out.

Kurt Buckman

Okay.

Dale Arbus

So I'm gonna go home and start.

Kurt Buckman

Okay. All right? I'm gonna go home, too.

Nick Hendricks

Yeah. You are. This is your house here.

Kurt Buckman
[while Nick is taking a sip of beer]

Oh. I couldn't tell that by the way you were going in and out of my fridge, drinking my **** beer.

Kurt Buckman
[after Nick flatly spits some beer back into his bottle]

No, no...

Nick Hendricks

Enjoy.
