Mannequin Factory Boss
You know, you could get the dummy of the week award, Switcher.
Jonathan Switcher
She turned out pretty good, didn't she?
Mannequin Factory Boss
I wasn't talking about her.
Jonathan Switcher
This job at Illustra is destroying your sense of humor. You gotta quit.
Roxie Shield
I'm not the one who can't deal with reality.
Jonathan Switcher
Reality is very disappointing.
Roxie Shield
I think you should see a professional.
Jonathan Switcher
A professional? What do you mean, a hooker?
Roxie Shield
No, I mean a psychiatrist.
Jonathan Switcher
I can't afford a psychiatrist.
Roxie Shield
Then call one of those shrinks on the radio.
Jonathan Switcher
A radio shrink? They're only good for people with problems that fit between the commercials.
Mrs. Claire Prince Timkin
If there's anything I could do for you--
Jonathan Switcher
Yeah, I could use a job.
Mrs. Claire Prince Timkin
What do you do?
Jonathan Switcher
Anything!
Mrs. Claire Prince Timkin
When can you start?
Jonathan Switcher
Uh, as soon as I finish this!
Mrs. Claire Prince Timkin
I don't know how we're going to make this store great again.
Jonathan Switcher
Looks fine to me. What time do we open?
Mrs. Claire Prince Timkin
We are open.
Jonathan Switcher
I'm sure things will pick up by lunch.
Hollywood Montrose
I am so glad you're working here!
Jonathan Switcher
You are?
Hollywood Montrose
Well, of course I am, darling. I never thought they'd hire anyone stranger than me.
Captain Felix Maxwell
Just what is your assignment here tonight, boy?
Jonathan Switcher
I'm helping Hollywood with the window.
Captain Felix Maxwell
Oh, the little Mary has an assistant now? Where do you people from come from?
Jonathan Switcher
Ohio.
Captain Felix Maxwell
Ohio? You mean they got 'em in Ohio?
Jonathan Switcher
Hollywood, I don't know about men's thighs, they look fine to me. They really do.
Hollywood Montrose
Thank you. Albert called me "cellulite city". Maybe he's right. Maybe I should have my hips lifted.
Hollywood Montrose
An artist never leaves his work unfinished.
Jonathan Switcher
It looks fine to me.
Hollywood Montrose
In that case, I'm a dream that once was.
Ema "Emmy" Hesire
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.
Jonathan Switcher
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?
Roxie Shield
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.
Jonathan Switcher
I'm not lying. I'm insane.
Jonathan Switcher
[coming out of the elevator]
Easy, Felix! I don't think she's armed!
Captain Felix Maxwell
You can fool Rambo but it won't work with me, Switcher! My brain is quicker than a club!
Jonathan Switcher
Just when I think you're real, you vanish. What's with you? What's with me?
Ema "Emmy" Hesire
Didn't I tell you? You're the only one who can see me like this.
Jonathan Switcher
It's not exactly fair, is it?
Ema "Emmy" Hesire
Talk to them.
Hollywood
Don't let Felix get to you. He just has a bad case of Miami Vice.
Jonathan
Listen, I gotta go, okay? I promised my girlfriend I was gonna take her out tonight.
Jonathan
[on seeing Emmy alive]
You know the mannequin that I made? Well, she's there! She came to life, and she knew who I was!
Roxie
You could have decided to tell me that you wanted to stand me up. Instead, you come here to me lying with this ridiculous story!
Jonathan
No, I'm not lying, I'm insane.
Roxie
Armand, let's just get out of here.
Felix
[seeing Jonathan with Emmy]
Switcher, you are one sick puppy!
Jonathan
[shocked]
No, this is how I get my inspiration. I create. And I can tell by looking at you, you're not the artistic type.
Felix
[cracks his fingers]
You know, Mr. Richards told me to keep an eye on you. But I think I'm gonna handle things my own way.
Jonathan
How do you know you're not missing something better 5,000 years from now?
Emmy
Nothing could ever be better than being here with you.
Jonathan
This is one guy who is never gonna leave your side.
Roxie
Jonathan, I wanna give you one last chance. Now, come to Illustra!
Jonathan
What is in this for you, Roxie? An office with a view? I don't need Illustra or you. I have friends here, people who care. And someone who makes me feel good about myself. Goodbye, Roxie.
Roxie
[Jonathan and Emmy leave Prince and Company on his motorcycle] [shouts after him]
You'll be sorry! You're making a serious mistake!
Jonathan
Mrs. Timkin, those video cameras. Did they pick up everything last night?
Claire
[smiles coyly]
I only saw what I needed to see.
Roxie
[to Emmy]
Just where do you come from?
Jonathan
Roxie, you would never understand.
Hollywood
[Jonathan and Emmy leave the store room before Roxie] [snaps his fingers to B.J. in a justified manner]
Mm-hmm.
