Who cares about Derek Zoolander anyway? The man has only one look for Christ's sake! Blue Steel? Ferrari? Le Tigre? They're the same face! Doesn't anybody notice this? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!

Mugatu

Todd! Are you not aware that I get farty and bloated with a foamy latte?

Mugatu

Let me show you Derelicte. It is a fashion, a way of life inspired by the very homeless, the vagrants, the crack whores that make this wonderful city so unique.

Mugatu
[after he pokes a girl with a pin]

Oh, I'm sorry, did my pin get in the way of your ass? Do me a favor and lose five pounds immediately or get out of my building like now!

Mugatu

As a caterpillar becomes a butterfly, so must you become Derelicte!

Mugatu

I invented the piano key neck tie! I invented it! What have you done, Derek? Nothing! YOU'VE GOT NOTHING!!! N O T H I N G ! ! !

Mugatu
[hypnotizing Derek]

Hi Derek! My name's Little Cletus. I'm just a regular kid and want you to know the real truth about child labor laws, ok? They're silly and outdated. Why, back in the 30s, children as young as five could work as they pleased; from textile factories to iron smelts. Yippee! Hurray!

Mugatu

It's that damn Hansel. He's so hot right now!

Mugatu

Do as you are trained... AND KILL THE MALAYSIAN PRIME MINISTER!

Mugatu

You have no evidence. Han-stupid destroyed everything.

Mugatu
[after Derek says the center should be bigger]

He's absolutely right.

Mugatu

Shut up! Enough already, Ballstein. Who cares about Derek Zoolander anyway? The man has only one look for Christ's sake! Blue Steel, Ferrari, Le Tigre? They're the same face! Doesn't anyone notice this?! I feel like I'm taking crazy pills! I invented the piano key necktie. I invented it! What have you done, Derek? Nothing! YOU'VE DONE NOTHING! NOTHING!! And I will be a monkey's uncle if I let you ruin this for me, because if you can't get the job done then I will. [To the Malaysian Prime Minister] DIE YOU WAGE HIKING SCUM!

[Derek looks at the model for a moment, then throws it on the floor]

What is this? A center for ants? How can we be expected to teach children to learn how to read if they can't even fit inside the building?

Mugatu

Derek, it's just a small--

I don't wanna hear your excuses! The center has to be at least... three times bigger than this!
