Quote context

[...]

- Your types are as old as history.

- If you can't lay your dirty fingers on a decent idea, and twist it, and squeeze it into your pocket, like dogs, if you can't eat something, you bury it.

You know, I had a crazy dream last night. It was about you. I dreamt I was your father.
