  Mike Lansdown : Are you any good?

  Greg Nolan : As a lover?

  Mike Lansdown : As a photographer!

• Mike Lansdown : Get rid of that suit. I can't stand to see men wearing ties. Its bad for the circulation. And always remember: bottoms up.

• Mike Lansdown : [in his office, lying face down on a massage table with nothing on but a towel, getting a simultaneous rub down, manicure and pedicure]  Running a magazine of this magnitude requires me to be mentally alert at all times. I try keeping the blood circulating, blood goes to the brain: alert! I also find I have very little time to waste, Nolan; so, what is the truth?

  [masseuse starts walking on his back] 

  Greg Nolan : Mr. Landsdown...

  Mike Lansdown : Call me Mike. I hate formalities.

  Greg Nolan : Mike, the truth is: I need a job.

  [Mr. Landsdown starts laughing] 

• Mike Lansdown : I am not an unreasonable man. Do you think I'm an unreasonable man?

  Greg Nolan : No, Mike, you're not unreasonable.

  Mike Lansdown : Well, as a matter of fact, I'm quite a reasonable man.

• Mike Lansdown : Find yourself a girl. Find two or three. Find five.

  Greg Nolan : There sure are a lot of them around.

  Mike Lansdown : I always invite five girls to one man. A matter of principal.

  Greg Nolan : Kinda hard on the girls, isn't it?

  Mike Lansdown : Listen, Greg, this is a man's world and I'm gonna keep it that way; because, that's the way the birds like to nest.
