Niki Trumbo : We're having birthday cake.
Dalton Trumbo : When you hear me working, you don't knock.
Niki Trumbo : But it's my birthday.
Dalton Trumbo : You don't knock. Ever.
Niki Trumbo : So the house is on fire, you don't wanna know?
Dalton Trumbo : I work in a bathtub, surrounded by water. So I'm fairly certain that even if the whole goddamn country was on fire, that I can still function as this family's personal slave. And all I ask is not to be interrupted for every little slice of fucking birthday cake. What? It's ridiculous!
