The Drop Quote

Bob: Biggest day in the world tomorrow, I can't get you on the phone.
Cousin Marv: Oh yeah, yeah I forgot to tell you, I don't feel good... so I'm not coming in. Call the BarTemps.
Bob: I did already. Super Bowl. We always use them.
Cousin Marv: So what you need me for?
Bob: I don't. But... you're blowing off the biggest tip day of the year.
Cousin Marv: What, I work for tips now? [pauses]
Cousin Marv: You ever go to the front of the bar and take a look at the sign on the bar? Whose name is on it? That's my name. 'Cause I used to own it once.
Bob: Yeah, you been playing that flute for a long time now.
Cousin Marv: And you've been awfully fresh since you got that dog you mistake for a kid.
Bob: Marv, you can't redo it. All right? They pressed, you blinked. It's done. It's over. It's been over for a while now.
Cousin Marv: Well, I'm not the guy who wasted his entire life waiting for it to start.
Bob: I did that?
Cousin Marv: At least I had something once. I was respected. I was feared! When I walked into a place, people sat up. They sat up straight. They noticed! What'd you ever have?
Cousin Marv: And the fucking bar stool you put that old biddy at! You bought her free drinks and don't you think I know you did it on purpose? That was my stool, and nobody sat on that stool because it was cousin Marv's stool! And that meant something! That meant something!
Bob: But it didn't. Ever. It was just a stool.
