Lee Israel: You pissed in a closet.
Jack Hock: I did what?
Lee Israel: You pissed in a closet. Now I remember. Nobody could stop talking about the English gentleman...
Jack Hock: Why thank you.
Lee Israel: Who was so shit-faced, he mistook the closet for the can. You ruined thousands of dollars worth of furs. Those old biddies didn't know what hit them!
[both laugh]
Lee Israel: Oh the disgusting furs covered in piss. Dogs followed them home!
Jack Hock: [laughing] Oh I'm glad somebody found it amusing. Some folks stopped talking to me after that night.
Lee Israel: Well, fuck 'em!

Lee Israel: Give me one good reason why that cocky shit gets three million dollars and you can't give me ten thousand? Are you that bad of an agent?
Marjorie: Toni, could you please close the door? Miss Israel have some sensitive business to discuss.
Lee Israel: Yeah, God forbid you have to hear an adult conversation, Toni!
Marjorie: I'll give you three reasons. Number one, Tom Clancy is famous.
Lee Israel: Oh, here we go!
Marjorie: Yes, you have written a couple of successful biographies and you've managed to disappear behind your subject matter. But because of that, nobody knows who you are!
Lee Israel: Because I'm doing my job!
Marjorie: Number two, Tom Clancy does every radio show. He does Larry King, he goes to book signings, he plays the game. Meanwhile, you have destroyed every bridge I have built for you.
Lee Israel: See that is beside the point, I am doing good writing!
Marjorie: Number three, nobody wants a book about Fanny Brice! There is nothing new or sexy about Fanny Brice. I couldn't get you a ten dollar advance for a book about Fanny Brice!
