The Secret of My Success quotes

  • Christy Wills: [Groans in frustration] Why do you keep saying the exact opposite of what I say?

    Brantley Foster: Because you keep saying such stupid things.

  • Brantley Foster: Davidson, tell him! You wrote a memo to Mr. Thomas here explaining exactly what I'm talking about.

    Davidson: [embarrassed] Well, h-how did you know I wrote that memo?

    [all the executives look at Brantley]

    Brantley Foster: How did I know you wrote that memo? Who else could write that memo, Davidson? That memo was famous. That memo was a masterpiece. Clear, concise, to the point. That was the best damn memo I ever read! In fact, that memo wasn't even a memo. That memo was literature.

    Davidson: Well, thank you.

    Brantley Foster: You're welcome.

    Christy Wills: [dryly] If you have finished your book report, I wonder, could you explain what your point is?

    Brantley Foster: All right. Look, the point is, we gotta be bold.

    Davidson: That's my point.

    Brantley Foster: We gotta build!

    [other executives agree]

    Brantley Foster: We gotta expand!

    Davidson: Expanding is the only way to help the situation.

    Brantley Foster: We gotta make this company so damn strong, Davenport won't be able to find anyone willing to give up Pemrose stock. It'll be too damn valuable. Then we'll buy his ass out!
