- Dennis: [to Rebecca, about his boss Martin Teal] He's fair but firm, and hates 'yes men'.
- Martin Teal: Thank you, Dennis.
- Dennis: Yes sir.
- Rebecca Howe: ...I'm not going out with you.
- Sam Malone: Ah, come on... But why?
- Rebecca Howe: Because I'm concentrating on my career.
- Sam Malone: That's fine. But before you make the final decision on this, let's try this. Have sex with me twenty-five times, and if at the end of the night you're still not sure, I won't say another thing.
- Rebecca Howe: No, Sam. Look, I have wasted too much time. I'm not getting any younger, and I've made a decision to only date men who can help my career.
- Sam Malone: You know, they have a name for women like that.
- Rebecca Howe: Yeah: Vice-President.
- Sam Malone: So, how did your meeting go?
- Rebecca Howe: It was very nice. I met the new boss, Mr. Teal. We exchanged pleasantries. You're no longer the co-manager and have been demoted to just bartender.
- Sam Malone: Demoted? Just like that? What, the company didn't have the courtesy to give me a phone call?
- Carla LeBec: By the way, Sammy, you had a phone call this afternoon. You've been demoted.
- Sam Malone: Why didn't you tell me?
- Carla LeBec: What do I look like, an answering service for bartenders?
- Rebecca Howe: You know, Martin could pick up the phone and get a reservation at any top restaurant in Boston at a moment's notice.
- Sam Malone: Oh, and I can't?
- Rebecca Howe: Well, pick up the phone and get me a reservation at ah... , Chez Maurice.
- Sam Malone: I already said I can't. But I do have an in at Shea Stadium though.
- Rebecca Howe: ...it wouldn't be in my best interest to say no.
- Sam Malone: Oh, please. You don't have the guts to say no to this guy.
- Rebecca Howe: That is absolutely not true. I choose to not have the guts to say no to this guy.
