Jack Conrad: Elinor, you peddle gossip. You don't make anything. You don't know what it is to put yourself out there. You're just a cockroach. I've been counted out before. This isn't new to me.

And the roaches, knowing this, crawl back into the dark, lay low, and make it through. See, but you, you held the spotlight. It's those of us in the dark, the ones who just watch, who survive.

Another romance, another breakup. I'm tired, Fay. [long pause] It's okay. It's okay. I've been the luckiest bastard in the world. I had a good run, didn't I? Hmm? Lady Fay Zhu: You sure did. Jack Conrad: Yeah. I enjoyed that.
