Linda : As long as we have each other we don't need anything else.

Lenny : I'm making money so fast over at Max's, they can't keep track of it. Everybody in town thinks I'm a firecracker. And even after all this, my own WIFE still thinks I'm a BUM!
Linda : I think you're a GENIUS. I just don't want you to feel like you're on a treadmill... having to make more and more money to pay for things we bought but don't need.
Lenny : The way things are going, the money going out won't be missed if it NEVER comes back. When you get to where we are, NOTHING can touch you.

Linda : [at dinner with Ned] ... Lenny told me about the mistake today. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was sort of counting on that sale to break into the business.
Lenny : [to Linda] That doesn't mean anything to Ned.
Ned : What doesn't mean anything?
Lenny : Hustling for money. You're above all that.
Ned : I worry about money, just like everybody else.
Lenny : But you got some backstops. You start falling down that well, you got some slats across to catch yourself, right? You got your professor-father. You got an education. You got the Financial Journal. You can't fall too far. My old man's an ex-printer on disability! My mother is a secretary for the Ladies Garment Workers Union! I'VE GOT A HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION!
