Quotes of The Box

Dana: Somebody pushing your buttons?

Norma Lewis: You sure do ask a lot of questions.
Walter Lewis: And now you're avoiding them.

Martin Teague: Sir? If you don't mind my asking... why a box?
Arlington Steward: Your home is a box. Your car is a box on wheels. You drive to work in it. You drive home in it. You sit in your home, staring into a box. It erodes your soul, while the box that is your body inevitably withers... then dies. Where upon it is placed in the ultimate box, to slowly decompose.
Martin Teague: It's quite depressing, if you think of it that way.
Arlington Steward: Don't think of it that way... think of it as a temporary state of being.

Arlington Steward: I'm sorry, but I have a very busy day.

Arlington Steward: I have an offer to make. If you push the button, two things will happen. First, someone, somewhere in the world, whom you don't know, will die. Second, you will receive a payment of one million dollars. You have 24 hours.

Arlington Steward: I hope you aren't playing detective. I have quite a few employees.

Arlington Steward: There are always consequences.

Arthur Lewis: You never really believed in Santa Claus, did you?
Walter Lewis: Not Full Quotes >>
