Rear Window (1998 TV Movie)

John Rothman: Franklin Porter

Quotes 

• Jason : You know, I always wondered what went on over there during the day. Nothing much. But anyway, time to get back to work on the Woolrich project. Starting tomorrow, I'll be on it again full time.

  Roy Mason : Jason, the site's already been excavated. They're pouring the foundation as we speak. They begin framing next week.

  Jason : Now wait a minute here, how did that happen?

  Franklin Porter : We had to reassign it.

  Jason : We made an agreement in the hospital.

  Franklin Porter : What can I tell you? The client...

  Roy Mason : Insisted. Wasn't confident you'd return to work with all your... former resources intact.

  Jason : So who'd you give it to?

  Roy Mason : Claudia Henderson. She's the new girl.

  Franklin Porter : Actually, she is very talented.

  Jason : Well, that's good, because then you won't have any problem giving her something else to do, 'cause I'm back with my resources intact, and the Woolrich Center is mine. Antonio.

  [Antonio starts to wheel him out] 

  Jason : I don't believe you two.

• Roy Mason : We can give Woolrich back to you, if...

  Jason : Yeah, you sure can. You don't have a choice.

  Franklin Porter : But we're not gonna take it away from Claudia. She's been working her ass off for six months, and I got to tell you, the client is very happy with the work she's been doing.

  Jason : Ah, you guys didn't waste much time, did you? Did you give the job away while I was on the operating table 'cause you didn't think I'd survive the surgery? Is that it?

  Franklin Porter : Look, Jason, we didn't know what would happen. You're gonna have to learn to work with her. I'm sorry.

  Roy Mason : Look on the bright side. Somebody's got to do all those boring lunches with the client.

  Jason : Oh, the bright side. Interesting way to describe stabbing me in the back.

• Jason : What's going on up there?

  Franklin Porter : Major renovation. Putting together 10,000 square feet for Spartina Gallery.

  Roy Mason : Spending some real dough.

  Jason : Whoa. Who's the architect?

  Roy Mason : Hollingsworth.

  Jason : Bud Hollingsworth? He couldn't design the stalls in a men's room.
