David B. Nichols: Mr. Smith

Quotes 

• David Powell : What are you, some kind of barfly shrink?

  Mr. Smith : No, not really. My specialty's problem solving, you could call me a contractor.

  David Powell : Well thank you, I don't need any therapy or aluminum siding, or life insurance tonight.

  Mr. Smith : You're right, what you need to do is eliminate that problem.

• Mr. Smith : Now here's what I want you to understand; you and this decision, it's like a marriage, only this is forever and you are wedded. So I'm going to ask you one more time, are you sure? Do you really want to do it?

  David Powell : I do.

  Mr. Smith : Very well, you may kiss the bride.

• David Powell : Will it be violent?

  Mr. Smith : What do you think I'm going to do, go in there and shoot her in the head or something? Look, it'll be done, tomorrow.
