The Telescope (2014)

Anjelica Huston: Angela Diaz

Quotes 

• Angela Diaz : I'm not gonna waste your time with small talk because you work for me, and your time is my time. We're letting Herb go.

  Angela Diaz , BoJack Horseman : I/you can't do that.

  Angela Diaz : I'm not asking you. It's nothing personal. I like Herb. I think he's a good guy. But this is a business and every day we don't fire him, we're flushing money down the crapper.

  Angela Diaz , BoJack Horseman : Well, if he goes, I/you go.

  Angela Diaz : I wouldn't do that. BoJack, I think you're a star, and sometimes, being a star means making tough choices. You can storm out, make a big show out of what a "good" friend you are, or you could be the guy who does his job.

  BoJack Horseman : Angela...

  Angela Diaz : I'll tell you when it's your turn to talk again. Look, you're a star, but this is really just the beginning of the BoJack Horseman story. You can choose whatever path you want, but I'll tell you right now. You don't win awards and you don't get to be on the covers of magazines and you don't get to play the lead role in the "Secretariat" movie by being a good friend. What's that old expression about how the show must go on? Oh, right. It's "Don't be an idiot." So what do you think, BoJack? That's a courtesy question. I already know what you think because I have conversations like this one five times a day. I know who you are, and I know you've already made your decision, but if you want to surprise me, now's the time to do it.

  BoJack Horseman : [no response] 

  Angela Diaz : That's what I thought. You're doing the right thing. I know it's hard. But if Herb's really your friend, he'll understand. Now, you've got a show to put on, so I'll let you get ready. This was a good conversation. Productive. If you're lucky, I'll never talk to you again.
