Jimmi Simpson: Lloyd Lowery

Quotes 

• Lloyd Lowery : [Looking at pamphlet from Marcum Institute]  He's got a PhD? A personal healing degree. You guys, he's got a personal healing degree. Please let me be in a coma and this is not real, and I'll wake up

  [closes eyes, then opens them] 

  Lloyd Lowery : now. Nope

  [closes eyes] 

  Lloyd Lowery : , now

  [opens eyes] 

  Lloyd Lowery : . No it's still here.

  Shea Daniels : Why'd you have to be like that back in there?

  Lloyd Lowery : What?

  Shea Daniels : It bothers you that much to see black people in suits instead of robbing and stealing?

  Lloyd Lowery : Okay, first of all my friend, all they're doing is robbing and stealing. And second of all, I don't think they have a hire-a-con program, so I doubt I blew any opportunities for you Shea.

  Shea Daniels : I'm gettin' sick and tired of your mouth Lowery. Those people are selling product, your problem with Ronnie, is that he's a black man making an honest living.

  Lloyd Lowery : Oh he's honest, he broke out of prison.

  Erica Reed : Oh my God, both of you shut the hell up. Shea, not everything's about race. And Lloyd, if you wanna look down your nose at salespeople, do it in your head, okay.

  Lloyd Lowery : My problem with them...

  Erica Reed : Oh my God, are you still talking?

  Lloyd Lowery : is not that they're selling, it's that they're selling bullshit, to people who think that they're getting help when they're actually getting hurt because they're not getting the help that they actually need.

  Shea Daniels : So once again, this is about your crazy little girlfriend.

  Lloyd Lowery : Okay if you refer to her like that again, I will be all over you like a honey badger out of a burlap sack, and you will win the fight Shea, but I will do some damage.

• Lloyd Lowery : [Pete walks out of the room, Lloyd walks past Erica then comes back]  I can see your lady boner.

  [Erica looks down] 

• Julianne Simms : I didn't make the connection before. This is the "Be Your Own Success Shape" guy.

  Erica Reed : You read his stuff?

  Julianne Simms : I, yeah, may have glanced at it.

  Ray Zancanelli : Well sounds like donkey dick to me. But he's got a nice business going, he clears low six figures a year.

  Lloyd Lowery : Whoa, whoa, whoa, six figures? Come on. I'm Harvard educated, my IQ's the price of a gallon of hi-test, why aren't I making that kind of money?

  Erica Reed : Because you gambled it all away.

  Lloyd Lowery : [Reading passage from Ronnie Markham's self help book]  "If you fail to strive, your self esteem will be trapped in a wrecktangle..." that's spelled W-R-E-C-K-tangle, "... and your shame sphere will overflow." Okay this is unadulterated hogwash, bunk, and balderdash. This guy has braindead acolytes filling his visitation log like a phonebook. Do you know who's in mine? My mother!
