Quotes 

• Miles Drentell : Nobody wants to be unpopular. That's why we're here. That's the dance of advertising. We help people become popular. Through popularity comes acceptance. Acceptance leads to assimilation. Assimilation leads to bliss. We calm & reassure. We embrace people with the message that we are all in it together. That our leaders are infallible and there's nothing, absolutely nothing wrong. That's what we do. It's what we've always done... In return for our humanitarian service, we are made rich.

• Miles Drentell : You don't look well. Have you been sleeping properly?

  Michael Steadman : [who wasn't gotten actual sleep in days]  Like a top.

  Miles Drentell : [to himself]  "Like a top"...

• Miles Drentell : Life can be as simple as a fall. It's all so easy once you let go.
