[Fletcher] I think the time has come for me to introduce you to our queen. [woman] Harold, bag. [Fletcher] A Cockney Cleopatra to Mickey's cowboy Caesar. The only weak link in his otherwise impregnable armor is his devotion, his passion, some would say his obsession with his beauteous lady wife. [woman] I'm trying to do you a favor here, Mike, but every time I do you a favor, it ends up costing me too. - [Mike over phone] Now, come on, Ros... - Why is Miss Kova still here? That Range was supposed to be finished this morning. - I'm not talking to you, Mike. - Sorry, boss. Rodge is on the Range. How many times have I told you? I don't want Roger up front. This is a sanctuary for the ladies. Where is he? He's up in your office with your husband. - [indistinct shouting] - [pounding, drilling] Misha, darling, I'll have you out of here in 20 minutes. Rosalind, I've got a spin class in half an hour. Twenty minutes and no charge. Lisa, champagne.
