Green : Selling a diamond to a woman is like making her fall in love. She has to
feel giddy,
desirous, adventurous, and desperate.
Spears : Take a look around this room,
Phillip. Most of the women in this bar are looking for just that.
Ben : Exactly. The skills required to market diamonds are the same as those
needed to make a woman fall in love, yes.
Spears : I'm not talking
about lust.
A woman in lust wants chocolate. A woman in love...wants diamonds.
Ben : Yeah, I'm not talking about lust, either, ladies. I'm talking about deep,
meaningful, head-over-heels,
his and her towels, Iet's grow old together, L-O-V-E. Look, I love women. I do.
Whether they're four, 40, or my 88-year-old grandmother, I respect women, all
right? And I also listen ...to
women, and that's why I can sell myself to any woman, anywhere, anytime.
Spears : Make a woman fall in love with diamonds, Benjamin...or with you?
Ben : Eh, either one.
Ben’s boss : Well, that's cocky,
Ben.
Ben : No, not cocky--confident.
Spears : I'd like to see you prove that.
Ben : You would?
Spears : The agency's cohosting a party for the DeLauers at the Astor Museum. The
party's a week from Sunday. Do you think you could make a woman fall in love
with you by then?
Ben : Ten days?
Green : Any woman, anywhere, anytime?
Ben : Any single, available, straight woman--yes.
Spears : Yes. I'm not trying to trick you, Ben. In fact, we'll choose a woman
right here, right now, in this bar, and then you decide.
Green : Ooh.
Ben : So, who's the lucky girl?
Green : Okay...Let's see here. Ooh, there's that blonde babe in the leopard print.
Ben’s boss : Whoa, ho, ho!
Green : She looks like fun.
Ben : Be nice, ladies.
Green : Or... wow, Miss Babylon Five. Now, she's
on
the prowl.
Spears : No. Her.
Ben : Her who?
Spears : Her, in the gray dress. Blonde hair. Pretty smile.
Green : Her?
Ben : Done.
Spears : What?
Ben : Done.
Ben’s boss : Done.
Andie : See the guy next to the horrible guy in the green shirt that I would
never even consider? Okay?
Jeannie : Hmm! Very cute.
Andie : Right?
Jeannie : Good.
Andie : All right? Here I go!
Ben : Okay, you're on. But here are the stakes. After I win this bet, this pitch
is mine.
Spears : Agreed.
Ben : Phil?
Ben’s boss : Agreed. You come to that party with a girl that's really in love
with you, Ben...you can make the pitch to the DeLauers.
Green : But, Phillip, you can't...
Ben’s boss : I've made up my mind. To the DeLauers.
Ben : To the DeLauers.
Spears : Cheers.
Ben’s boss : Cheers.
Green : Cheers.
