GLEN: My name is Glen, nice to meet you
GARRY: I’m Garry and I can tell that we are going to be very good friends
GLEN: you two are such good friends I will call you Glengarry for short
GARRY: I don’t even mind that you put the other Glen’s name first, is how strong our friendship is
GLEN (the first one): that means a lot to me
ROSS: hey guys whatd i miss
GARRY: let’s promise to stay friends forever
[VOICEOVER] and they always did
ALEC BALDWIN: here are the ABCs, be sure to think about them, Always be coffee
ALEC BALDWIN: who would like some coffee

JACK LEMMON: I’ll have some, please
ALEC BALDWIN: coffee is for everyone
GIL FROM THE SIMPSONS: I love coffee, myself
ALEC BALDWIN: don’t even TALK to me before ive had my coffee

ALEC BALDWIN: I think anyone who wants to have coffee should be able to have some coffee
GLENGARRY: hear hear
ROSS: hey guys what’d i miss
GLEN (the other one): classic Ross
You can’t fool me. Those lines from Jack Lemmon are directly from the screenplay.
Classic Ross.
Remember the time he came in and there was only half a cup of coffee left in the pot? Oh, man. Cracks me up. Alec Baldwin really saved his Columbian dark roast that day, amIrite?
This version would’ve been so much more enjoyable for me.
(nods) Yes this is exactly what happened
I basically do always be coffee, in the sense that we’re, what, 60% or so water? and 59% of that water in me is coffee.
As I recall it was more like “godfuckingdamnit what’s amateur with you men gimme that coffee”, but this is close.
My mind blowing teen moment was when my drama teacher (a nun) said she loved that play.
Nuns. Always surprising.
Classic Nun.
A. B. C. Always. Be. Cloistered.
Always Be Catechizing.
You see this watch? It was a birthday present.

A friend of mine:
“Did you write this? If Mallory Ortberg is a real person and not just your nom de plume, you should probably consider marrying her.”
wound, meet salt. second wound, meet more salt.
“Hey, are you a god? No? Well, have you looked into becoming one?”
i never really understood this movie’s business strategy. why is coffee only for closers? they’ve already closed! their work is over and it’s time for bed and coffee will keep them up all night
meanwhile the non-closers are dead on their feet, in no state whatsoever to close anything, and the only thing that will allow them to get their second wind and do some serious closing is the one thing they can’t have
I wanna know how many of the glengarry leads they had. Because if those were the good leads, you would think they’d shove as many people on them as they could, unless there were only like 3 and they didn’t want to waste them. But then if there’s only one person worth, just give them to Pacino there was no need to wait, everyone knew he was the best. OR give them to alec baldwin, just be like: “hey as long as you’re in town giving inspirational cusses do you want to earn some fat commissions?”
Clearly this is why I don’t run a shady outside-sales real estate business.
“You’re a good parent? That’s wonderful. Let’s work out some flex time so you can be with your kids.”
“Third prize is a Target gift card.”
“The good leads are in this file … take as many as you like.”
Is this why Alec Baldwin must hold two coffee cups – one in each hand – whenever he is being filmed?
“Product intergortion? Did I say that?”
Thank you for this. My boss keeps saying I should watch this movie and now I can tell him that I basically have.
I always liked to imagine that Alec Baldwin just randomly walked on set while taking a break some other shoot and started shouting at the actors, and everyone was so freaking method that they just went with it.
Explains the fact that his scene isn’t in the original play.
I want to see a short film based around this approach.
… this is my first realization that this movie was *not* based off of Ralph Connor’s works
‘Stay away from the West Side!’
Is this movie about golf? I’ve always thought it was about golf.
Alec Baldwin: Now let’s not shout ‘fuck’ at each other constantly for 90 minutes because we know that is tedious.
Glengarry: (together) Agreed.
Jack Lemon: Thank God.
David Mamet: Look, if I had another fucking trick I’d fucking use it. Fuckity fuck a fuck.
I have never seen this movie. But, my dude loves it, so I exclusively refer to it as Glengarry Glen Boring, much to his chagrin.

this is true art, and accurate, probably.
Coffee is for everyone! *heart grows three sizes*

ALEC BALDWIN: Coffee is for hosers.
EVERYBODY: Hey, is that that Tim Horton’s coffee I’ve heard so much about? I hear it’s quite good.
CANADA: Free coffee for everyone! We got rid of Stephen Harper and we’re celebrating!

I watched motocrosses approximately 100 times during the 7th grade. It took me about 12 years to understand why.
