"I want an appliance that works."
One line of dialogue that perfectly encapsulates the frustration of someone who has bought into, and subsequently been let down by, the allure of consumerism.
"Nick's going to steal a TV!"
Was the broken coffee maker the catalyst for Nick's turn to larceny? Acquiring consumer goods through legal means has not brought Nick the satisfaction the manufacturers promised him; perhaps plunder will help fill the void he feels inside.
"Do you have something like that but fake?"
Confronted with the cost of something made with craftsmanship and care, Nick recoils and seeks comfort in the cheap and tacky.
"Have you ever used masking tape to mask?"
Always ask this question on a first date.
