Maya Fisher: I mean, come on, you guys were so close. And you know you used to have the best time together.
Sonny Fisher: Yes, Maya, we did. And then I grew up. That’s what happens in life. I got married. I had kids. I’m sorry that I don’t want to spend a weekend with Huck celebrating his forty-fourth birthday with a bunch of twenty-two year-olds.

Huck Dembo: I’m just on more of a Clooney plan.
