Everything You Ever Need To Know About Life...

... you can learn from:

Go (1999)

Burke (William Fichtner): Okay, you've looked around our place. Where do you think we got most of this stuff?

Irene (Jane Krakowski): Just guess.

Adam (Scott Wolf): Sears?

Zack (Jay Mohr): J.C. Penney's?

Burke: It's actually from Confederated Products. Almost everything in this house is from Confederated Products, from the toilet paper to the mattress to those candles.

Irene: The wine.

Burke: Even that cologne you liked.
Burke: See, Confederated Products is a multi-level direct wholesaling company. That means we don't just sell the products ourselves, we also recruit and manage teams who work under us. Irene and I started eight months ago and we're already bringing in fifty thousand a year in revenues.

Irene: We're the number four distributor in Southern California. By March, we might be number three.
Burke: Now, as law enforcement officers, Irene and I can't recruit distributors from inside the force. It's against the rules and we'd get fired. So what we do is look for people in other industries...

Irene: ...like the entertainment industry.

Zack: Wait. You want us to sell Amway?

Burke: Confederated Products. It's a different company, a- a- a different quality of product.

Ah! That Scott Wolf expression. The greatest. Everybody in this scene (except Jay Mohr) is so on top of their game. In fact, everybody in this movie (except Jay Mohr) is just wonderful.

I love this movie so. But why couldn't you post a Sarah Polley scene? My Sarah Polley intake has been dangerously low lately.

Jane Krasowski is so delightful. Exept in 30 Rock. Damn her in 30 Rock.

It's the way he says the line "you want us to sell Amway?" that makes this scene.
