3 things about Michael Tolkin’s THE NEW AGE

The New Age [1994]

1. She begins deleting all the files.
“The bank doesn’t need 100,000 brochures because the bank doesn’t exist anymore. The bank doesn’t exist anymore because too many of its big real estate loans went bad. Its great big real estate loans went bad because it made loans to shopping centers that can’t find enough tenants. The shopping centers can’t find enough tenants because there are too many shopping centers. Too many shopping centers because a lot of greedy fucks got loans from corrupt banks.”
She prepares to leave the office.
“Where are you going?” her assistant asks.
“I’m going shopping.”
2. Adam West sidles up to the salesgirl and says, “How are your morals today?”
3. He asks for marriage advice from his dad, who tells him, “You have two options. Leave her, or ride it out,” and then walks away.
