Craig: John! Mr. Malkovich! Sir! (Maxine laughs) . . . Mr. Malkovich I think I can explain
Malkovich: Yeah! Explain!
Craig: My name is Craig Schwartz, and we operate a little business here that simulates

Malkovich: Simulates?
Craig: Yeah, after a fashion.
Malkovich: What exactly does that mean?
Craig: Well, it’s hard to describe.
Malkovich: I want to do it, then.
Craig: Well, I’m sure it pales in comparison to the actual experience.
Malkovich: I WANT TO DO IT!
Craig: Well, right now, Mr. Hiroshi is in the tube
Maxine: Let him do it, Craig.
Craig: Of course, right this way Mr. Malkovich, compliments of the house.
