What Wallace is tactful enough not to say, of course, is "as a black man, I have to dress twice as nice to be taken half as seriously".

0916-------------------------------------
(Friday afternoon, INT: SW and WW's apartment)

JH: Okay, got it: I use cookware to accomplish a purpose. I make things with it, I produce food. A suit is... torso decoration.
WW: Jamie, you do remember that I'm in a band, right? And I'm a graphic designer who does work for corporate clients? A big part of what I do is selling myself.
--------------
WW: When I drop a half grand on a suit, it's not just vanity or affectation. It's an investment. It affects the way people might see me, the way they react to me, they way they think of me, and that can have actual financial implications for my future.
--------------
WW: And, hey, not to get too vulgar, but I also currently have two steady girlfriends, a boyfriend, and, when I feel like it, I do pretty well on the side. How're you doing?
JH: Actually, Ellen and I... uh... initiated recently. Officially. So... I have half the number of girlfriends that you do.
--------------
WW: And was this before or after she saw you wearing my suit?
JH: ...after.
WW: You're welcome.
