Let me tell you something...You've got a job wiping rich pricks' asses, and for some reason you seem a little pleased with yourself.''"). Johnny initial encounter with Leavis and his criticism of his lifestyle leads Leavis to attempt turning him away, until Johnny clarifies that he wishes to see [[Thomas Stubbs|Thomas Stubbs III]], to which point Leavis warms up to Johnny and leads him to Stubbs. In their second and final encounter, Johnny engages with Leavis in a brief discussion about whether their lifestyles bring them happiness, and the two resolve that one can be content in their own way (Johnny: "''Well, I think what I've learned is that there's always a man, dude.

==Trivia==
*Leavis's name is a play on the two words '''"Leave Us"'''. This is ironic, considering that a maître d'is supposed to welcome over people, not send them away.
