• Francis Geminiani : Take anything you want - but please, leave the vintage recordings!

• Francis Geminiani : Mafia.

  Randy Hastings : You're a...

  Francis Geminiani : My father. That's why he hates company.

  Randy Hastings : You're father's a Godfather?

  Francis Geminiani : No! A hit man.

• Francis Geminiani : Look, I'm a slob! I'm turning into Herschel. That's no love handle. That's a hate handle!

• Francis Geminiani : I don't think I can say.

  Judith Hastings : Of course you can, Francis, say it.

  Francis Geminiani : I think I'm gay.

  Judith Hastings : What a minute, why don't we back up a bit. I said we're just alike, et cetera, and then you said tomorrow's your birthday, then I think you said that...

  Francis Geminiani : I think I'm gay!

  Judith Hastings : That's what I thought you said. Well, do you want to amplify? I mean, this is quite a change from those nights of ecstasy, clinging to each other's souls and bodies.

  Francis Geminiani : We balled! Big deal! That's what college kids are supposed to do. And twice in one semester isn't exactly the Kinsey quotient for healthy studhood.

• Francis Geminiani : Attractive people have never been interested in me. Not if they're sane! "Love enters through the eyes," that's Dante.

  Judith Hastings : Oh, yeah? Well, what does Dante know? He chased little girls.

• Francis Geminiani : The house is a mess. The neighbors are a mess. I'm a mess!

• Francis Geminiani : Yes, I've had these thoughts about guys before.

  Judith Hastings : Oh, I suppose we could swap secrets on how to pick up men. Well, what difference does it make? So, you have an eye for the boys. Well, so do I. It's just something else we can share.

• Francis Geminiani : Look, I am attracted to a boy. You are not that boy. And, stop touching me so much.

  Judith Hastings : You're afraid. That's it! You're afraid someone's going to make demands on you you can't meet. That explains this fat and ugly nonsense and your sudden homosexual panic.

• Francis Geminiani : With or without music, stud?

• Francis Geminiani : Are you in love with me?

  Randy Hastings : Who said anything about love? Ever hear of lust?

• Randy Hastings : You still mad?

  Francis Geminiani : No.

  Randy Hastings : You still gay?

• Francis Geminiani : I got my records. I got me. That's enough.

• Randy Hastings : We can still like each other, can't we? I mean, liking doesn't have to include sex or love, does it?

  Francis Geminiani : It does according to Judith.

  Randy Hastings : You mean, if you won't go to bed with her, she won't...

  Francis Geminiani : Lay me or leave me, that's your sis.
