• Trudi : Sheila has been studying the art of conversation.

  Harris : Oh, you're taking a course in conversation?

  Sheila : Yes.

  [long pause] 

• Harris : I'm not kissing anyone hello anymore.

  Trudi : Well just shake hands with them.

  Harris : Are you kidding? I just wash my hands and I shake hands with some guy that feels like he's been squashing caterpillars.

• Trudi : Do bullets go bad?

  Harris : No, it's not like milk. They don't have expiration date or anything.

• Trudi : One of the first things I always teach my clients is about the point system. You should never have more than seven things on. You know, like your earrings count for two points, those daisies count for three points. But the best thing to do is, right before you go out, look in the mirror and turn around real fast, and the first thing that catches your eye, get rid of it. I mean, I had this thing in my hair before I left, remember? And I pulled it right out, 'cause as soon as I turned, gone! Marilyn Monroe did that.

• Trudi : Isn't that girl Sara awful? I mean, what's with that accent?

  Harris : She has an accent because she's English.

  Trudi : Or maybe she's just trying to impress everybody.

  Harris : Oh, like that big phony, Winston Churchill.

• [Trudi admits to Harris that she has been cheating on him] 

  Harris : How long has this been going on?

  Trudi : Three years.

  Harris : Three years? You mean this has been going on since the '80s?

• Harris : So, I'll see you Sunday?

  Trudi : I got a shower Sunday.

  Harris : Oh yeah, and I really should take a bath... Monday?

• Harris : A sign spoke to me, said I was in trouble.

  Trudi : If you're talking to signs, you are in trouble.

• Roland : Sara just got off a plane from London.

  Trudi : Oh, you must be exhausted.

  Sara : Yes, I'm shattered, but it's nothing that some sleep and a good fuck wouldn't cure, as my sister used to say. Ha ha ha.

  [everyone stares] 

  Roland : You'll have to forgive Sara.

  Sara : Oh, it was just... it was just a figure of speech. I've been on a plane for twelve hours next to a crying baby.

• Trudi : He said it's the first day of spring.

  Harris : Oh shit! Open season on the L.A. freeway!

• [Trudi is loading a gun in the car while Harris is driving on the freeway] 

  Harris : Don't point it at me!

  Trudi : Sorry, I don't know gun etiquette.
