• Lee : [whispers]  Tell me I stink.

  Amanda : You stink!

  Lee : [whispers]  Throw my drink in my face.

  Amanda : [she does]  And frankly, Ricky Joe, sex with you was always a major disappointment!

  [storms out] 

  Lee : [wiping his face]  Ham.

• Amanda : [Inspecting Lee's apartment]  You know, this reminds me of a place I lived in while I was in college. Mother saw it and she made me move.

• Amanda : Aleksei, you've got to learn to trust people. Now look, do you remember in Peter Pan when Tinkerbell was dying and her little light was flickering...

  Aleksei Kalnikov : You talk to little kids a lot, don't you?

  Amanda : Well, yeah, you know with two boys of my own...

  Aleksei Kalnikov : You should get out more.

  Amanda : OK, look, try this. You're in my house and as long as you're in my house I'm going to act like your friend no matter what and I expect the same thing from you. So now you can get in bed and go to sleep and in the morning you can give Jamie his bike back.

  [Chucks Aleksei on the chin] 

  Aleksei Kalnikov : You know, you're tougher than the fed with the moldy cheese.

  Amanda : Really? I want that in writing.

• Lee : [on payphone]  I got a real problem here, I got this kid that, that won't talk to me.

  Amanda : [on other line, at home]  By kid, do you mean one of those girls you date?

  Lee : No, I mean a kid. As in child, as in boy. I spend ten dollars on junkfood, he won't open his mouth.

• Amanda : Look, Aleksei, this is Lee Stetson, he is one of the top agents in the country. Now iIf you'll just untie us, he will rescue your parents and he'll stop these people, trust me.

  Lee : Yeah.

  Aleksei Kalnikov : If he's so hot, what's he doing tied up in a closet?

  Amanda : Perfectly good question.

• Amanda : Are you always this punchy in the morning?

  Lee : Are you always this perky?

  Amanda : Well, you know, I guess I'm just what you'd call a morning person. And I guess you're just, not what you'd call a morning person. eh, look, are you sure you're set up to take care of a child? I mean... you know they need, uh...

  Lee : Attention? Someone to talk to?

  Amanda : No. What they need is food. And you haven't got any.

  Lee : Just what the hell do you call that incredibly expensive camembert?

  Amanda : Moldy.

• Amanda : You know, I think Aleksei was right when he said that we were incompatible.

  Lee : Aleksei said that?

  Amanda : Actually, he said, 'Lee's fun, you're a drag.'

  Lee : You know, he's not all that bad.

• Amanda : [on phone]  Oh Dean, that's wonderful. Tri-city weather forecaster of the year... A trophy! What kind of a trophy?... An aluminum sun?... Gesunheit. Look, I told you you should've taken your rain poncho.
