Quotes 

• Wax Lion : [to Jaye]  Word of advice... Don't give her money back.

  [Jaye stares at the lion, but she gives Ronnie her money] 

  Wax Lion : Don't...

  Ronnie : Thank you.

  Ronnie : [Ronnie goes out the shop and a thief steals her purse]  Hey! That guy just stole my purse. Get back here you son of a bitch. I'm gonna kick your ass!

  Wax Lion : [to Jaye]  Told ya.

• Sharon Tyler : You've never asked me who I was dating or if I was even interested in anybody, and now you're setting me up on a blind date?

  Jaye : So what?

  Sharon Tyler : I'm not complaining. I think it's wonderful, I really do, but you are not the same girl who made all my clothes smell like cat pee. What is going on with you?

  Jaye : I don't know. I don't know what's going on with me. I feel like a pinball. I've been bouncing off bumpers and flippers tryin' to get something to happen, but I had no idea what it was. And then all of a sudden, there's a tracheotomy and you're a lesbian, and there's this other lesbian and... I was just trying to do what I thought I was supposed to do, but they didn't tell me what it was; they just kept on making me guess.

  Sharon Tyler : Who made you guess?

  Jaye : [covering]  Nobody. The proverbial "they".

  [Sharon puts a comforting arm around Jaye] 

  Muse : [prompting her through the monkey statue Jaye stole]  "I love you."

  Jaye : [a little reluctant]  I... love you.

  Sharon Tyler : I love you, too.

  Jaye : I don't feel dirty. I thought was gonna feel dirty.

  Sharon Tyler : Because you said "I love you"?

  Jaye : Mm-hmm. I don't feel dirty at all, which is surprising. You know, maybe we could say it again sometime. But not for a while and not often.

  Sharon Tyler : How about birthdays and holidays?

  Jaye : Okay. But never in public.

• Dr. Ron Campbell : Tell me about your family.

  Jaye : I really don't wanna gossip.

  Dr. Ron Campbell : Would you say your family life is stressful?

  Jaye : Not that I'm aware of. Does my mother say it's stressful?

  Dr. Ron Campbell : We're not talking about your mother.

  Jaye : Not yet.

  Dr. Ron Campbell : Do you feel pressured to live up to your mother's expectations?

  Jaye : I thought we weren't talking about my mother.

  Dr. Ron Campbell : We're not. We're talking about you.

  Jaye : [a brass statue of a monkey on his desk begins to move]  I'm confused.

  Dr. Ron Campbell : That's perfectly normal.

  Muse : [speaking through the statue]  Perfectly normal.
