- Lelia: I thought being with you would be so important - would mean so much. That afterwards two people would be as close as it's possible to get. But, instead, we're just two strangers.
- Girl at Party: The trouble with you is, you suffer from self-induced hysteria at the word 'existentialism'. Are you aware of that?
- Tom: [walking around MOMA's sculpture garden] I don't know what you wanted to come here for, Dennis. This joint is nothing but: a place for a bunch of sexless women who don't have any love in their life, a lot of big deal professors, a lot of creeps trying to show off how much they know.
- Blonde Pickup in Restaurant: What do you mean by come up to my apartment?
- Tom: That's a silly question for a big girl like you.
- Show Girl Floozies: [singing] If you don't play it cool, She'll play you for a fool, A lollipop, a lollipop will never make you sick, A real mad chick, Is like an ice cream cone...
- David: Why don't you do something? Learn something. There are a thousands of things to do in New York City.
- Ben: Like what?
- David: Why don't you do something different. You want to meet new people? You want to come to a literary party I'm having tonight?
- Lelia: Don't invite them, Dave. They won't even wear a tie!
- Rupert: You know that one about the rabbit that fell out of the tree and said, "Man, that lovemakings for the birds."
- Girl at Party: Well I don't understand your viewpoint. Jean Paul Sartre has absolutely nothing to do with existential psychoanalysis!
- Girl at Party: It's perfectly obvious. Man, in contrast to other animals, is conscience of his own existence. Therefore, conscience of the possibility on nonexistence. Ergo, he has anxiety. Right?
- Tony: Are you a writer too?
- Girl at Party: [in a low cut dress] Oh, no. Do I look like a writer?
- Tony: I can't tell anymore.
- Girl at Party: I'm a dancer, really.
- Tony: Oh, a dancer! Why that's great. Are you a ballet dancer?
- Girl at Party: Oh, no. Exotic!
- Tony: Exotic?
- Girl at Party: Oh, you don't know what that is, do you.
- Tony: Not exactly.
- Girl at Party: It's a - sort of modern only more exotic.
