- Steven Harper: Whenever you don't know what to do, choose the hardest thing, because nine times out of ten, that's the right thing to do.
- Marilyn Sudor: Women are so dumb, Steven, you know that? Okay, what would you do if somebody hit you?
- Steven Harper: Well, I'd like to say I'd turn the other cheek, but I'd probably hit 'em back.
- Marilyn Sudor: Yeah, turning the other cheek is overrated, Steven, take it from me. She's gonna marry that guy, you know what? Screw it.
- Steven Harper: You're the last person in the world I'd thought would turn bitter.
- Marilyn Sudor: Oh, I'm way past bitter. He's gonna beat the hell out of her, he's gonna break her spirit again and again, and you know what? Maybe they'll have kids, a baby boy, that would be perfect right? Then they can raise another man in this world you thinks it's okay to hit women, as long as he's really sorry afterwards!
- Marla Hendricks: These kids, the only way they're going to be all they can be is to join the Marines. There're echoes where their brains should be.
- Scott Guber: Well, they're smart enough to fool you, Marla.
- Marla Hendricks: A good man, a good principle would be sensitive to that.
- Steven Harper: I'm not.
- Marla Hendricks: You're a fat, bald, grump, that's why.
