- Mel: Sometimes I wish that you could just hit the sack and never wake up. If your favorite song never ended, or your best book never closed, if the emotions mustered from these things would just go on and on, who wouldn't want to stay asleep? The guy who discovers that perpetual dream, he's my man.
- Anna: [Melodia on the street] You're making me feel like I have to break up with you- and I don't even know you!
- Terry: [Paul and Gary are hiding in Terry's apartment] I know you're here, Paul. The doorman told me you just came in. Come out and I won't be mad.
- Paul: [sits up on the couch] Did you or did you not fuck a lumberjack by the name of Randy?
- Terry: That's none of your business.
- Paul: Is that a yes?
- Terry: I'm not answering that.
- Paul: Oh, for fuck's -- well, all right, well -- What, does he go to the gym alll the time, does he?
- Terry: What?
- Paul: [picks up a vase of flowers] From Randy?
- [smashes the vase]
- Paul: I'm gonna rape you!
- Gary: [Gary steps out from behind the corner] Hi, Terry.
- Terry: Hi, Gary.
- Gary: He is not gonna rape you.
- Terry: That's a relief. How are you, Gary?
- Gary: I'm OK, thanks. I'm gonna just take him home.
- [Last lines]
- Dora Shaller: [to Gary halfway down the stairs] I love you.
- Gary: I love you too.
- [turns away from Anna and crutches up the stairs]
- Mel: I'm always looking for something new. I've saved eagles' nests high on the dolomites on Icarus's perfected wings. I bedded Cleopatra in a tub of figs. Not bad for a schlub from Astoria.
- Dora Shaller: Does it ever occur to you that maybe *I* need a little cheering up, you know... that *I* want to feel special?
- Gary: I don't think you do need cheering up. I think you need tampons.
