- Polly Franklin: Boys, Nat! Did you know that they have straight ones and bent ones? And if you look at their hands you can tell how big it is? I mean, can you imagine owning this thing with a will of its own? Don't you think about it all the time?
- Natalie Becker: [rolls her eyes] Actually Polly, no.
- Polly Franklin: They do weird things. You have a thought, it stands right up! Isn't it amazing? I mean, I can't imagine what it would be like to have one! Can you?
- Natalie Becker: Polly!
- Polly Franklin: But what's it like when you're with someone else?
- Bill the Photographer: Okay, if I tell you will you call your parents, tell them where you are?
- Polly Franklin: Okay.
- Bill the Photographer: What's the number?
- Polly Franklin: Tell me first.
- Bill the Photographer: Okay... here it is, exquisite relief from torture.
- Polly Franklin: Torture?
- [Bill hands her the phone]
- James Casey: One day I saw you smile, and it really knocked me out. You smiled. It was like the sun breaking out on a gray day.
- Natalie Becker: My face is like a gray day?
- Polly Franklin: Wanna see a little play I just made up? Once there was a girl named Petunia
- [Polly holds up a stuffed animal]
- Polly Franklin: ... who had a friend named Nathan.
- [Polly holds up a second stuffed animal]
- Natalie Becker: I'm supposed to be Nathan?
- Polly Franklin: Nathan is a very experienced boy. He's gone all the way. And Petunia is less experienced. She's been to second base, maybe third. And she's really hot to trot.
- [holds the bears together to kiss, then slams down "Petunia"]
- Polly Franklin: Tragedy strikes! Nathan doesn't like virgins.
- Natalie Becker: Polly, I like you.
- Polly Franklin: Thus, Petunia decides she'll just teach herself.
- Polly's Father: What are you putting your girdle on for? We're not going out to a night club!
- Polly's Mother: Well, I don't want to look like an animal!
