Tony Gardella
[edit]- Tom Dale. Big star. He's in New York filming an adaptation of a sequel of a remake.
- [about Papadakis] He's very arty, pretentious, one of those assholes who shoots all his films in black and white.
Nicole Oliver
[edit]- I can't have sex with you! My body belongs to my husband and there is no way that I could betray him in that way. But what I do from the neck up is a different story.
Lee Simon
[edit]- Every curve in your body fulfills its promise. If the universe has any meaning, I'm looking at it.
- One minute you're in the lunchroom at Glenwood High and you fucking blink and you're 40, you blink again and you can see movies at half price on a senior citizen's pass. Ask not for whom the bell tolls, or to put it more accurately, ask not for whom the toilet flushes.
- Just in time. Another minute, I'd have been found dead of comedy poisoning...
Robin Simon
[edit]- No matter what the shrinks, or the pundits, or the self-help books tell you, when it comes to love, it's luck.
- I've become the person I've always hated, but I'm happier.
- [to Lee] I hope you catch a break.
- Well, I'm working on buying St. Patrick's Cathedral, maybe doing a little rip-down job and putting up a very very tall and beautiful building.
Dialogue
[edit]- TV Reporter at Premiere: What's your next project?
- Dalton Freed: Birth of a Nation, an all-black version.
- Bonnie: Apparently his first two books...
- Lee: They were obliterated. I got the 3 esses: self-indulgent, sophomoric, solipsistic...
- Tony: Oh, and getting out of the elevator I see there's a famous critic.
- Robin: Him, I recognize.
- Tony: Oh, he used to hate every movie. Then, he married a young, big-bosomed woman, and now he loves every movie.
- Father Gladden's Fan on Porch: Did you agree with the Beatles, years ago, at the height of their fame, that they were bigger stars than Jesus?
- Father Gladden: The world population was much less then.
- Supermodel: You're not afraid of catching germs? And you know, I'm coming down with a cold and everything...
- Lee: From you I'd be willing to catch terminal cancer.
- Waiting Room Nurse: I'm sorry, the doctor just doesn't do penis enlargements. We don't have the space.
- Waiting Room Patient: We're talking about 3 inches here!
- Robin: There aren't any ticks around here, are there? I'd hate to get Lyme disease.
- Priest at Catholic Retreat: We haven't had any casualties.
