Alice Kinnon: Do you really think we know each other well enough to move in together?
Charlotte Pingress: Well, maybe that's good.
Alice Kinnon: Its not just that we don't know each other well. I'm not even sure we really like each other.
Charlotte Pingress: That's okay. You know, Alice, I'm not so much of a bitch as I seem.
Josh Neff: Book this clown.
Des McGrath: You know that Shakespearean admonition, "To thine own self be true"? It's premised on the idea that "thine own self" is something pretty good, being true to which is commendable. But what if "thine own self" is not so good? What if it's pretty bad? Would it be better, in that case, not to be true to thine own self?.. See, that's my situation.
Tom Platt: Actually, there's one theory that the environmental movement of our day was sparked by the rerelease of Bambi in the late 1950s.
Charlotte Pingress: Did people ever really dance in bars? I thought that was a myth.
Des McGrath: Yuppie stands for "young upwardly mobile professional." Nightclub flunkie is not a professional category. I wish we were yuppies. Young, upwardly mobile, professional. Those are good things, not bad things.
Alice Kinnon: There's Jimmy Steinway. I can't believe it. He's already leaving?
Charlotte Pingress: You like him? I could never be interested in anyone who worked in advertising.
Alice Kinnon: I think it's much better to wait until things happen naturally. Forcing things never works.
Charlotte Pingress: That's not true. Forcing things usually works beautifully.
Charlotte Pingress: It's really important there be more group social life. Not just all this ferocious pairing off.
Alice Kinnon: I'm sorry, I don't consider the guy who did the Spiderman comics a serious writer.
Tom Platt: Why is it that when people have sex with strangers on their mind their IQ just drops like 40 points?
Charlotte Pingress: This is going to sound dumb, but, it really works. Whenever you can, throw the word sexy - into a conversation. Its a kind of a signal. Like, um, there's something really sexy about strobe lights. Or, eh, this fabric is so sexy.
Des McGrath: Do yuppies even exist? No one says, "I am a yuppie," it's always the other guy who's a yuppie. I think for a group to exist, somebody has to admit to be part of it.
Dan Powers: Of course yuppies exist. Most people would say you two are prime specimens.
Des McGrath: Group social life has its place, but at a certain point other biological factors come into play. Our bodies weren't really designed for group social life. A certain amount of pairing off was always part of the original plan.
Alice Kinnon: If when making love, the man... spurts... outside the woman, does that count as sexual intercourse?
Tom Platt: "Spurts"?
Alice Kinnon: If it... squirts outside, without getting in... does that count as losing your virginity?
Tom Platt: No part of the man got in at any time?
Alice Kinnon: I don't think so.
Tom Platt: I think part has to get in to be considered sexual intercourse.
Alice Kinnon: So then I was a virgin.
Jimmy: That's like something out of the Nazis.
Alice Kinnon: There's something really sexy about Scrooge McDuck.
Des McGrath: A gay mouth? I have a gay mouth? What does that mean?
Dan Powers: Actually, I was thinking I'd go home.
Holly: What?
Alice Kinnon: You should come.
Dan Powers: I don' t know. I'm not really a disco type.
Charlotte Pingress: Well, who is?
Dan Powers: I probably wouldn't get in, anyway.
Charlotte Pingress: Of course you'll get in. Holly's gorgeous.
