Linda Porter: I admit I am partially responsible for all this because I have encouraged you, I have indulged you, and what for? Just a little music.
Linda Porter: You knew so much about me when we met Cole, don't you think I'd heard a thing or two about you?
Cole Porter: Then you know that I... that I can be... that I have outside interests the pursuit of which may seem unfair to you?
Linda Porter: You mean men?
Cole Porter: Yes, men.
Linda Porter: Let's just say you like them more than I do.
Linda Porter: Here comes trouble.
Linda Porter: Oh my goodness. Could you be any more wonderful?
Linda Porter: Which one's Cole Porter?
Sara Murphy: You see the one standing up, being so serious about being playful? That's my husband Gerald. The one playing and not being serious at all? That's Cole Porter.
Edward Thomas: Don't turn your back on me Mrs Thomas.
Linda Porter: How amusing! As I recall that was the position you most favored.
Cole Porter: I really can't do it justice. Wait until opening night, hear it sung properly.
Linda Porter: I think it sounds fine now. And I won't be there dear.
Cole Porter: What? Why wouldn't you be?
Linda Porter: You know the doctors.
Cole Porter: I wrote this for you. Why play it if you won't be there?
Linda Porter: That's why I want you to play it for me now. All the way through.
Dr. Cameron McCarthy: I love that fish.
Lorraine Nelson: Aw, she's not a fish.
Dr. Cameron McCarthy: Looks like a fish, smells like a fish.
Gary: I'm sure every man and his dog has tried a line on you, but has anyone ever told you you have very sad eyes?
Joanna: Well, yes, they have, Gary. Has anyone ever told you you need a shower?
Claire Kubik: Agent Mullins! I just need a minute of your time.
FBI Agent Mullins: Somehow I'm confident it's not my rugged good looks to which I owe the honor of this visit.
Alex Cross: Gone in the night.
Kate McTiernan: At least now the FBI know who they're looking for. How far can he run?
Alex Cross: It's not a question of how far. It's how long.
Callie: For the love of God.
Darkly Noon: Precisely.
Lexie Coop: Americus? What kind of a name is Americus?
Novalee Nation: I wanted her to have a strong name.
Lexie Coop: Well, I guess I shouldn't talk. I named my kids after snack foods: Brownie, Praline, Cherry and Baby Ruth.
Lexie Coop: Honey, I know that your mother walked out on you and what that butthole Willie Jack did. But that is what makes them trash, not you.
Orderly: Lexie, one of your kids is on the phone.
Lexie Coop: Which one?
Orderly: Oh, I don't know. Pez? Twinkie? One of 'em.
Novalee Nation: I think I might be pregnant. You remember that guy I told you about last month?
Lexie Coop: The good-lookin' mechanic?
Novalee Nation: I don't know what's wrong with me. I didn't even want to be with him.
Lexie Coop: Didn't he use anything?
Novalee Nation: Just me.
Lexie Coop: Forney is in love with you! Tell me you don't know that.
Novalee Nation: It's just not like that with me and Forney.
Lexie Coop: I have seen him. He loves you. He loves the way you walk, he loves your hair, he loves everything about you.
Novalee Nation: Forney and me we're just not that way. Forney's different from us. He went to college. His family had money.
Lexie Coop: What are you trying to say? That you're not good enough for him?
Lexie Coop: He told you he loved you, and you didn't say anything?
Novalee Nation: I'm a dope. I'm such a dope, but I was scared. I was confused. The whole thing is just strange.
Lexie Coop: Honey, don't take this the wrong way, but Forney is strange.
