A New Life

Steve Giardino:
[considering divorce papers] This isn't about money. What do you want from me, must tell me what you want?

Steve Giardino:
I come home late, what is that, a crime? I don't answer question while I'm reading the paper. Well I'm sorry, I can't talk and read at the same time! I'm not a ventriloquist.

Steve Giardino:
Why didn't you tell me you were a man?

Sybil:
What, do you expect me to blurt it out all at once?

Mel Arons:
What is it with these clothes? It looks like the cast of Miami Vice crawled into your closet, and died.

Suitor #1:
I have always been interested in soft drinks. They're unique, they are clean, you don't need a showroom, they repeat... They are an ideal product.

Suitor #3:
While we've gotten personal like this, I have a list of all the people that I've been intimate with over the past ten years. Can I ask to see you list the next time we meet?

Mel Arons:
Don't ruin this. These girls are open minded and convivial. Modern progressive women. Sluts. Don't get ethical, it inhibits their sexual creativity.

Steve Giardino:
You're a very shallow person, do you know that?

Mel Arons:
What, having some woman make fried bread for you is deep?

Steve Giardino:
Ah, damn it, I'm not happy. I want to get happy.

Mel Arons:
What are you making such a big deal about happiness for? Look at me. I trade all day against guys who would cut my heart out of an eighth. I drink too much, I eat rich food, I make love to women half my age. You think I'm happy? [big smile] That's the advantage of being shallow.

Jackie Jardino:
Something's bothering you, isn't it?

Steve Giardino:
Something's bothering me? You watch every move that I make, and you haven't noticed that I'm going crazy? I can't breathe! You're constantly watching me, and questioning me, and examining me.

Jackie Jardino:
That's what you do when you care about someone.

Steve Giardino:
No, that's what you do when you take a hostage.
