Popular Dialogues

"Massarelli, Prosecuting Attorney: Are you a lesbian too, Ms. Nickerson? Robin: No sir but at times I understand the inclination."

"Jane: ...Do you miss it? Robin: What? Jane: Sex. Robin: Yeah, I do... You know what's weird? You never know the last time you sleep with somebody it's the last time. You're thinking: "Oh, we got problems, we got work to do," you know, but you never think... and then you break up and a month later you look back and you go: "Oh, that was it." That Tuesday or Friday or whenever, and you wished you paid attention because it was the last time... Well."
