The Quotes

[Helen tells James her boyfriend is cheating.]

James: Well, if it makes you feel any better...do you see that bloke over there? [Points to his friend at the end of the bar.] Not only does he own a personalized set of crocodile-skin luggage, but his favorite TV program is Baywatch. So you see there's always someone sadder than you.

[Helen starts to cry.]

James: Do you love him?
Helen: No, I could never love a Baywatch fan.

Helen: Gerry, for god sake, I asked you a simple question! There is no need for you to become Woody Allen!

Anna: Are you okay?
Helen: Oh yes, I'm just going quietly mad.
Anna: Well, thank goodness for that. I was worried.

James: Everyone is born knowing every single Beatles lyric. It's ingested into the fetus along with all that amniotic stuff. Fact: they should be called "The Fetals."

James: Never joke about a woman's hair, clothes or menstrual cycle. Page one.

Russell: You want my opinion?
Gerry: Will I like it?
Russell: Well, of course not! It'll be based in reality.

Helen: I kissed you.
James: Yeah, I spotted that too.

Russel: Gerry, you are a morality-free zone.

Lydia: I'm a woman. We don't say what we want but we do reserve the right to get pissed off when we don't get it. That's what makes us so fascinating, and not a little bit scary.

Lydia: I'm trying to be your girlfriend Gerry! I'm trying to win you back! I'm standing on the platform at Limbo Central with my heart and soul packed in my suitcase waiting for the Gerry Frikkin' Express to roll in and tell me that my ticket is still valid and that I may reboard the train! Only the station announcer keeps coming on and telling me that my train has been delayed as the driver has suffered a major panic attack in Indecision City, "We suggest you take the bus!" That's what I have been trying to do, you cripple!

Helen: You wanker. You sad, sad wanker.

(One of my fave quotes)

James: Cheer up. Remember what the Monty Python boys say.
Helen: "Always look on the bright side of life?"
James: No, "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition."
