Hi, Mom!

Jeannie Mitchell: [camera pans across a huge vacant lot of gray dirt fronting unremarkable older buildings] This is the wonderful view we have from the living room and bedroom windows. It's really nice because how many people in New York can look out their window and see this much space? Usually they're just looking into the side of another building or into somebody else's window.
Jeannie Mitchell: [camera shifts back and forth between views of two equally-bland and characterless modern cement-block apartment buildings] This is the housing project across the street. It's not nearly as nice as the one we live in. This is our housing project. See? I don't like that one at all. This one is really pretty. It's really modern, and the cement blocks--all one color.

Jon Rubin: We gotta go to those projects up there, with the silent middle class, in those projects, where they're sitting with their pipes right now, in their, in their chairs, reading the New York Times--you have to go up there and you have to blow their minds!

[first lines]
Jon Rubin: Uh, excuse me, sir? Sir? Sir--uh, are you the janitor of this building?

Joe Banner: [critiquing a porno] She looks inhibited, right? You know why she looks inhibited? She hasn't had the right direction. She has not been told who she is in this film. That girl does not want to screw anybody--she wants to screw the man of her life. So who do they put her in with, eh? Some weirdo with gold hair. Yeah, that's funny, huh... what's going to happen when her mother sees the picture, know what I mean?

Joe Banner: [critiquing a porno] This girl is obviously somebody who needs a movie. But not this movie!
Joe Banner: [gestures to man reaching his hand into Banner's lap] If it were this movie, he wouldn't be doing this to me, he wouldn't be putting his hands on my balls.
