• Cigarette Girl : Susan!

  Susan : Hi.

  Cigarette Girl : My God, we all thought you were dead!

  Susan : No, just in New Jersey.

• Susan : How's tricks?

  Crystal : I'm ready to quit this dump, I really am. Ray won't let me wear my glasses on stage, then Ian gets pissed because I can't do any of the tricks, I mean I'm only legally blind. I could understand if I wanted to wear my glasses on my tits, but nobody in this dive is looking at my face anyway.

• Gary : Susan! What are you doing?

  Susan : I've got good news and bad news. What do you want to hear first?

  Gary : You said you were going to leave!

  Susan : Okay, good news first. Your wife isn't partners with the greaseball.

  Gary : Susan, my wife has just been picked up on the Lower East Side escaping from her gun-toting pimp!

  Susan : He's not a pimp.

  Gary : He's not a pimp?

  Leslie : Who's not a pimp?

  Susan : The bad news is that he is probably going to try to kill her because he thinks she's me.

• Susan : Good goin', stranger!

• Jim : [re the front-page news dead mobster]  You were with this guy?

  Susan : He was breathing when I left.

• Susan : [answering Gary Glass's phone]  Glass house!

• Jim : No more dead bodies, okay?

  Susan : I'll see what I can do.

• Boutique Owner : I like the jacket.

  Susan : It used to belong to Jimi Hendrix. Yeah, but, I bet he'd love it if I swapped it for the boots.

  Boutique Owner : Deal.

  Susan : No.

• Newspaper Clerk : "Desperately Seeking Stranger Seeking Susan. Regarding Key. Meet me Saturday night, Magic Club, Broadway, 9:30 PM. Be there." Is that it?

  Susan : She'll love it.

  Leslie : Beauty fades.

• Susan : She kept a diary. It's great stuff.

  [Reading] 

  Susan : "Couldn't sleep. Went into kitchen. Gary came in, turned on light. Gary left. Finished birthday cake." Pages of it. It's got to be a cover, nobody's life could be this boring!

  Gary : You shouldn't be reading that, it's private.

  Susan : Yeah, well, it's not about her, it's about me. Listen to this.

  [Reading] 

  Susan : "He's looking for Susan again. She's late returning from Mexico. This is the fifth ad he's run. Why does he want to see her so badly? Who is she?" And there's my picture. Gary, why didn't you tell me she read the Personals? I could have settled this yesterday.

  Gary : She read them all the time. I didn't think...

  Susan : Yeah, well, fortunately, for everybody, I'm here and I'm thinking.

• Susan : Between you and me, how much do you really know about Roberta?

• Jim : Come on! Come to Buffalo. I'll find some trouble for you to get into. That'll cheer you up.

  Susan : I've had enough trouble already.

• Susan : Come on, let's just get outta here.

  Crystal : I have to do the mystery of the disappearing bluebird!

• Susan : So you're the witch's husband. Where's my stuff?

• Susan : "How to Be Your Own Best Friend," "I'm OK, You're OK," "Dr. Ruth's Guide to Good Sex." These Roberta's too?

  Gary : I didn't know she read this stuff.

• Susan : You know, I could get used to a place like this. Got any pot?

  Gary : Pot? Um - Usually I keep some around; but, right now I'm out. You know how it is.

  Susan : [pulls a joint out of her boot]  How about a match?
