  • Eleanor McCullen: Father Time just has a way of just beating the shit out of us.
  • Richard Babson: Paula, there's some statements I wanna' make with my life. You're one of 'em. Living with you just says that you're my lover and my friend. It doesn't state that you're the woman I intend to spend the rest of my life with. *Marriage* makes that statement... Marry me, Paula.
  • Tom Babson: So, you're married, huh?
  • Richard Babson: Mm hmm.

  • Richard Babson: That's good. Because I was lying.
  • [both start chuckling]

  • Richard Babson: I know, dad.
  • Eleanor McCullen: How do you think your father looks?
  • Paula McCullen: He looks fine. Why, is there something wrong?
  • Eleanor McCullen: Well, you know, since his stroke he's been a little strange. He hardly ever talks. I found some, um, pornographic magazines under his socks. Real beaver shots!
  • Paula McCullen: Mother! Where did you know that word?
  • Richard Babson: [shoveling snow] I can't take it anymore. I'm not used to this. I'm not used to the cold, and I'm not used to being sexually deprived. I'm standing before you with a frozen erection.
  • Paula McCullen: Don't tell my mother - she'll put a mitten on it.
  • Richard Babson: Look at you, trying to kill yourself in a tea room.
  • Paula McCullen: I was not trying to kill myself!
  • Richard Babson: Oh, no? You just had to take fourteen Valium to get through your pastrami on rye.
  • Paula McCullen: I did not have pastrami on rye, I had chicken salad you asshole!
