Ali Larter and Mark Feuerstein in Giving It Up (1999)

Quotes

Giving It Up

Edit
  • Ralph: I'm half Italian-half Jewish. Which, I guess makes me a pizza-bagel.
  • [Ralph descibing his vanity process]
  • Psychiatrist: You get your back WAXED?
  • Ralph: Yeah.
  • Psychiatrist: Ouch.
  • Ralph: Yeah, tell me about it. I'm Italian and Jewish. Twice the hair and the guilt.
  • Johnathan: Let me tell you something. This happens to be real life. Money and power. That's all that counts out there in the world.
  • Ralph: No, I don't think so. I...
  • Johnathan: You're the best I ever had, kid. But pending a major change in your sex life - and I mean a MAJOR change - you are... on extended leave.
  • Ralph: What?
  • Johnathan: That's right. No chicks, no checks.
  • [long awkward pause]
  • Johnathan: Get the fuck out of here.
  • Ralphie's First Little Girlfriend: Women still remember their first kiss long after men have forgotten the last.
  • Johnathan: It's a snatch-22. You love women and they hate you for it.
  • Elizabeth: Face it, Ralph. Everything you say and do is designed to attract members of the opposite sex.
  • Peter: Dude, you can't change your life. I love your life. It's like a porno movie, but with better lighting. There's great cheesy music, lots of hot women. You could use more lesbians, though.
  • Ralph: Oh, you think so? Thanks for the tip.
  • Ralph: Yeah, I'm up for more of this ego-deflating banter.
  • Ralph: He who loves and runs away lives to love another day.
  • Ralph: Listerine - the only thing to reach BEFORE the snooze button.
  • Peter: Genius. Pure genius.
  • Ralph: Why are you stroking your fallus?
  • Ralph: I don't know. It... it just feels good.
  • Dr. Hubbins: Are you afraid it'll dissapear? Are you afraid that it'll fall off? That a woman will castrate it and take it away? Why don't you just accept it as a natural appendage like your foot?
  • Rex: Oh, fresh oysters. Hey, do you like oysters?
  • Ralph: No, I don't really get in to putting slippery, slimy, disgusting, wet, living organisms in my mouth.
  • Rex: I guess you don't eat pussy, then.
  • [she walks away, Ralph follows after her]
  • Ralph: I could.
  • [in a childhood flashback]
  • Mother Gagante: Ralphie, get you hand out of your pants.
  • Grandmother: What, he should be different from all the other men in the family?
  • Elizabeth: You are really, really, really not well.
  • Ralph: Yeah, this place is really super-fly!
  • Amber: Don't you have a maid?
  • Ralph: Yeah. She's in Bukit Tinggi for the week.
  • Amber: What are you so embarrassed about?
  • Ralph: I'm a messy guy. You don't want to look in there.
  • Amber: [chuckles] Ralph, holy shit! You have my picture hanging on your wall.
  • Ralph: Yeah.
  • Amber: [clicks tongue] That's so flattering.
  • [she licks the top of his lip]
  • Amber: I just want to fuckin' rape you.
  • Amber: You are a redwood, Ralph Gagante. I am so sore, I can barley walk.
