Quotes12

  • Shelley: Have you ever tried any positions from the Kama Sutra?
  • Elgin Smith: I doubt it.
  • Shelley: I'll tell you about Krishna and Rahda.
  • Elgin Smith: Okay.
  • Shelley: Krishna was the god of all the heavens and Radha was this young Indian maiden he wanted to make love to; but, because he was a god and she was just a maiden he couldn't do it. So, he invented a position, called the defying position.
  • Elgin Smith: The defying position.
  • Shelley: The defying position. Um, you hold my leg up like that and hold it like this.
  • Elgin Smith: You've got to be kidding.
  • Shelley: No! It's great. You'll love it. I - I think. Wait. Hold on. Oh! Oh! Now, see. But, wait. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh! Oo, that feels good.
  • Elgin Smith: Shelley, you won't believe this; but, there is an easier way.
  • Shelley: [enters wearing only a towel] Oh, hi. You're Elgin, right? Look, I just want to make sure I came in through the right window. Um, do you have a sweater or something I could put on?
  • Shelley: Some women are so jealous. I'm not. Are you?
  • Elgin Smith: Well, I don't think I'd like it if my girlfriend was messing around, no.
  • Shelley: That's *sweet*. That's old fashioned. I like that in a man.
  • Elgin Smith: Would you like to go for a drink or something? I don't have any dope.
  • Shelley: I bet I could find your room. Once I've been someplace once, I'm just like a homing pigeon.
  • Elgin Smith: My room?
  • Shelley: Yeah. Third floor.
  • [in a fake French accent]
  • Shelley: Ze zecond one ze left.
  • Elgin Smith: Shelley, what are you doing?
  • Shelley: I'm taking my clothes off.
  • Shelley: Do you know her?
  • Felicia: I hate that when you recognize someone. You'll probably wake up in the middle of the night and then you'll think of it.
  • Shelley: Maybe he won't be asleep in the middle of the night.
  • Felicia: [to Shelley's date, Elgin] Do you have insomnia.
  • Shelley: You want to make love?
  • Elgin Smith: Just like that? Have you been reading a lot of Cosmopolitan or something?
  • Shelley: You may not believe this, but, I've never said that to a guy before. But, you're kind of different. I feel sort of - maternal. Oh, it's not in a bad way. It's in a sexy way.
  • Shelley: You can't handle a real woman. You want us all to be shy violets.
  • Shelley: What do you think? Do you think everything's just a mess? I mean, do you think that everybody's looking for something that they can't find?
  • Shelley: Do you want to make love?
  • Elgin Smith: I always end up saying no to you, don't I?
  • Elgin Smith: Sit down. Have a seat. I sound like a receptionist. Have a seat. The doctor will be right with you.
  • Shelley: Oh, Doc, it's an emergency. I have a broken life. Maybe we should x-ray it.
  • Shelley: You know, I'd stay all night. I'd do whatever you'd want to do. But, you have to know that it's me. That's all I want.
  • Elgin Smith: I know. I know.
  • Shelley: You just have to know it's me.
  • Elgin Smith: I know.
  • Shelley: Know you don't. Nobody does.
