Quotes5

  • Paula McCullen: Breasts too large, Richard? Every female character you create has breasts too large.
  • Richard Babson: Mmm... but I make them suffer for it.
  • 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.
  • Tom Babson: Guess you're too old for a father-and-son talk.
  • Richard Babson: Try me.
  • Tom Babson: Are you kind?
  • Richard Babson: Yes, sir.
  • Tom Babson: Patient and understanding?
  • Richard Babson: Try to be.
  • Tom Babson: Got your sense of humor?
  • Richard Babson: Oh, thank God.
  • Tom Babson: You know all about sex?
  • Richard Babson: Ha ha, more than you.
  • Tom Babson: Don't be so sure...
  • Richard Babson: Ha. What do you think? Did I pass?
  • Tom Babson: Nope. None of those things got a goddamned thing to do with makin' a marriage.
  • Richard Babson: That's good. Because I was lying.
  • [both start chuckling]
  • Tom Babson: You know, the only important thing is, do you love her? You know, son, I was tuning your mother out for 42 years... but I still love her.
  • Richard Babson: I know, dad.
  • 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!
