Quotes8

  • [last lines]
  • Mickey: You know, I was talking to your father before, and I was telling him that it's ironic I, I - used to always have Thanksgiving with Hannah, and I never thought that I could love anybody else. And here it is years later and I'm married to you and completely in love with you. The heart is a very, very resilient little muscle, it really is, I - make a great story, I think, guy marries one sister, doesn't work out, many years later he winds up married to the other sister, it's. You know, to - how you gonna top that? Hmm.
  • Holly: Mickey.
  • Mickey: Mmm, what?
  • Holly: I'm pregnant.
  • Holly: I love songs about extraterrestrial life, don't you?
  • Mickey: Not when they're sung by extraterrestrials.
  • Holly: Naturally I get taken home first. Well, obviously he prefers April. Of course I was so tongue-tied all night. I can't believe I said that about the Guggenheim,. My stupid rollerskating joke. I should never tell jokes. Mom can tell 'em and Hannah, but I kill 'em.
  • [Glaring at the offscreen April's back]
  • Holly: Where did April come up with that stuff about Adolph Loos and terms like "organic form"?
  • [Looking out to the side window, pausing for a moment]
  • Holly: Well, naturally. She went to Brandeis. But I don't think she knows what she's talking about. Could you believe the way she was calling him David? "Yes, David. I feel that way, too, David. What a marvelous space, David." I hate April. She's pushy. Now, they'll dump me and she'll invite him up. I. blew it.
  • Holly: [sarcastically] What a swell time!
  • Mickey: Well, if you didn't like it, you didn't like it. But, you didn't have to talk while he was singing.
  • Holly: I was so bored!
  • Mickey: Yeah, that's tough. You don't deserve Cole Porter. You should stay with groups that look like they're gonna stab their mothers.
  • Norma: Sweetheart, I loved your script. It was so clever.
  • Holly: Ma, you're my mother. Not everybody's gonna be such a sucker.
  • Norma: I particularly liked the character of the mother. Just a boozy old flirt with a filthy mouth. I'm so proud.
  • Holly: What I decided to do is some writing. You know, I think I've had it with acting. You know, these meaningless auditions and cattle calls and I can't handle another rejection. Now, let's face it, here. I've got to latch on to something in my life! Something with a future. I'm not 16 anymore.
  • Hannah: I invited Phil Gamisch tonight.
  • Holly: Oh, Hannah, he's such a loser!...
  • Hannah: He's not a loser at all. He's the headmaster at school.
  • Holly: Oh, perfect. He reminds me of Ichabod Crane. His Adam's apple keeps jumping up and down when he's excited.
  • Holly: [singing] This year's fancies, Are passing fancies, But sighing sighs, holding hands, This my heart understands, I'm old-fashioned, And I don't mind it, It's how I want to be, As long as you'll agree, To stay old-fashioned with me...
