- Telephone Operator: Operator. May I help you?
- Alex Forrest: Operator, I've been trying to get 555-812-9212? The recording says its been disconnected.
- Telephone Operator: Just a moment please.
- [pause]
- Telephone Operator: I'm sorry, the number's been changed to an unlisted number.
- Alex Forrest: Operator, this is a real emergency .You need to give me that number.
- Telephone Operator: I'm sorry. We're not allowed to give out that information.
- Alex Forrest: Well, fuck you!
- Telephone Operator: My place or yours?
- [Alex slams phone]
- Dan Gallagher: You're so sad. You know that, Alex? Lonely and very sad.
- Alex Forrest: Don't you ever pity me, you smug bastard.
- Dan Gallagher: I'll pity you... I'll pity you. I'll pity you because you're sick.
- Alex Forrest: Why? Because I won't allow you to treat me like some slut you can just bang a couple of times and throw in the garbage?
- Dan Gallagher: Look, Alex... I like you. And maybe if I wasn't with somebody else, I'd be with you. But I am.
- Alex Forrest: Please don't justify yourself, it's pathetic. If you'd tell me to fuck off, I'd have more respect for you.
- Dan Gallagher: All right, then. Fuck off.
- Alex Forrest: [from her tape, which Dan is listening to] Hello, Dan. Are you surprised? This is what you've reduced me to. I guess you thought you'd get away with it. Well... you can't. 'Cause part of you is growing inside of me, and that's a fact, Dan, and... you'd better start... learning how to deal with it. 'Cause you know, I... I feel you. I taste you. I think you. I touch you. Can you understand? Can you? I'm just... asking you... to acknowledge your responsibilities. Is that so bad? I don't think so. I-I don't think it's unreasonable. And, you know, another thing is that you thought that you could just walk into my life, and turn it upside down, without a thought for anyone but yourself. You know what you are, Dan? You're a cock-sucking son of a bitch. I hate you. I bet you don't even like girls, do you? Ha! You disappoint me, you fucking faggot!
- Dan Gallagher: Why are you trying to hurt me?
- Alex Forrest: I'm not trying to hurt you, Dan, I love you!
- Dan Gallagher: You what?
- Alex Forrest: I love you!
- Dan Gallagher: You don't even know me.
- Alex Forrest: How can you say that?
- Alex Forrest: [to Dan] We were attracted to each other at the party. That was obvious. You're on your own for the night. That's also obvious. We're two adults.
- Alex Forrest: You're here with a strange girl being a naughty boy.
- Dan Gallagher: I don't think having dinner with anybody's a crime.
- Alex Forrest: Not yet.
- Alex Forrest: Have you ever done it in an elevator?
- Dan Gallagher: Not recently, no.
- Alex Forrest: I bet you haven't.
- Alex Forrest: I had a wonderful time last night. I'd like to see you again. Is that so terrible?
- Dan Gallagher: No. I just don't think it's possible.
- Alex Forrest: [to Beth] And don't you think I understand what you're doing? You're trying to move him into the country... and you're keeping him away from me. And you're playing happy family. Aren't you?
- [begins to slice her own leg with a butcher knife]
- Alex Forrest: You wouldn't understand that because you're so... so selfish. He told me about you. He told me about you. He was very honest. If you weren't so stupid, you'd know that. But you're so stupid. You're so stupid... you're a stupid, selfish bitch!
- Alex Forrest: You must have to be discreet.
- Dan Gallagher: Oh, god yeah.
- Alex Forrest: Are you?
- Dan Gallagher: Am I what?
- Alex Forrest: Discreet?
- Dan Gallagher: Yes, I'm discreet.
- Alex Forrest: Me too.
- Alex Forrest: [as Dan walks into the living room] So, what can I get you? I got Scotch, I got Vodka, a nice Chablis...
- Dan Gallagher: CUT THE SHIT, WILL YA? JUST CUT IT! I don't know what you're up to, but I'm gonna tell you, it's gonna stop right now.
- Alex Forrest: No, it's not gonna stop. It's gonna go on and on until you face up to your responsibilities.
- Dan Gallagher: WHAT RESPONSIBILITIES?
- Alex Forrest: I'm pregnant. I'm gonna have our child.
- Dan Gallagher: Alex, that's your choice, honey! It has nothing to do with me!
- Alex Forrest: I just want to be a part of your life.
- Dan Gallagher: Oh, this is the way you do it, huh? Showing up at my apartment?
- Alex Forrest: What was I supposed to do? You won't answer my calls, you change your number. I mean, I'm not gonna be ignored, Dan!
- Dan Gallagher: You don't get it. You just, you don't get it.
- Alex Forrest: Don't you remember our weekend? Wasn't that wonderful? Why can't we just be like that again? I know you feel it, too. I mean, what are you so afraid of?
- Dan Gallagher: [as she tries to get intimate] Hey hey hey hey. Just don't flatter yourself, Alex.
- Alex Forrest: Go ahead, hit me. If you can't fuck me, why don't you just hit me.
- Dan Gallagher: You're just so sad. You know that, Alex? Lonely and very sad.
- Alex Forrest: [as he walks towards the door with her following him] Don't you ever pity me, you smug bastard.
- Dan Gallagher: I'll pity you. I'll pity you because you're sick.
- Alex Forrest: Why? Because I won't allow you treat me like some slut you could just bang a couple of times and throw in the garbage? I'm gonna be the Mother of your child. I want a little respect.
- Dan Gallagher: You want respect?
- [Softly, as he walks away]
- Dan Gallagher: Respect.
- Alex Forrest: What are you doing? Dan? Please don't go. I didn't mean it. Please, I'm sorry. I'll tell your wife!
- Dan Gallagher: [as he throws her up against the wall] You tell my wife, I'll kill you.
- Alex Forrest: [as he leaves] It only takes a phone call!
