Lea Thompson: Stacy

Casual Sex?

Stacy

Stacy: [narrating] Okay, when I first met Vinny, I thought, this guy is a living argument for birth control. But as I get to know him better, I realize he's just like the rest of us: a mess.

Stacy: "Safe sex" -- who would have ever thought those two words would exist in the same sentence?

[Nick leaves the room to fetch a condom.]
Stacy: [to the camera] This is a miracle! For once it's all up to him. No tubes, no jellies, no furtive trips to the bathroom... I can just sit back and let it happen. I don't have to do anything.
Nick: [returning] I'm not too good with these things. Can you give me a hand putting it on?

Vinny: Hey, need a lift?
Stacy: Vinny! What are you doing here?
Vinny: I was just driving around the neighborhood. Last night I did something-- Look, it's like this. It's Christmas Day, I'm sitting around my house, right, I'm all alone... so, uh, I hop in the limo... 24 hours later, I wind up in Chicago. And I say to myself, Vincent, where the hell you going? That's when it hits me... I'm coming to see you.
Stacy: You drove all that way just to see me?
Vinny: Hey, only 4 days and, what, 18 speeding tickets.

[After she dumps him.]
Nick: Okay, that's okay. But let me tell you, you're making a big mistake. 'Cause I am going to make it.
Stacy: Good.
Nick: I'm going to be huge. I'm going to be bigger than huge! I'm going to be on the cover of Rolling Stone magaz-- no, forget that. I'm going to be on the cover of Time magazin-- no! Forget that... I... I... am going to have... *more fans than Elvis*!
Stacy: Good.
Nick: Yeah! And I won't even be dead! Think about it.

Stacy: Yeah. Now, when you're with a guy, you're not just sleeping with him, you're sleeping with everyone they've had sex with.
Ilene: And everyone they've had sex with.
Ilene, Melissa: And everyone *they've* had sex with!
Melissa: Gee, I'm a lot more experienced than I thought I was!
[They laugh.]

Ilene: What do you miss most about sex?
Stacy: Whoo... I miss falling asleep with someone's arms around me. And the feeling of, mm...
Ilene: Orgasm? I love orgasms.
Stacy: Mmm. I'm sick of my Mighty Intruder vibrator with the flexible shaft and the textured head.

Stacy: This is kind of embarrassing to admit, but I remember when it was actually fun to say, "WOW, that really felt great! What's your name again?"
Melissa: I've never had sex with someone I didn't know. For that matter, I've never said, "Wow, that felt really great."

[About the sexy Megan.]
Stacy: Don't let it get to you. Just think, if you separated her individual body parts with, say, like a huge a meat cleaver, and then laid them out on a table, you wouldn't think she was such hot stuff.

Stacy: [reading] "Dear Stacy, I hope you don't mind me writing to you, but the only other letter I ever wrote was to the editor of Flex magazine, and that was just to say how much I enjoyed this particular article called - "
Vinny: "Hammer Those Gluts 'Til Your Butt's Like a Bowling Ball."

Stacy: [narrating] It was the early eighties, and sex was still a good way to meet new people.

Stacy: I was celibate for so long, I started to feel like a can of kitchen cleanser: you know, sterile and gritty and abrasive. When we made love -- I don't know, I felt like a human again, a mammal, with breasts.

[After reading the "Pretend You're Sensitive Handbook".]
Vinny: Stacy, how nice to see you. Do you have a few minutes? I mean, it occurred to me, I don't even know where you work.
Stacy: Where I work?
Vinny: Yeah, you know, your career plans, your dreams, your aspirations... I really want to hear all about them.
Stacy: What I want? I don't even know -- ask me what anyone else wants. Give me three seconds, I'll figure out your whole entire life.
Vinny: Would you maybe want to share something with me about your childhood, perhaps?
Stacy: Vinny, what the hell are you talking about? I'm in a big rush. Look, I have to go talk to Melissa, because if I don't figure out something about my life soon, I'm going to crack!
Vinny: I respect your strength, Stacy, and I think you've got a lot of potential!
