Quotes15

  • Jane: ...Do you miss it?
  • Robin: What?
  • Jane: Sex.
  • Robin: Yeah, I do... You know what's weird? You never know the last time you sleep with somebody it's the last time. You're thinking: "Oh, we got problems, we got work to do," you know, but you never think... and then you break up and a month later you look back and you go: "Oh, that was it." That Tuesday or Friday or whenever, and you wished you paid attention because it was the last time... Well.
  • Jane: You were gonna bring a baby into that house?
  • Holly: Oh, like, what were my options?
  • Jane: How about abortion?
  • Holly: I couldn't do that. I'd feel like a murderer.
  • Jane: Honey, you *are* a murderer.
  • Massarelli, Prosecuting Attorney: One last time: are - you - gay?
  • Jane: Yes - I - am.
  • [Massarelli turns away, satisfied]
  • Jane: I bet a lot of women tell you that. But in my case, it happens to be true.
  • Jane: She's holding you back, man. Everyone says so. She's like Yoko with bangs.
  • Holly: Did I hurt him?
  • Jane: What do you mean did you hurt him, you hit him with a bat!
  • Jane: [Elaine is crying at Robin's bedside, the nurse thinks her sniffles are relative to a cold, and tells her she could aggravate her daughter's condition] It's not a goddamn cold! Don't be such a hoo-hoo.
  • Nurse: [apathetic] And what's a hoo-hoo?
  • Elaine: [kindly] It's a cunt, dear.
  • [nurse gasps]
  • Elaine: Now why don't you leave us alone?
  • Robin: Don't you knock?
  • Jane: Not in a public toilet, no.
  • Jane: No, we're not taking drug money on the road with us. Put it back.
  • Holly: Well, it's not like you can tell by looking at it.
  • Jane: OK, you have a point: we'll just take half, all right? And we are not taking drugs on the road with us, either. So give them back.
  • [Holly returns the stash]
  • Jane: Thank you.
  • Holly: You're welcome.
  • Jane: The farther away from that body I get, the happier I'll be.
  • Holly: Oh, God. To think it's possible I killed my baby's daddy.
  • Jane: "To think it's possible?" You hit him in the head with a baseball bat. He's dead.
  • Holly: No, I mean, it's possible that Nick is the daddy.
  • Jane: Why did you stay with this guy so long?
  • Holly: [exhales heavily] A lot of that back there was drugs, you know. They really fuck him up.
  • Jane: But he's a really nice guy underneath?
  • Holly: Well, I wouldn't go that far.
  • [Jane laughs]
  • Robin: My mom always felt, you know, you can't trust women.
  • Jane: I don't know about that.
  • Robin: Oh come on, men know all about PMS. Somebody talked.
  • Jane: I'm not after you.
  • Robin: I'm not worried.
  • [pause]
  • Robin: Why?
  • Jane: Luck of the draw, I guess.
  • Robin: No, I mean... why aren't you after me?
  • [Jane and Abe ran to the neonatal ward]
  • Abe: [reading the tumbler tags] Fristad. Mitchell. Pulchik.
  • [Finds a black baby in the Pulchik tumbler; looks at Jane]
  • Jane: Don't look at me.
  • Robin: I had a crush on a woman once. I was ten.
  • Jane: That's when I had crushes on boys.
  • Robin: She... she was a strawberry blonde. That's what my mom called her. She was the babysitter at a hotel we stayed at right before my dad went to Vietnam. She's beautiful. Strawberry blonde.
  • Jane: I used to be strawberry blonde too.
  • Robin: It was me you loved, wasn't it?
  • Jane: Yeah. Still.
  • Robin: I loved you too.
