- Louise Keeley: Who is this boy, Barbie? When was the last time you saw him?
- Barbara Keeley: Please don't call me Barbie. This afternoon at two o'clock. We've been sleeping together for a year.
- Senator Kevin Keeley: Oh God, has he been tested?
- Louise Keeley: Oh, Kevin!
- Barbara Keeley: Yes, and so have I.
- [Louise screams]
- Louise Keeley: [hearing Albert's wails] Is someone else home?
- Armand: Just our dog, Piranha. We always lock her in when there's company.
- Club Patron: I've never danced with a man before.
- Louise Keeley: [in female drag] There's always a first time.
- Senator Kevin Keeley: I'm so glad I got on Jackson's bandwagon instead of Dole. Dole is just too, too...
- Louise Keeley: Dark.
- Senator Kevin Keeley: Well, I was gonna say liberal, but he's dark, too.
- Louise Keeley: I noticed you didn't have this kind of blind sympathy for Bessy Jackson!
- Senator Kevin Keeley: Bessy Jackson is an insensitive cow!
- Louise Keeley: [Mrs. Keeley is angry at Sen. Keeley] I feel like I've never seen you before! I don't even know WHO you are! You don't care about Barbara, all you care about is your career... and *poor*, little Mrs. Coleman!
- [on the phone]
- Senator Kevin Keeley: Hello, Ben. Ready for what? WHAT?
- Louise Keeley: What's the matter, Kevin?
- Senator Kevin Keeley: Jackson's dead.
- Louise Keeley: Oh my God!
- Senator Kevin Keeley: He died in bed? Whose bed? A prostitute?
- Louise Keeley: No!
- Senator Kevin Keeley: A minor? And black?
- Louise Keeley: What?
- Senator Kevin Keeley: I don't believe this! I don't FUCKING believe this!
- Senator Kevin Keeley: Look, this will just have to wait until after the election. I can't deal with this now.
- Louise Keeley: Where does this young man come from, Barbie..ra? Who is his father?
- Barbara Keeley: [tensely] His father... is in the arts. On the council. The Council of cultural Arts.
- Barbara Keeley: Really?
- Senator Kevin Keeley: The ones that funded the Mapplethorpe exhibit?
- Barbara Keeley: No, no. Goodness, no. He's a cultural attache to Greece.
- Louise Keeley: Really?
- Senator Kevin Keeley: What the hell is that?
- Louise Keeley: That... that.s a diplomatic post, isn.t it? Almost like an ambassador? What does the mother do?
- Barbara Keeley: She's a... housewife.
- Louise Keeley: Well, that's really refreshing, isn't it, Kevin?
- Senator Kevin Keeley: I don't want to talk about this now.
