Renée Zellweger credited as playing...
Barbara Novak
- Catcher Block: [as Zip Martin] Can you keep a secret?
- Barbara Novak: Yes.
- Catcher Block: [as Zip Martin] Me too.
- Barbara Novak: Another ruse, Catcher? You know I have no interest in seeing you.
- Catcher Block: But you know you have to, and you know I know you have to. I'm sure you know how things are at KNOW ever since your new NOW.
- Barbara Novak: I have no way of knowing how things are now at KNOW. I knew how things were at KNOW before NOW.
- Catcher Block: Then you should know now at KNOW things are a lot like they are at NOW, we have to interview every applicant for every job, and so do you or you'd be going against NOW's definition of discrimination and you wouldn't want the readers of NOW or KNOW to know that, now would you?
- Barbara Novak: Have a seat, Mr. Block.
- Barbara Novak: [looking through a telescope] I've never seen anything so beautiful.
- Catcher Block: [looking at Barbara] Neither have I.
- Barbara Novak: But you're not even looking through the telescope.
- Catcher Block: I know.
- Barbara Novak: Have a candy bar for your trouble, and thanks again for thinking of us.
- Catcher Block: But I'm always thinking of you, Miss Novak. I can't stop thinking of you, and I'd like you to reconsider considering me.
- Barbara Novak: Even at a pay cut of 96.6%?
- Catcher Block: It's only money. Besides, I've been on top so long I thought it might be nice to try a new position
- Barbara Novak: And you think you could be comfortable in a position under a woman?
- Catcher Block: I look forward to it. Starting at the bottom, working my way up slowly to the top.
- Barbara Novak: Vegas?
- Catcher Block: We can get married there right away. I'm not letting you get away again
- Barbara Novak: Oh, Catch.
- Catcher Block: I love you, Barbara.
- Barbara Novak: I know.
- Barbara Novak: Oh, I'd like to Zip, really, I would. But just the fact that I'd like to give you another chance is the very reason I absolutely must not. Goodbye, Zip
- [Catch kisses her as she tries to leave]
- Barbara Novak: Ok, one more chance. I'll just um... say goodnight, and goodbye.
- [takes chocolate]
- Peter MacMannus: It's not like Catch to be late.
- Barbara Novak: No, he usually calls to cancel right on time...
- Catcher Block: I'm so sorry, Miss Novak, the darndest thing. I got waylaid by the sweetest Swedish Lapphund who kept me up half the night, and I'm afraid I'm still in bed.
- Barbara Novak: My, you do get way laid.
- [last lines in post-credit sequence]
- Catcher Block: Here, this'll put hairs on your chest. Not that I would want that.
- Barbara Novak: Mmm-hmm.
- Barbara Novak, Catcher Block: [singing] Here's to love.
- Barbara Novak: I'd like to get to know you better.
- Catcher Block: How much better?
- Barbara Novak: All the way better.
- Catcher Block: Well, I can't know you all the way better till I know you much, much better
- Barbara Novak: Do you feel you know me well enough for me to buy you a drink?
- Catcher Block: I sure could go for a Tang.
- Catcher Block: [as Zip] Well then, let's get to bed... I'll call you a taxi.
- [picks up the phone]
- Barbara Novak: [confused] Taxi?
- Catcher Block: ...Oh. When I said "bed," you thought I meant... *bed*.
