  • Steve: Maybe you just don't fancy her.
  • Patrick: But she was naked. She could've been anyone.
  • Steve: Should you kiss her now or does that mean you gotta start from the top again?
  • Jeff: Should you be making noises yet? Is it too soon to grunt?
  • Steve: [snaps fingers] And then, the killer - out of nowhere, for no reason you can think of, you call her *huskily* "baby".
  • Jeff: You never called her baby before.
  • Steve: You've never called anyone baby before.
  • Jeff: So why did you just call her baby? Suddenly you're starting to blush
  • Steve: Now, you're blushing *and* you've got and erection. No-one's got enough blood!
  • Jeff: The engines cut. They can't take it.
  • Steve: Then the melty man hits you with his secret weapon.
  • Jeff: Just one single thought is placed in your mind at this crucial time.
  • Steve: Please God! Don't let me lose my erection!
  • Jeff: [hand goes down] Pufff.
  • Patrick: [with terror and disblief] How do you guys manage to have sex?
  • Steve: ["duh!" voice] We don't.

  • Patrick: Yes, you look great. You've got a great body.
  • Sally: So what is it? My feet? My taste in hats, what?
  • Patrick: There's nothing I don't like. What's wrong with you!
  • Sally: Nothing, apparently! My great personality is inside my great body. So why aren't you?
  • Patrick: Body swerve. Close one, Patrick.
  • Patrick: You're like a friend to me, only you're a woman.
  • Patrick: If I don't like a woman, if there's no chemistry, if I'm not attracted to her, then I don't lead her on. I just get out of there. Every time. Before she even wakes up.
  • Patrick: No more theories, no more doors. This time ... I'm going in.
  • Patrick: You don't have to be thoughtful when it comes to the body swerve.
  • Patrick: Come on, rocket man. Let's fly her ... to the moon.
  • Patrick: Sally, there are some words you just don't say to a man. They're too technical, like commitment or cervix.
  • Patrick: You can come inside if you like.
  • Sally: Yes, but can you?
