Quotes18

  • Wendy: At 21 years, we're on our third itch... or it's male menopause.
  • Wendy: I just don't understand why men do that, wag their balls in your face.
  • Wendy: My sister and I were left alone to raise our mother.
  • Wendy: Excuse me, you've never, you've never met her?
  • Darwan: She's from a village near where I grew up. My sister picked her out for me.
  • Wendy: If my sister picked out a husband for me, he would be some dick-less.
  • Darwan: Yes, you are better off... That is why you're alone and crazy.
  • Darwan: Wendy... Could we go...? Somewhere we can celebrate, a dinner, please? Or just a coffee sometime, just to chat.
  • Wendy: I can't.
  • Darwan: I want to see you again.
  • Wendy: I know. The trouble is...
  • Darwan: What? What?
  • Wendy: You're a good man. You are my faith.
  • Wendy: I unfriended god a long time ago
  • Ted: When did you ever notice anything, Wendy? On the rare case when you look up from your book or your fucking computer, you look right through me like I'm a ghost.
  • Wendy: Well, I'm looking through you now and you are a prick.
  • Darwan: [talking about driving] You can't always trust people to behave properly.
  • Wendy: [talking about Ted] Ain't that the truth?
  • Wendy: [about the book, the joy of sex] Well, hand it. Let's see if there's anything we didn't cover.
  • [Ted hands her the book. She reads aloud]
  • Wendy: Missionary - check. Standing - check. Rear entry
  • [Both laugh]
  • Wendy: - Oh, check.
  • Darwan: I think it's time to discuss road rage. You must learn to be calm and relaxed. Not only to drive, But also in your life as well.
  • Wendy: And how do you manage that?
  • Darwan: Prayer helps me. I pray everyday.
  • Wendy: I'm mad at your God too.
  • Wendy: Come on in...
  • Ted: You look fine.
  • Wendy: Therefore I am.
  • Wendy: [driving through the parking garage] Look, here is America.
  • Business Man: You don't understand how much I envy you. I love nothing more than to live a life of a mind.
  • Wendy: I'd like something to take my mind off my mind.
  • Darwan: Pass him. Put on your signal, give it the gas.
  • Wendy: [she maneuvers smoothly]
  • Darwan: Very good. You only need a little courage, and a little gas.
  • Wendy: You know there is a reason some people are alone... Because they deserve to be.
  • Wendy: Darwan, thank you. I'll be hearing your voice in my head... For a long time.
  • Darwan: That would please me.
  • Wendy: Let me get you some real money.
  • Darwan: I don't want anything, I like to help.
  • Wendy: You like to help? That is impossible. You can't be from New York.
  • Darwan: Yes, I am. From Queens.
  • Wendy: That's not really New York, but... You're very kind and I thank you.
  • Wendy: [attempting to parallel park] I'm lost.
  • Darwan: Wendy, how do you know if you put in... Enough salt and pepper when you're making a stew?
  • Wendy: You taste it.
  • Darwan: Right. So what do you do when you lose track of which way the car is pointing... When you parallel park?
  • Wendy: You taste it?
  • Darwan: You just let the car move back a tiny bit... And see which way it goes. Taste the direction.
  • Wendy: And then you adjust the seasoning?
  • Darwan: Right. You adjust a little bit and a little bit. And now I've made myself hungry. I'll go home and make myself a curry.
