Quotes5

  • Anthony: Julia, excuse me for overhearing, but I just want to add my two cents.
  • Julia: [laughs sarcastically] Oh please... I just want to hear from EVERYONE on this topic! Call your friends!
  • Anthony: No no, I was just going to say that you can't force yourself to start dating again if it isn't time. I know because there was a time where I wasn't interested in any romantic involvement at all. The whole idea didn't appeal to me, period... no matter who approached me, I just wasn't interested.
  • Julia: Really, Anthony. When was that?
  • Anthony: That was the day I entered prison.
  • Mary Jo: Anthony, where have you been all morning?
  • Anthony: The question should be, "Where have I been all night?" I'll tell you where I've been. I was locked in the basement of Suzanne's house!
  • Allison: Oh, were you locked in there? I thought I heard something.
  • Anthony: Did it sound anything like someone shouting "Let me out of here, bitch!"?
  • Allison: [annoyed because Anthony has made her his "servant" due to the fact that her name isn't on the lease to the house] Oh forget it, I'm not doing this anymore!
  • Anthony: Well then just go ahead and leave!
  • Allison: You know very well I can't leave! Possession is 9/10 of the law if I leave, I don't have any chance of getting back into this house... but you are not driving me out of here, I don't care what you do to me.
  • [starts to fake-cry]
  • Allison: Well, I hope you're happy with yourself. Torturing me like this!
  • Anthony: Oh now, don't start this, now you know that if you had just stayed in the guest room instead of trying to take over the whole house, it wouldn't have gotten this far.
  • Allison: [still fake-crying] My tears don't mean anything to you, do they?
  • Anthony: [short pause] Uh-uh!
  • Allison: [stops fake crying] OK, let's move along to credit then!
  • Anthony: [in a bubble bath, ringing a bell persistently]
  • Allison: [walks into bathroom exasperated] What is it this time?
  • Anthony: I need a hand towel.
  • Allison: I already gave you a hand towel!
  • Anthony: Well this one isn't fluffy enough!
  • Allison: This one is PLENTY fluffy, I fluffed it myself!
  • Anthony: Well, you need to work on your fluffin'!
  • Anthony: Oh ALLISON!
  • Allison: [annoyed] What?
  • Anthony: My ginger ale isn't bubbly anymore!
  • [Allison takes the glass of ginger ale, blows bubbles into the straw, and hands it back to him]
  • Anthony: You know, you are obnoxious.
  • Allison: I know... I have OPD, it is NOT my fault!
