Quotes 

• Dee : Jane, do you ever feel like you are just this far from being completely hysterical twenty four hours a day?

  Jane : Half the people I know feel that way. The lucky ones feel that way. The rest of the people ARE hysterical twenty four hours a day.

• Dee : You've denied me in every way you can. Everything I've wanted, you've denied me.

  Mack : I've been honest all along. Even that night.

  Dee : Who gives a shit? Don't you see what you do? Even now, you wanna deny me what's rightfully mine.

  Mack : Which is?

  Dee : To resent the hell outta you. To feel totally rejected and hated. To hate you for doing it to me. There are good men out there who are gonna treat me like I'm the very thing they want. And then you do that thing with Jane.

  Mack : What?

  Dee : You know, with that guy, that tow-truck guy.

  Mack : What about it? What's that got to do with anything?

  Dee : You don't even know, do you? You don't even know why that hurts me so much. Jane's in love. She thinks this could be the one.

  Mack : Is that bad? I thought she was your friend.

  Dee : She is my friend. I'm very happy for her, but it makes me feel like shit... that you're out there finding her the love of her life and I'm here like what? I'm here like shit. How do you think that's gonna make me feel?

  Mack : Dee, I understand you're angry with me, but why would...?

  Dee : Forget it. It doesn't have to make sense.

• Mack : He's kinda lonely, but he seems peaceful about it.

  Jane : That would be nice.

  Dee : Ya know, it would be great if you could sort of be down about things, but still be alright with it. Like, finally accept that fact that you're gonna feel bad most of the time and not fight it.

  Mack : Of course, it would also be nice not to feel bad most of the time.

  Dee : Yeah, but that's how you get yourself in trouble. By thinking how nice it'd be to be happy more.

• Dee : One of the things I think is so great about him is how devoted he is to his wife and kid.

  Jane : You are so full of shit, you know that? You may not even know, but you really are. You're sayin' what they *all* say at first. I've seen it many times, honey. If he is so devoted to his wife, what's he doin' messin' around with you?

• Dee : We must be going about this whole thing wrong or something.

  Jane : What thing?

  Dee : The love thing. The touch thing. Where there's somebody to touch you, real nice and gentle.

  Jane : It doesn't have to be that gentle.

• Dee : You know what your problem is? You never want to be the bad guy. You want everything you do to be right, but it isn't. If you really didn't want me to go, you shouldn't have fucked me.

• Dee : I'm very happy for her, but it makes me feel like shit that you're out there finding her the love of her life and I'm here like what? I'm here like shit.

• Mack : Who's up?

  Dee : Mrs. Flores and her 3 sons.

  Mack : Hmm. Then what?

  Dee : At 4:30, Mr. Duk.

  Mack : Mr. Duck?

  Dee : Mr. Duk.

  Mack : Mr. Daffy Duk?

  Dee : You're awful. That's why I can't stand you.
