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.

• 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.

• Simon : Mack must have had some reason to think this would work. I guess you've known him a while, huh?

  Jane : I don't know him at all.

  Simon : Really? Wow. I don't know him much, either. That's funny. Maybe we're the only two black people he ever met.

• Simon : Do you believe in fate?

  Jane : I believe in luck.
