Leo : You fucked with my albums?
Mary : I organized them.
Leo : Mary, there was a stack right here, it took me a week to pull them!

Leo : Small collections? There are over 1,000 records here!
Mary : I know, it took me all day to do it, Leo, they were a mess.
Leo : What are you, my mother? They *were* in order! Jesus, I gotta be at Rene's in 20 minutes and you totally fucked my albums!
Mary : I worked on this all day, it'll help you.
Leo : You bitch! You fucking bitch! You have ruined my life, you know that? You ruined my fucking life.
Mary : Give the system a chance. I made three card catalogues: titles, subjects and artists. Every categories of music: tribal, sleaze, disco, those are further sub-divided. Here's the list, Crisco disco, Frisco disco, now each album is coated with the yellow sticker, the red sticker means that Teddy Rogers worked on it, that's a no-no, we know that. Here's your #2 pencil, use this for scrap paper.
Leo : It's over, everything.
Mary : Write down the title and the author, artist, use all caps, that's not neat.
Leo : [stands up] What the fuck am I doing?
Mary : Okay, Leonard, fine, what do you need?
Leo : Mighty Real from Sylvester.
Mary : Okay, here we go.

Leo : What do you mean?
Mary : What does our life mean?
Leo : *What* life?
