Vincent Spano: Marc Demetrius

Quotes 

• female caller #1 : [phoning in, on speakerphone]  He tries to kiss me, but I slap his face away. I tug hard on his leash, and I lead him into the kitchen, lock the door behind us so he can't get out!

  Marc Demetrius : Uh-huh. I see.

  female caller #1 : [as Marc paces while listening]  He bites my underwear.

  [with much laughter in her voice:] 

  female caller #1 : He starts tugging at it.

  [chuckles] 

  female caller #1 : I grab his ears and say "Slowly, Hans, slowly!" Hello? Are you there?

  Marc Demetrius : Sure, I'm just, uh... enthralled. Go on.

  [from across office, colleagues snicker] 

  female caller #1 : Then I smear pancake butter on my breasts, on my... you know, between my legs. Hans watches me and licks his lips.

  Marc Demetrius : I'm sorry, remind me, Hans is who?

  female caller #1 : My German Shepherd.

  Marc Demetrius : Right. Okay. Go on.

  female caller #1 : Okay, he licks at the batter. Now I, you know...

  Marc Demetrius : [as his grinning editor comes walking in]  You orgasm. Yeah, sure.

  female caller #1 : And that's basically it.

  Marc Demetrius : Well, that's plenty. Now, if you don't mind, would you please state your name, age and occupation for me.

  female caller #1 : Forty-seven... a kindergarten teacher.

  Marc Demetrius : You know something, I had a hunch.

• Sara Robbins : [as they ride back]  I hardly think that he's being unreasonable, you know? He's old and he's sick and he would like to see me get married before he dies.

  Marc Demetrius : Honey, every time you see your Dad you think he's gonna die. He's not gonna die. He's the healthiest guy I know.

  Sara Robbins : No, but Daddy has a bad heart, and you know it. I want my father to give me away. Not my brother, not my uncle, not some co-worker, my Dad...!

  [her hand clutches her upper chest] 

  Sara Robbins : So, if you intend to marry me, we need to set a date.

  [no answer from him] 

  Sara Robbins : And if you don't... then tell me now and we will go our separate ways.

• Marc Demetrius : [answers phone]  Demetrius.

  Nicole : I did it.

  Marc Demetrius : [leans forward, switches on recorder]  Did what?

  Nicole : Funked my stranger.

  Marc Demetrius : Where?

  Nicole : Well, um...

  [she is seen entering her studio, wearing old jeans, barefoot] 

  Nicole : At the art opening. It was on a platform, high above the crowds.

  [has a very sensual way of walking] 

  Nicole : And it was just the way I imagined it. He looked at me, I looked at him.

  [picks up flower display] 

  Nicole : He was a little shy, but very cute. And I attacked him. It was almost like... deflowering him.

  Marc Demetrius : [grabs his headset, puts it on]  That bad, huh?

  Nicole : No. No, no. It wasn't bad at all. The best sex of my life. And we didn't even say a word.

  [strews flowers] 

  Nicole : I don't know his name. He doesn't know mine. My insides have been, like, tingling all day. The best part is that I might see him again.

  Marc Demetrius : Well, what do you mean?

  Nicole : What do I mean? I might see him again.

  Marc Demetrius : But that's impossible, right?

  [he scans the tall buildings through the window] 

  Marc Demetrius : I mean, the whole idea, the whole charm of it, I... I thought, that he was a total stranger. You know, two ships that bump in the middle of the night, and then passing...

  Nicole : I guess so, but, um... I cheated a little bit. I really liked him, so I left something in his pocket.

  Marc Demetrius : What, your home number?

  Nicole : A business card from one of my haunts. It was the first thing I took out of my bag. I really hope he finds it.

• Nicole : [as Marc drives]  I've decided not to report you. Not yet. We're playing your favorite little game now.

  Marc Demetrius : I thought we were already playing.

  Nicole : Nicole says "Unzip your fly."

  [she dials his number on her mobile] 

  Sara Robbins : [recording on mobile]  Hi, this is Sara, I can't come to the phone right now. If you like...

  [gets switched off] 

  Nicole : I take it you room together.
