Quotes 

• Cin : So, London. That must be an exciting place to live.

  Josh : Yeah... yeah, apart from the cold, the rain, the filth, the huge cost of everything, oh, and the English, it's a great place to live.

• Josh : That photo reminds me of... Oh, fucked if I know, something.

  Cin : That you loved her.

• Cin : To be honest, I didn't really give it a second thought. I mean, he seemed like a nice guy and everything, but you know, nothing to die for or anything.

• [internal monologues] 

  Cin : Three days... hm, it's tempting.

  Josh : Hm, it's tempting.

• Cin : I was thinking, should I ask him in? I don't know... I was feeling pretty horny.

• Cin : [internal monologue]  So that was it. I really felt like sex. I want sex. I need sex. I love sex.

• Cin : [Josh going down under the covers, Cin lifts up blankets]  What are you doing? Do I know you?

  [laughing] 

• Cin : There you are, I thought you'd snuck out.

  Josh : Well I was about to, but first I thought I'd just rifle through your drawers.

• Josh : [on the phone]  I just had sex with a total stranger.

  Cin : What, you've been out of here for 5 minutes and you've already been unfaithful?

• Cin : [on phone]  Hey come upstairs, I'm taking all my clothes off.

  Josh : I might have something to keep you warm.

  Cin : Why don't you bring it up here? I don't want to catch a chill.

• Josh : Did I say good goodbye?

  Cin : Don't think so.

  [starts undoing his trousers] 

  Cin : Not properly.

  Josh : [take off his shirts]  Okay, see you.

  [pushes Cin toward the bed, removing her robe, pushing her down, they start kissing] 

  Cin : Bye!

• Cin : [after saying 'I love you' during sex]  I didn't mean it. You're a bastard for making me say that.

  Josh : What did I do?

  [smiling] 

  Cin : I was under duress.

  [laughing] 

  Cin : It's not fair, I'm taking that back.

  Josh : No, no, you can't take it back.

• [During sex, internal monologues] 

  Josh : Three cups of self-rising flour. Four lemons...

  Cin : Yeah, keep going. Keep going. Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop. Please don't stop.

  Josh : A cup of milk. A teaspoon of baking po-o-wder.

  Cin : Yeah, don't stop. Don't stop. Please. Please wait for me.

  Josh : Six eggs. Eight ounces of butter.

  Cin : Keep going. Keep going.

  Josh : Desiccated coconut!

• [internal monologues] 

  Cin : I want my bed.

  Josh : I need to sleep.

  Cin : No more sex, god, I can't take it anymore.

  Josh : I hate sex.

  Cin : I just want to get into bed.

  Josh : I just want to go to sleep.

  [Outloud to each other] 

  Josh : What are you thinking?

  Cin : Nothing, you?

  Josh : Nothing.

• Cin : I mean, if it weren't having sex... usually I'd prefer to sleep alone.

• Cin : Men, they're like wild animals... roaming some prehistoric landscape. They strut around like they're king of the jungle, marking up their territory, staking their claim. Look at him. Not a hint of self-consciousness. Totally oblivious to the impact of his presence. You can tell he thinks he's a good root. And for some unknown reason I find that sexy.

• Cin : It gets past the point where nothing seems to matter. You can feel his breath, hear his growl. It makes you feel invincible. You're dancing away and there's this warm pleasure that begins to grow inside the pit of your stomach.

• Cin : I don't know. Passion was beginning to take over. I mean I like passion... but it scares the shit out of me at the same time.

• Josh : Excuse me, isn't this supposed to be casual?

  Cin : It is fucking casual!

• [Josh tastes tea, makes a face] 

  Cin : No good?

  Josh : Do you boil the water?

  Cin : Listen, buster, I know how to make tea, it's just like making coffee only with tea. I made you a cup the other night, you said you liked it.

  Josh : Can I ask you something? What that before or after we had sex?

  Cin : Before, you know it was before.

  Josh : Exactly.

• Josh : You think I'm getting a bit fat?

  Cin : Well how would I know, I've only known you for three days. For all I know, you could have lost fifty kilos and been a real porker a week ago.
