- Larry Paul: Do you always talk in run-on sentences?
- Ally McBeal: I'm afraid that if I stop for air, somebody else will get a word in.
- Larry Paul: Ally, men don't take hints when it comes to rejection. We're used to getting our noses bloodied. We grow up watching movies where, for the first two acts, the girl says no and in the third act, they marry. If he's not the guy, then you have to be brutal. And blunt.
- Ally McBeal: You are the biggest *ass* I have ever *met*.
- Larry: Perhaps this is where you... kiss it goodbye.
- Ally McBeal: You are the biggest ass I have ever met.
- Larry Paul: Perhaps this is where you kiss it goodbye.
- [Ally leaves the room]
- Larry Paul: What did I say?
- Larry Paul: Gee, it's like we're married. You're blaming all of society on me. No wonder you want a husband. You're already a wife.
- Ally McBeal: Maybe I will share my life with somebody, maybe not, but the truth is, when I think back of my loneliest moments, there was usually somebody sitting there next to me.
