Quotes 

• Giovanni 'Gio' Rossi : So, did you hear? Phil Roth is in the house!

  Betty Suarez : Oh! You know who Philip Roth is? Author of 'Portnoy's Complaint', 'Goodbye, Columbus'...

  Giovanni 'Gio' Rossi : ...'American pastoral', yeah. Not everyone who makes sandwiches is a lunk.

• Betty Suarez : What?! Who's Phil Roth?

  Giovanni 'Gio' Rossi : He writes books on how to pick up chicks.

  Betty Suarez : [shrugs]  Oh, my god! Daniel said Phil Roth, but I just thought he was doing his annoying casual thing... Bobby de Niro, Marty Scorsese. I don't want to interview a guy who writes books like that.

  Giovanni 'Gio' Rossi : Hey! You get to write an article, okay? Now, go in there with an open mind. He's actually got a lot to say!

• Giovanni 'Gio' Rossi : [at a Bar]  I think I'm going to go for that blondie over there.

  Giovanni 'Gio' Rossi : League?! I'm a guy. The universe is my league!

• Henry Grubstick : Statistically speaking, two test subjects increases your chances of validating this mating theory.

  Henry Grubstick : Serious as a nova.

  Betty Suarez : Guys, no, this is my research, not a contest.

• Giovanni 'Gio' Rossi : I told that girl over there that I'm going to Iraq next week. Gotta strike now.

  Betty Suarez : Classy.
