Quotes 

• Barbara : You told me it's been platonic for a year. And I say, once the sex goes, it all goes.

  Cliff Stern : It's true. It's true. The last time I was inside a woman was when I visited the Statue of Liberty.

• Barbara's Date : You know, I want to tie you to the bed.

  Barbara : Really?

  Barbara's Date : And rip your dress off! Have you ever been bound up, tied up and made love to?

  Barbara : Um - I'm - eh - I'm a - eh - eh - I'm a sensible gal.

  Barbara's Date : No more, you're not.

• Barbara : I'm so lonely. You don't know what its like to be by yourself all the time.

  Clifford Stern : Sure, you're lonely. I know its painful. But, promise me that you're never going to place another ad again. Because, that's just - you know, it's ridiculous!

  Barbara : My whole life is passing me by and I don't have anyone to love. I know that's so hard for you to comprehend because you're married. But, it's so lonely out there. I mean, you have a wife and you love her and that's so nice.

  Clifford Stern : Let me tell you something, things are not so good between my wife and myself. Just so you don't get any allusions. You know, we've been coming apart for the last year. You know, it's just that neither of us has the energy to do anything about it. But, it's not so great.

• Rita : I know the perfect guy for you.

  Barbara : Who?

  Rita : He's brilliant, he's attractive...

  Barbara : Well, who is it? What! There's a hitch. I'm waiting.

  Rita : There's a hitch, but it sounds worse than it is.

  Barbara : [speaks over Rita]  What is it? What is it?

  Rita : He's in prison.

  Barbara : Rita, I would say that's a drawback.

  Rita : Nothing terrible, insider treading. He made up fortune in the market.

  [Barbara grunts ah please] 

  Rita : And he'll be out soon, very soon,

  [Barbara looks towards Rita] 

  Rita : a couple of years.

  Barbara : You mean with good behavior?

  [Rita nods]
