3
Lesly: I can't talk that way about your brother. Jackie-O: "Pretend he is not my brother, I do".
4
Jackie-O: I watch soap operas. I bake brownies. Normalcy is coursing through my veins.
5
Jackie-O: Were you poor? Did you eat chicken pot pie?
6
Jackie-O: You be him, and I'll be her.
7
Mrs. Pascal: Oh my God, I sounded just like a mother! Didn't I sound just like a mother? Marty: You are a mother. Mrs. Pascal: I know, but I still can't believe it. I look at you people and wonder, how did you ever fit in my womb?
8
Lesly: This is how you raised them? Mrs. Pascal: You raise cattle. Children just happen.
9
Lesly: You were spying on us? Mrs. Pascal: A mother doesn't spy. A mother pays attention.
10
Jackie-O: We all have our secrets.
11
Lesly: [about Marty's ex-girlfriend] Is she still here, in Washington? Jackie-O: Very much so. I wonder... Lesly: What? Jackie-O: No, it's none of my business. Lesly: What? Jackie-O: Well, if he plans to get together with her while he's home. Lesly: Why didn't he marry her? Jackie-O: He couldn't. Lesly: Why not? Jackie-O: It was a family thing. Lesly: Families objected? Jackie-O: Something like that. Lesly: He never told me. Jackie-O: Men and their secrets. Lesly: Not all men have secrets. Jackie-O: We all have our secrets.
12
Lesly: So what if I slept with his brother? He slept with his sister!
13
Anthony: Would you like a glass of Liebfraumilch? Lesly: No thank you. I'll just have a glass of wine. Marty: That's the name of the wine. Lesly: Oh! [laughs] Lesly: I don't speak french. Jackie-O: Who does? Anthony: You do. Jackie-O: Oh, that's right, I do. [smiles] Lesly: So what does that name mean? Jackie-O: In french? Lesly: [nods] Jackie-O: I think it means something German. Marty: It means, "loving mother's milk." Lesly: You speak french? Marty: No. German.
14
Marty: Leslie, this is Jackie-O. Lesly: Hi! Marty: My Mother. Anthony. Meet Leslie. Leslie and I are engaged! Jackie-O: [screams hysterically, then laughs hysterically] Jackie-O: [still laughing] I have to find my hairbrush. Lesly: Oh, I have a comb. Jackie-O: [squints angrily, then runs away]
15
Jackie-O: It's okay, Anthony. I understand. Anthony: Understand what? Jackie-O: Just because Marty's attracted to girls doesn't mean you have to be. Anthony: I'm attracted to girls! Jackie-O: Really? Are you sure? Anthony: Yes! Jackie-O: Hmm...
16
Anthony: [to Jackie] I hear you crying at night alone in your room. Anthony: [to Marty] I hear her crying at night alone in her room. Marty: [to Jackie] You cry at night alone in your room? Anthony: Hey, don't make fun of her! I won't let you make fun of her. Marty: I wasn't going to make fun of her. I was going to ask her what she cries about. Jackie-O: [turns away] What do you think? You want somebody for a very long time. And then you have them. And they love you. And they make love to you. But it's not enough. This is the truth about sex. Anthony: Is that why Peter was lousy in bed? Jackie-O: I'm not talking about Peter, Anthony. Jackie-O: [turns towards them, crying] Jesus, I'm talking about Marty.
17
Jackie-O: Marty and I tell each other everything. Lesly: Everything? Jackie-O: We're twins. Lesly: Did he tell you about his other girlfriends? Jackie-O: Did he tell *you* about his other girlfriends? Lesly: There was one, he said. Jackie-O: [eyes open wide] Did he tell you about her? Lesly: No, what was she like? Jackie-O: Who? Lesly: The girl. Jackie-O: She wasn't a girl. She was a woman. Lesly: She was *older* than Marty. Jackie-O: No, they were almost exactly the same age. Talk about glamorous. She was glamorous. Lesly: I thought so.
18
Jackie-O: We don't have any pancakes here.
19
Marty: Are you being wise? Jackie-O: One day I woke up wise. Marty: One day I woke up stupid. Jackie-O: What'd you do? Marty: I went back to bed. Jackie-O: That was wise.
20
Jackie-O: Goo is what tape is all about. Goo is what makes it tape. Without goo, it would just be paper.
21
Jackie-O: Well, there's something I've been meaning to ask you. There's this thing I've heard, and if I thought for one second it was true I'd probably kill myself. Does your fiancee work - in a doughnut shop?
22
Jackie-O: I worked too hard to get sane for you to leave!
23
Mrs. Pascal: Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to baste the turkey and hide the kitchen knives.
24
Jackie-O: Pennsylvania's just this state that's in your way when you want to get somewhere else.
25
Jackie-O: Love is for tiny people with tiny lives.
26
Jackie-O: What about what *we* have? Marty: *Had* Jackie-O: I don't recognize the past tense.
27
Jackie-O: Sorry about that, Marty, I didn't mean to maim you. I only meant to kill you. Marty: These things happen.
28
Mrs. Pascal: I really have no idea who my children belong to.
29
Jackie-O: No, Peter and I have nothing in common. You and I, Marty, have a lot in common; parents, dna, bone structure.
30
Anthony: I always carry crazy glue.
31
Jackie-O: They've switched me - I used to be green, now I'm brown. I wanted a pill to match my eyes. Color me beautiful!
32
Anthony: Nobody *buys* matches. People *find* matches.
33
Mrs. Pascal: There is no television and no food. What else is there to stay up for?
34
Anthony: What did it look like? Jackie-O: It looked like a hairbrush, like a brush you brush your hair with. Mrs. Pascal: Was it pink? Jackie-O: Yes, it was pink, goddamn it! It was pink! It was pink and now is gone!
35
Mrs. Pascal: What's that gun doing there? Jackie-O: It's not a gun. It's a camera. Mrs. Pascal: It's a gun. Jackie-O: It's a camera that looks like a gun. Marty: Relax, Mama, it isn't loaded. Mrs. Pascal: How do you know? Marty: I checked. Mrs. Pascal: What's it doing there? Jackie-O: Being gunlike, gunesque, gunonic. Mrs. Pascal: Where did it come from? Jackie-O: God?
36
Jackie-O: Guess where I am? I'm in a box and I can't get out. Marty: No. I'm in a box and I can't get out. Jackie-O: Well, I'm sorry that wasn't a very good mime, Marty, I didn't see that at all.
37
Lesly: I don't think you're insane. Jackie-O: You don't? Lesly: No. Jackie-O: You don't think I'm an eensie weensie bit insane? Lesly: I don't think you're insane. I think you're just spoiled. Jackie-O: [exasperated] Oh please, if everyone around here is going to start telling the truth, I'm going to bed.
