" well, technically speaking, you kissed me," "For what it's worth." " i've never done that before." " wow, you never kissed a man?" "Now, that's just plain weird." "What, are you a hooker or something?" "'cause hookers don't kiss." "neither do marines." "That's the best gay porn title i ever heard:" ""marines don't kiss."" " what i'm saying is," "I've never stepped outside of my marriage before." " well, of course not. duh." "Who in their right mind would step out" "On his royal deanness?"

"That's--that's awesome, but i'm guessing" "That you feel like you're...owed one." "Like you got this "get out of jail free" card," "And you just don't know how or when to use it?" " or maybe i do." " oh, well, shucks." "Uh, i-i'd be flattered," "But i try not to involve myself" "In other people's domestic strife." " really, hank?" "I haven't known you all that long," "But that doesn't seem like part of your programming." " that's the thing." "it's a relatively new thing" "Based on a shitload of really horrible experiences." "But it's a thing nonetheless." " hmm." "And who says i'd ever cash in such a chit" "On the likes of you?" " whoa. well, uh..." "I would be the lucky one if you would." "I mean, you're a great broad, felicia." "You deserve to be happier." " mm..." " uh-oh." "[moaning]" " why can't i stop kissing you?" " oh, it's not your fault."

"Now, here's what i think we should do." "There's a lot of dried up hollywood snatch out there" "In need of watering." "Powerful older women" "Whose limp-dicked husbands have long since stopped" "Tending their gardens." "And they want someone young, dumb, full of come." "That's where you come in." "Now, i think we should send you around town," "These executive suites," "And you charm your way into the hearts, minds," "And pants of these unfuckable monsters." "Next thing you know, my phone is ringing" "For hank moody." " so you're suggesting that i dump this whole writer thing" "And reinvent myself as a hollywood man-whore?" " oh, abso-fuckin'-lutely." "[chuckles]" "And then we turn around and we sell your story as a modern day american gigolo." "What do you think?" " what are you guys doing?" "You playing footsie?"

"Oh, god, i get in a puddle just thinking about it." "Oh, runkle, now, don't be jealous." "I think we should keep emotion out" "Of this thing of ours." " good idea, sue." "I'm totally with you on that." " yeah." "what are you doing later, hank?" " uh..." " party at my place." "Why don't you stop by for a steak and a blow job?" "I'd love to see you and runkle with your swords crossed." "Collini out." " what the fuck is going on, big boy?" " just goin' with the flow." " hey, i gotta go pick up becca."

"Writing is just a-- it's a pipe dream." "You can't really make a living" "Doing something like that." "Actually, that's how you end up teaching." " ouch." " mm." "Instead, i would rather retire my mother, you know." "And if i have to use my body to do so," "Then so fucking be it." "You know, i appreciate you trying to help me unleash" "My inner hemingway, but i'm a big girl." "You know, i can take care of myself." " wow. i think you should really get back into class."

"I just want to be done with it already." "I want to sell this fucking house" "And get on with the rest of my life." " maybe you should have thought about that" "Before you left all that menstrual blood in the toilet." " would you cut me some slack?" "How many big, stinking dumps have you left" "In that very same toilet?" " uh...i'm sorry i've made you so unhappy, marcy." " doesn't matter anymore." "We just weren't meant to be." " see, that's the thing." "I think we were." "I think we were supposed to live happily ever after." "I just--i took a wrong turn somewhere." "Or, okay, several wrong turns." "I fucked it up." "I'm a big boy, marcy." "I will do whatever it takes to make you happy again." "And if that means letting you go," "That's what i will do." "Just you watch." "Ow!" " what the fuck is wrong with you?"

"and i can't find my way home ?" " hey, what's up, baby blanket?" " i can't seem to drag my ass out of bed this morning." "I don't know." "how 'bout you?" "Can't sleep?" " no. that bed's awfully big without you" "And your smoking-hot ass." " that's funny, 'cause you never seem to have" "Much of a problem getting someone to share a bed with you." " yeah, well, they ain't you, lady." " so what can i do for you?" " that's easy." "you just tell me that despite" "All the seemingly shitty things i do, i'm still a good person." " oh, my, you are having a dark night of the soul." " i'm just not liking myself very much lately," "And we're fresh out of booze." "Otherwise i'd sleeping like a drunk marmoset right now." " so what, you want me to hear your confession" "And absolve you of all your sins?" "That's kind of hard to do when i don't know" "What you're up to out there." " you want me to give you the gory deets?" " god, no." "I mean, that's the beauty of being so far away." "I don't need to listen to the gory deets anymore." "But thank you." " mm..." "You make me feel better." " it's what i do." "Listen, much as i would love to soul search with you," "I need to go." " i get it. it's time to make the doughnuts, right?" "You still love me?" " always." "That's the problem." " gospel." "Have a good day." " get some sleep, sinner." "And give that little rapscallion a kiss for me, okay?" " will do, bugaboo." "Top of the morning to you, miss robinson." " and you too, mr. moody." "And just so you know, i've been thinking about it," "And i don't think we can be friends anymore." " oh, really?" "that's too bad." " not necessarily." "I'm not wearing any underwear." " professor, would you mind terribly" "If i audit your class this morning?" "I was thinking you could probably" "Teach me a thing or two about life, love," "The pursuit of happiness." " i'm sorry i'm late, teach." "Hot date." "You know, up all night thinking about it." "Just keep on replaying it over and over and over" "In my mind."
