"All that talk about Montana was just for him." "It had nothing to do with me." "He bought a piece of land there, already paid for it." "He's going to build a house." "What a man who's only lived in hotels his entire adult life knows about building a house is beyond me, but there it is." "Did you tell him about the cabin?" " The cabin doesn't matter now."

"Does she want to be my Shelley Duvall?" " Well, I didn't actually mean..." " Did you see "The Shining"?" " I was trying to be thematic." " He comes after her with an axe!" "Forget Shelley Duvall." "It's just in the past, when you talked about Montana, Fanny was under the impression that it was for both of you." "Fanny in Montana?" "Come on." "No, I'm serious." "She actually went out and found a cabin to rent for the two of you this summer." "I was going to take over the dance studio." "She was going to surprise you." "Well..." "I'm surprised." "I think she figured since you weren't going to be on the road so much, that you guys could finally really be together." "I know this is none of my business but I thought you should know." "Fanny's so stubborn." " I understand." " You do?" " And I appreciate the information." " Good." "Okay good." "Can I buy you a drink?" "All the proceeds go to keeping ballerinas in bunion pads."

"Now assuming we haven't consummated the relationship yet, a gentle but definitive "no" message has to be delivered in a way that doesn't make him feel like less of a man." "However, if the deed has been done already, then you have to make sure he doesn't take you to a cheap dump just because you've already given it up." " You know I'm only 12, right?" " Oh." "Yeah, so this whole talk is completely inappropriate." " Sorry." "Did you hear?" " It's fine." "No, I promised not to talk about... the person I'm not supposed to talk about, so I'm not going to talk about that... person." "( Chatting )" " I think I'm going to walk home." " Ginny."
