  Allan : It's from Casablanca; I waited my whole life to say it.

• Linda : I feel some sort of a mystical attraction for Van Gogh. Why is that?

  Allan : I'd really have to like her a lot.

• Linda : Maybe if you just leaned across the candlelight and kissed her.

  Allan : I tried, she used to say, "Christ, not here, everybody's staring."

• Allan : You were fantastic last night in bed.

  Linda : Oh, thanks.

  Allan : How do you feel now?

  Linda : I think the Pepto Bismol helped.

• Allan : Maybe you move in with me for a while. As long as we handle this in a mature way. As long as I'm mature about it, you're mature about it, Both of us are mature, we can achieve a certain maturation, that guarantees maturiosity

  Linda : You're mature, Allen, and very wise

  Allan : The key to wiseness is maturiositude.

• Linda : Allan, do you realize what a wonderful thing has happened? Allan the most beautiful thing in the world has happened right under our very own noses. We've had a wonderful experience. Doesn't that surprise you? You didn't have to do anything. You didn't have to leave any half open books lying around. You didn't have to have on the proper mood music. Why, I even saw you in your underwear with the days of the week written on them.

• Linda : Oh, I don't regret a moment of what's happened; because, what its done for me is to reaffirm my feelings for Dick.

• Linda : Why is it always so complicated?

• Allan : I like blondes. Little blondes with long hair and short skirts and boots and big chest and bright, witty and perceptive.

  Dick : Well, don't set yourself ridiculous stands, Allan.

  Linda : She must be beautiful with long hair and a big bust?

  Allan : Yes. And a good behind - something I can sink my teeth into.

• Linda : Did you read that another Oakland woman was raped?

  Allan : I was nowhere near Oakland!
