• Stacy : [narrating]  Okay, when I first met Vinny, I thought, this guy is a living argument for birth control. But as I get to know him better, I realize he's just like the rest of us: a mess.

• Stacy : "Safe sex" -- who would have ever thought those two words would exist in the same sentence?

• [Nick leaves the room to fetch a condom.] 

  Stacy : [to the camera]  This is a miracle! For once it's all up to him. No tubes, no jellies, no furtive trips to the bathroom... I can just sit back and let it happen. I don't have to do anything.

  Nick : [returning]  I'm not too good with these things. Can you give me a hand putting it on?

• Vinny : Hey, need a lift?

  Stacy : Vinny! What are you doing here?

  Vinny : I was just driving around the neighborhood. Last night I did something-- Look, it's like this. It's Christmas Day, I'm sitting around my house, right, I'm all alone... so, uh, I hop in the limo... 24 hours later, I wind up in Chicago. And I say to myself, Vincent, where the hell you going? That's when it hits me... I'm coming to see you.

  Stacy : You drove all that way just to see me?

  Vinny : Hey, only 4 days and, what, 18 speeding tickets.

  Nick : Okay, that's okay. But let me tell you, you're making a big mistake. 'Cause I am going to make it.

  Stacy : Good.

  Nick : Yeah! And I won't even be dead! Think about it.

• Stacy : Yeah. Now, when you're with a guy, you're not just sleeping with him, you're sleeping with everyone they've had sex with.

  Ilene : And everyone they've had sex with.

  Ilene , Melissa : And everyone *they've* had sex with!

  Melissa : Gee, I'm a lot more experienced than I thought I was!

  [They laugh.] 

• Ilene : What do you miss most about sex?

  Stacy : Whoo... I miss falling asleep with someone's arms around me. And the feeling of, mm...

  Ilene : Orgasm? I love orgasms.

  Stacy : Mmm. I'm sick of my Mighty Intruder vibrator with the flexible shaft and the textured head.

• Stacy : This is kind of embarrassing to admit, but I remember when it was actually fun to say, "WOW, that really felt great! What's your name again?"

  Melissa : I've never had sex with someone I didn't know. For that matter, I've never said, "Wow, that felt really great."

• [About the sexy Megan.] 

  Stacy : Don't let it get to you. Just think, if you separated her individual body parts with, say, like a huge a meat cleaver, and then laid them out on a table, you wouldn't think she was such hot stuff.

• [On orgasms.] 

  Stacy : You can have one with the guy on top?

  Stacy : I hate you!

• Stacy : [reading]  "Dear Stacy, I hope you don't mind me writing to you, but the only other letter I ever wrote was to the editor of Flex magazine, and that was just to say how much I enjoyed this particular article called - "

  Vinny : "Hammer Those Gluts 'Til Your Butt's Like a Bowling Ball."

• Stacy : [narrating]  It was the early eighties, and sex was still a good way to meet new people.

• Stacy : I was celibate for so long, I started to feel like a can of kitchen cleanser: you know, sterile and gritty and abrasive. When we made love -- I don't know, I felt like a human again, a mammal, with breasts.

• [After reading the "Pretend You're Sensitive Handbook".] 

  Vinny : Stacy, how nice to see you. Do you have a few minutes? I mean, it occurred to me, I don't even know where you work.

  Stacy : Where I work?

  Vinny : Yeah, you know, your career plans, your dreams, your aspirations... I really want to hear all about them.

  Stacy : What I want? I don't even know -- ask me what anyone else wants. Give me three seconds, I'll figure out your whole entire life.

  Vinny : Would you maybe want to share something with me about your childhood, perhaps?

  Stacy : Vinny, what the hell are you talking about? I'm in a big rush. Look, I have to go talk to Melissa, because if I don't figure out something about my life soon, I'm going to crack!

  Vinny : I respect your strength, Stacy, and I think you've got a lot of potential!
