Quotes 

• Arlene : I think that there are two forces on Earth you never want to be fighting. One is Mother Nature.The other is love.

• Arlene : She's lovely. It's not an ideal situation but she adores my son. Now how can you be a sensible parent and not feel warmly towards someone who adores your child? That is practically anti-social.

• Arlene : Tell us about yourself.

  Arielle : Well, I am 33, married and the mother of two.

  [Arlene sits]

• Sam : Can I finish this conversation?

  Arlene : You have finished it eight times.

  Sam : In 30 years, I don't remember once ever being able to finish a sentence.

  Arlene : Well, with your subjects, you don't deserve predicates.

  Sam : Oh! What is that? A grammar insult? A syntax barb?

• Sam : [arriving at restaurant]  Your mother's standing.

  Brian : I know.

  Sam : It's The Carlyle, Arlene.

  [to Arielle] 

  Sam : You know when we first met, she only sent back entrées. Now it's chairs.

• Arlene : [with Brian sitting in the back seat of the car]  Do you remember what you said to me after the very first time we had intercourse?

  Sam : Are you hungry?

  Arlene : Before that.

  Sam : Yes, I remember.

  [they kiss]

  Sam : Half of it.

• Arlene : We're seeing The Book of Mormon.
