Quotes
-
Amanda Brooks : You look like shit, pal.
Walter Stone : You don't look too good yourself. You all right? You're red. Got a fever or something.
Amanda Brooks : Probably too much rouge. Got to be a fucking Rembrandt to put on makeup.
-
Amanda Brooks : Jeez, did you check out that ass? Boy, how'd you like to give her a punch in the pants, huh, Walt?
Walter Stone : Oh, no, you're not gay are you?
Amanda Brooks : Pal, if I'm gay, Clint Eastwood is a transvestite.
-
Amanda Brooks : I'm Steve's sister.
Dream Girl : He never told me he had a sister.
Amanda Brooks : I'm his half-sister.
Dream Girl : He never told me he had half of a sister.
Amanda Brooks : We're looking for Steve, we don't know where he went. He said he was gonna chuck it all, like Gauguin.
Dream Girl : Who?
Walter Stone : Gauguin. He's an artist who went to Tahiti.
Dream Girl : I thought you said you didn't know where he went.
-
Amanda Brooks : Yo, Walt, checkout the headlights on the blonde. How'd you like to play "hide the salami" with that for about a week? Ugh, but not me Walt, you. What, you don't think that's a perfectly legitimate question?
Walter Stone : Coming from a guy, maybe.

Margo Brofman : Good morning.
Amanda Brooks : What's so fucking good about it?
Margo Brofman : You're in a great mood. What's the matter? Got your period?
Amanda Brooks : I should be so fucking lucky.
Margo Brofman : Yeah? What happened?
Amanda Brooks : [lights a cigar] It's a long story.
Margo Brofman : Just give me the punchline.
Amanda Brooks : [puffs] I lost my virginity.
Margo Brofman : Obviously without your consent.
Amanda Brooks : I passed out; I don't remember anything.
Margo Brofman : Who's the unlucky man?
Walter Stone : Hi, Margo.
Margo Brofman : Walter! It's not exactly Romeo and Juliet, but then I always say, to each his own.

Walter Stone : I talked to the doctor today, you know?
Amanda Brooks : Oh, yeah? What'd he say?
Walter Stone : He's worried about you. Says you got high blood pressure... and... diabetes.
Amanda Brooks : I'm a big girl, Walt. Cut to the chase.
Walter Stone : He said that if you carry the baby to full term... that there's a possibility that you might...
Amanda Brooks : Die? What about the baby, Walter?
Walter Stone : Well, see, that's the thing. He said that if you decide not to have the baby, then...
Amanda Brooks : Oh, no. I'm having the baby, Walter.
Walter Stone : Can we talk about this?
Amanda Brooks : No, we can't talk about this. You can't imagine what it's like... to have a life inside you. And it's growing, Walter. It's moving. It lives because I live. And when I die... there's a part of me that... goes on. It's a a truly amazing thing. It is an honest-to-God miracle.

Walter Stone : So how do you feel?
Amanda Brooks : How do I feel? How the fuck do you think I feel, Walter? I'm gonna have a baby. It's your fucking fault. I'd like to strangle you. That's how I feel.
Walter Stone : Look I'm sorry. I don't know if you recall, but you were very cooperative.
Amanda Brooks : I simply do not choose to accept that fact, Walter. Drunk or sober, do you think that for one cotton-picking second... Steve Brooks would ever even consider making love to another man... Iet alone his best friend?
Walter Stone : Steve Brooks? No.
Amanda Brooks : You still don't believe I'm Steve.
Walter Stone : I don't, and I'm gonna tell you why.
Amanda Brooks : Three years ago, your birthday. I sent you a little brunette. You called her Aztec.
Walter Stone : Hey! Look, I don't know how you know about that. If Steve Brooks did get pregnant, he'd have an abortion.
Amanda Brooks : I nearly did.
Walter Stone : Why'd you change your mind?
Amanda Brooks : You're not gonna believe this, but... there I was, lying on that table... and I had my feet in those stirrupy things... and all of a sudden, it just came to me in a flash... that maybe the only reason I wasn't roasting somewhere in hell was-- was because God wanted me to have this baby.
Walter Stone : That's the only reason?
Amanda Brooks : And making the Guinness Book of Records.
Walter Stone : I don't know. I guess you really are Steve.

Walter Stone : [Amanda is phoning him at work] Hello?
Amanda Brooks : Hello? Hey, Walter. How you doin', buddy?
Walter Stone : Who's this?
Amanda Brooks : Who is this? Okay, look, Walter. I'm gonna try something here. I'm a woman.
Walter Stone : Yeah?
Amanda Brooks : It's me, Walter. I'm a woman.
Walter Stone : Is this Connie?
Amanda Brooks : No, it isn't Connie. It's me. Okay. Forget it. I'm a man. I'm Amanda. I'm Steve's sister. Wait till you get a load of me.
Walter Stone : Steve doesn't have a sister. Can I talk to Steve, please?
Amanda Brooks : You are-- I mean, you can't.
Walter Stone : It's after 10:00. Steve hasn't shown up for work.
Amanda Brooks : Look, it's really complicated. Why don't you meet me for lunch and I'll explain it to you.
Walter Stone : Steve would have told me if he had a sister.
Amanda Brooks : No, He wouldn't. I'll meet you at the City Grille at 1:00.
Walter Stone : Wait, wait! How I'm gonna know it's you?
Amanda Brooks : You can't miss me, pal. I'm blonde, about 5'7". Built like a brick shithouse.

Amanda Brooks : Check out the headlights on the blonde. How'd you like to play "hide the salami" with that for about a week? But Not me. You, Walt.
[He doesn't answer]
Amanda Brooks : What? You don't think that's a perfectly legitimate question?
Walter Stone : Coming from a guy, maybe.
Amanda Brooks : You don't think women talk to women that way?
Walter Stone : Yeah, I guess so. Sometimes. Some women.
Amanda Brooks : So what's wrong with a woman talking to a man that way?
Walter Stone : I don't know. Look, I just think that when a man talks to a woman... or a woman talks to a man... it should be more romantic.
Amanda Brooks : So women aren't supposed to feel the same things that a man feels? I mean its wrong for them to talk about it? It's okay for a man to say "I'm horny. I'd like to get laid." This is not okay for a woman to say?
Walter Stone : Now you sound like Gloria Steinem.
