Oscar : I don't understand you. Why do you have to be so GODDAMNED UNCOMPROMISING?
Eva : It's called principle, Oscar. Maybe the world is in short supply, but I am NOT. See, people pay their tax dollars for MY PRINCIPLE so they can go into a restaurant and not eat chicken-fried RAT, or bite into a bacon, lettuce and tomaine sandwich. If I slack up on you then I have to cut EVERYONE a break. And pretty soon, the almonds on you salad have LEGS. If that makes me UNCOMPROMISING, then I wear it as a badge of honor cuz I'm in DAMN GOOD COMPANY! Martin Luther King was uncompromising, Nelson Mandela was uncompromising, and I'm sure your MOTHER was uncompromising, although the evidence of that is not apparent today. So... why don't you think of me as your Mom right now. And Momma says, "CLEAN IT UP!"
Eva : [after shocking Oscar] See you in 48 hours.

Eva : This is not about a book versus a football game fellas, oh no, this about men versus women. Women who aspire to culture, and men who aspire to scratch themselves. Women who bear the burdens in life and men who create those burdens. Women who uplift humanity, and men who uplift lap dances. If society left to the whims of men we'd still be in caves carving pictures with our non aposable thumbs. So today, gentlemen, is the day for civilized behavior. Today we women raise our voices against tyrrany, crudeness and playoff games. And that is it gentlemen, end of story THE FAT LADY SINGETH! Out of the room. By the way if any of that was lost upon you then Ive just proven my point again. hmm?

Eva : We went back to my place for a nice, respectable evening... And-then-we-burned-a-hole-in-the-floor!
-
Eva : You three have yet to feel my rage.
-
Eva : If I don't leave right now I'm gonna start saying all kinds of hot, nasty, dirty things.
-
Eva : [nonchalantly] If food isn't prepared right your throat could close up and you'll drown on your own vomit.
-
Eva : That's it, gentleman. End of story. The fat lady singeth!
-
Eva : So why don't you think about that the next time you are toting around a pig's ass.
-
Eva : Oh! One car breaks down, you just hop into another?
-
Eva : Just drive your meat wagon.

Michael 'Mike' : You don't get to me with your 50 DOLLAR words, Eva. Now what would you say if we DEMANDED that you leave the room?
Eva : I would say that I find your particular brand of CRACK very amusing!
