• Paul Ferris : Psst... Steve... What does, uh, what does "moon" mean in Greek?

  Steve Blair : [draws a blank]  No such word.

  Paul Ferris : We were standing there on the balcony, all I said was "moon," and she slapped a pair of lips on me like an oxygen mask.

  Steve Blair : [surprised]  Miranda?

  Paul Ferris : Yeah!

  Steve Blair : You're hysterical! She probably just brushed by you accidentally.

  Paul Ferris : I may be the all-American schnook, but I know the difference between being brushed, and vacuumed.

• Paul Ferris : No, I tell you, it was the same dream. I was sitting in the middle of the railroad tracks, and these two freight trains are coming at me from either side.

  Andy : Kid, you always been so hysterical?

  Paul Ferris : Only for the past 15 years. Before that I was gay and carefree, I was...

  Andy : [cutting him off]  Yes, yes, yes... Well, I tell you. Usually booze is the only treatment for that. Only now, I think you need a cure for the treatment.

  Andy : [continues]  I tell you what *I* do when I get bugged. I close my eyes, and I try to think of the worst thing that can happen to me. I imagine the whole thing happening. Then - snap - the whole thing is out of my system. Try it. Try it, try it!

• Paul Ferris : I just don't like aggressive women, that's all.
