Quotes
-
Mark : You're losing it. A year ago you'd already be re-enacting the kitchen scene from "9 1/2 Weeks". 'Course, my own sex life's more like 8 1/2 Weeks - Fellini meets Psycho. Scary.
-
Mark : She made Forrest Gump look like a candidate for Mensa.
-
Dan : Maybe she's like Catherine Tremell in "Basic Instinct", you know? One day she's just going to plunge an ice pick into his nose.
Mark : He'd probably enjoy that. Killed by a naked blonde who doesn't wear underwear to the strains of a Jerry Goldsmith score. Come to think of it, I'd sort of dig that myself.
-
Mark : Do you wish Rhett never loved Scarlett? Rick didn't have Ilsa or Harry never loved Sally? Someone once said it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Succeed or fail, we must make the attempt, it's our nature. Now if it were up to me, as it usually is, I would order this. But its not. Because Claire is right in pointing out the enormous danger potential in any relationship with a man as intelligent but fantastically flakey as Robert. But I must point out the possibilities, the potential, for true love and happiness are equally great. Risk... risk is our business. That's what relationships are all about. That's why we're out there.

Mark : A musical Julius Ceasar is quite possibly the worst idea I've heard since New Coke.
Robert : Jesus Christ, no kidding. My girlfriend bails on me and then I find out that the man I've idolized since I was two turns out to be a raving loon! I can't believe my life.
Mark : I usually can't believe your life either. But Shatner's dementia is no reason to give up the gospel of the original series!
Robert : Ok the man that we just met is not the man who invented the Corbomite Manuever, or the man who almost died defeating the Doomsday Machine.
Mark : Let it go. Separate the art from the artist. This is L.A., nobody's ever who they appear to be. Other than John Tesh, who's probably exactly who he appears to be.
Robert : No, no no, I'm sorry. Shatner is, was and ever shall be Kirk to me. I need my hero.
Mark : What you need is a bank account.
-
Robert : I don't believe it. It's Bill.
Mark : Okay, just be cool, don't stare, you'll go blind.
Robert : And he's perusing porno. All right! I gotta go over there and talk to him, man!
Mark : A... wha... wha... no. All over the world, from as far off as the Caspian sea, people have been running up to Bill and acting like idiots. Why must you be one of them?
Robert : Because NOW it's MY turn! I mean, don't you want to go over there and talk to him and see what he's like? I mean William Shatner made us who we are today!
Mark : Do you want to insult the man? Respect his space.
Robert : I do respect his space: it's the final frontier...
Mark : Just... just be dignified. You know, don't do anything stupid.

Munchkin Beth : What is your problem tonight?
Mark : My problem? I don't have a problem. You on the other hand are an insufferable spoiled brat who can only talk about herself. I mean, the biggest joke is that you have more problems than anyone I know, yet you want to become a therapist. What are you going to do: counsel people to kill themselves? Because that's what I feel like doing after listening to you whine for an hour.
Munchkin Beth : Is that what you really feel?
Mark : Yes it is. Now if you don't mind, can we go back to your apartment and have sex, please, because I'm very tired and have a lot of work to do.

Mark : [when Rob is crushed that Bill is nothing like Captain Kirk] Let it go. Separate the art from the artist. This is L.A. Nobody's ever who they appear to be.
