Quotes 

• Jones : You know, I've been some places - Texas, Delaware, three schools in New Hampshire, Kansas - not everwhere so maybe I'm wrong, but I think you're probably the most beautiful woman in the world.

• Brad : It's been three years since I had sex, Jones.

  Jones : Woah.

  Brad : Did you say "woah"? Three years of celibacy deserves more than "woah". "Woah" doesn't come close.

  Jones : Try seventeen.

  Brad : What, years?

  Jones : The first twelve are pretty easy.

  Brad : What about the, uh...

  [indicates the girl upstairs] 

  Brad : [Jones shakes his head] 

  Brad : So you're a...

  [Jones nods] 

  Brad : Woah.

• Jones : My mother, she was deep into all of it - booze, pills, everything she could get her hands on. I was born 10 weeks premature. By the time the doctors discovered the bone disease, it was too late to treat properly. I've been suffering since before I was born.

• Jones : Well, you're good.

  Lisa : Really? I mean, not just compared to you?

• Lisa : Jones, will you kiss me?

  Jones : Ok.

  Lisa : Ok because you want to or ok because I asked you to?

  Jones : I want to.

  Lisa : Will you do it now please?

  Jones : Ok, I will but...

  [Lisa kisses Jones before he can finish] 

• Jones : You seem okay to me.

  Jane : I used to be better than okay.

• Jones : I got a motorcycle.

  Blanche : Well isn't that nice. Maybe I should throw myself off this roof and save myself the trouble of having to bury you.

  Jones : I don't think the fall would kill you, but you could try.

• Jones : What about you, Blanche? Are you making anyone miserable on a regular basis?

• Jones : You fucked her, didn't you?

  Steve : What?

  Jones : Lisa.

  Steve : Oh, yeah. You?

• Lisa : I have lines to learn.

  Jones : You're an actress?

  Lisa : Female lead.

• Lisa : You know what I mean?

  Jones : Yeah

  Lisa : You do?

  Jones : No

  Lisa : You don't?

  Jones : I dunno

  Lisa : [laughs]  I'm sorry but tonight I'm drunk.

• Jones : She knew I was watching her. I think she likes being looked at. I wanted to do more than look. She was so close it should have been easy. But I felt like I was missing something.

• Blanche : You were my chance. And I blew it.

  Jones : Blanche. No, you didn't blow it.

• Lisa : [gives him a portrait of herself]  It's gonna be worth something someday. You want me to autograph it?

  Jones : I'll just hold on to it.

• Jane : You are nice.

  Jones : I could fuck Lisa if nice is a problem for you.
