Dialogue

Ben Hood: We were golfing. You know, golfing, to me, is something I'm supposed to enjoy. And I was on the goddamn golf team in college, so it's something one would assume I'd do well. I used to do well. But basically, these days, golfing for me is like hoeing... or plowing. It's like farming. And George Clair has obviously, in the mere two years since he's been with the firm, he's obviously been taking secret lessons with a golf pro. And I bet the entirety of his disposable income has been dedicated to humiliating me on the golf course. That guy talks nonstop throughout the entirety of the misery of the miserable 18 holes... Janey Carver: Ben. Ben Hood: On topics that are the supposed domain of my department. Janey Carver: Ben. Ben Hood: Yeah? Janey Carver: You're boring me. I have a husband. I don't particularly feel the need for another. Ben Hood: You have a point there. That's a very good point. We're having an affair. Right. An explicitly sexual relationship. Your needs, my needs.

Dialogue

Wendy Hood: Dear Lord, thank you for this Thanksgiving holiday. And for all the material possessions we have and enjoy. And for letting us white people kill all the Indians and steal their tribal lands. And stuff ourselves like pigs, even though children in Asia are being napalmed. Ben Hood: Jesus! Enough, alright? Paul… roll?

Dialogue

Ben Hood: [Janey hands drink to Ben] Thanks. You having one? Janey Carver: In a bit. Ben Hood: [he leans his head onto Janey] You know, I think Elena might suspect something. Maybe, it's all for the better, you know? [he starts unbuttoning his shirt] Yesterday at dinner, she - Well, she didn't say anything. Has she acted funny to you? Have you noticed anything? [he takes his shirt off] Janey Carver: Have I noticed anything? Ben Hood: Mmm. Janey Carver: I'm not married to her, Benjamin. You are. I think you've probably a better vantage point from which to observe her. Ben Hood: Yeah, but... I've been working a lot lately and - No, that's not it. I... I guess maybe we're just on the verge of... saying something. Saying something to each other. On the verge. [grabs and takes a Barney plush] NOW, TAKE THIS YOU STUPID DINOSAUR!!!!! [throws out of the window]

Dialogue

Philip Edwards: Sometimes the shepherd needs the comfort of the sheep. Elena Hood: I'm going to try hard not to understand the implications of that. Philip Edwards: [holds a Donkey plush with a hat, sunglasses, and cigarette] Besides, you’ve got the Donkey smoking out of his veins.

Dialogue

Philip Edwards: Besides, you find in books what I try to find in people. Elena Hood: That sounds vaguely like an insult.

Dialogue

Paul Hood: I've been thinking, Francis. You are one drug-addled, elitist freak. And when the revolution comes I do not want to be lined up with you and shot because you're ripe for political reeducation. You know, like in the fields. Francis Davenport: Let me enlighten you about something here. You and I exist on opposite sides of a great existential divide, that being your pathetic virginity on the one hand and my astonishing number of sexual conquests on the other. You're simply jealous.

Dialogue

Sandy Carver: Where are you going? Mikey Carver: Out. Sandy Carver: Its freezing! Mikey Carver: Yeah Sandy Carver: Then why are you going? Mikey Carver: When it's freezing...because it means the molecules aren't moving, so when you breath, there's nothing in the air, you know, you breathe into your body, the molecules have stopped, it's clean.

Dialogue

Wendy Hood: Have you ever had a nocturnal emission? Sandy Carver: Mm-hmm? Wendy Hood: It's when you wake up and you find this pool of sticky stuff... like after a sexy dream. They haven't told you about this stuff yet? On what planet are you living on? Sandy Carver: I love you. Wendy Hood: That's nice. Are you drunk? Sandy Carver: I don't know. How do I know? Wendy Hood: I don't know either. You spin around when you lie down, I think. Sandy Carver: I don't think I'm spinning.
