Jules: Don't you enjoy anything anymore... like girls? Kevin: I enjoy being afraid of Russia. It's a harmless fear, but it makes America feel better, Russia gets an inflated sense of national worth from our paranoia. How's that?

Kirby: You are just pissed off and bitter because you have not had sex in... how long? What is it... a year... maybe two? Refresh my memory please, Kevin. Haven't you heard of the sexual revolution? Kevin: Who won, huh? Nobody. Used to be sex was the only free thing, No longer. Alimony... palimony... it's all financial. Love is an illusion. Kirby: It's the only illusion that counts, my friend. Kevin: Says who? Kirby: Anyone who's been in love. Kevin: Love sucks. Kirby: So does your attitude.

Wendy: Jules!... God. Jules: Listen... get the car, fuck him, and if you don't like him, break the engagement... And then you can still have sex with him.
