  • I'm thinking thin.
  • Harold, I'm gonna be on television.
  • [on her pills] Purple in the morning, blue in the afternoon, orange in the evening. [to her refrigerator] There's my three meals, Mr. Smartypants. And green at night. Just like that, one, two, three, four.
  • And you should see my Harry on television. We're giving the prizes away. I just wanted to be on the show!
  • In the end it's all nice.
  • I'm somebody now, Harry. Everybody likes me. Soon, millions of people will see me and they'll all like me. I'll tell them about you, and your father, how good he was to us. Remember? It's a reason to get up in the morning. It's a reason to lose weight, to fit in the red dress. It's a reason to smile. It makes tomorrow all right. What have I got Harry, hm? Why should I even make the bed, or wash the dishes? I do them, but why should I? I'm alone. Your father's gone, you're gone. I got no one to care for. What have I got, Harry? I'm lonely. I'm old. Now when I get the sun, I smile.
  • I'm walkin' across the stage!!

Harry Goldfarb

[edit]
  • Somebody like you can really make things all right for me.
  • Ma. You on uppers?
  • [to Marion] You are beautiful. You're the most beautiful girl in the world. You're my dream.
  • Yeah, I'll come today. You just wait for me, alright? [pause] Marion...I'm really sorry, Marion.

Marion Silver

  • I love you, Harry. You make me feel like a person.
  • [in a what-if sequence, where she stabs her therapist with a fork, yelling at the top of her lungs] You smug fuck!
  • You promised me that everything was going to be okay, remember? I fucked that sleaze-bag for you, then I put myself through fucking hell for you?

Tappy Tibbons

[edit]
  • We got a winner.
  • [Chanting] Be excited, be, be excited.
  • [Rule] number three. Whoa, number three! This... drives... most... people... crazy.
  • Juice.
  • Join us in creating excellence!
  • Three things is all I did to change my life. Three things.

Big Tim

  • I know it's pretty baby, but I didn't take it out for air.

Uncle Hank

  • Ass to ass! Ass to ass!
