Quotes
-
Anna : We do everything that people who have sex do!
Larry : Do you enjoy sucking him off?
Anna : Yes!
Larry : You like his cock?
Anna : I love it!
Larry : You like him coming in your face?
Anna : Yes!
Larry : What does it taste like?
Anna : It tastes like you but sweeter!
Larry : That's the spirit. Thank you. Thank you for your honesty. Now fuck off and die, you fucked up slag.
-
Larry : You don't know the first thing about love, because you don't understand compromise.
-
Dan : I want Anna back.
Larry : She's made her choice.
Dan : I owe you an apology. I fell in love with her. My intention was not to make you suffer.
Larry : So where's the apology? Ya cunt.
Dan : I apologize. If you love her you'll let her go so she can be happy.
Larry : She doesn't want to be happy.
Dan : Everybody wants to be happy.
Larry : Depressives don't. They want to be unhappy to confirm they're depressed. If they were happy they couldn't be depressed anymore. They'd have to go out into the world and live. Which can be depressing.
-
Larry : [on a photography exhibit] What do you think?
Alice : It's a lie. It's a bunch of sad strangers photographed beautifully, and... all the glittering assholes who appreciate art say it's beautiful 'cause that's what they wanna see. But the people in the photos are sad, and alone... But the pictures make the world seem beautiful, so... the exhibition is reassuring which makes it a lie, and everyone loves a big fat lie.
Larry : I'm the big fat liar's boyfriend.
Alice : Bastard!
-
Larry : Dan, I lied to you. I did fuck Alice. Sorry for telling you. I'm just not big enough to forgive you, Buster.
-
Larry : Is he a good fuck?
Anna : Don't do this.
Larry : Just answer the question! Is he good?
Anna : Yes.
Larry : Better than me?
Anna : Different.
Larry : Better?
Anna : Gentler.
Larry : What does that mean?
Anna : You know what it means.
Larry : Tell me!
Anna : No.
Larry : I treat you like a whore?
Anna : Sometimes.
Larry : Why would that be?
-
Larry : Of course she enjoyed it. As you know, she loves a guilty fuck.
-
Larry : I want you to tell me your name. Please.
[throws down a note]
Alice : Thank you. My name is Jane.
Larry : Your real name.
[throws down another note]
Alice : Thank you. My real name is Jane.
Larry : Careful.
[throws down another note]
Alice : Thank you. Still Jane.
Larry : I've about got another 500 quid here. Why don't I just give you all this money, and you tell me what your real name is, Alice.
[throws down the rest of his money]
Alice : I promise.
[picks up some of the money]
Alice : Thank you. My real name... is plain... Jane Jones.
-
Larry : I know who you are. I love you. I love everything about you that hurts.
-
Larry : A good fight is never clean.
-
Larry : What would happen if I touched you now?
Alice : I would call security.
Larry : And what would they do?
Alice : They would ask you to leave and ask you not to come back.
Larry : And if I refused to leave?
Alice : They would remove you. Those are security cameras in the ceiling.
Larry : I think it's best I don't attempt to touch you. I'd like to touch you. Later.
-
Larry : [speaking to Anna] You'd be my whore. And in return I will pay you with your liberty.
-
Larry : But we're happy... Aren't we?
-
Larry : And on some small level, I think you owe me something for deceiving me so exquisitely.
-
Larry : He's a stringy fucker.
-
Larry : [about Alice] She has the moronic beauty of youth, but she's sly.
-
Larry : As dermatological conferences go, it was a riot.
-
Larry : Everyone needs looking after.
-
Larry : Did you tell him we call him cupid?
Anna : No, that's our joke.
Larry : I had a chat with young Alice.
Anna : Fancy her?
Larry : Of course. Not as much as you.
Anna : Why not?
Larry : You're a woman. She's a girl. She has the moronic beauty of youth, but she's sly.
Anna : She seems open to me.
Larry : Yeah, that's how she wants to seem. You forget you're dealing with a clinical observer of the human carnival.
Anna : Am I now?
Larry : Oh, yes.
Anna : Hmm. You seem more like the cat that got the cream. Stop licking yourself.
Larry : [he regards her for a long time] That's the nastiest thing you've ever said to me.
Anna : [mock dismay] That's horrible. I'm sorry.
[kisses him]
Anna : Oh, I'm so sorry.
