Quotes 

  • Martin : Teaching's a waste of time, I'm writing a novel.

    Theresa : Isn't everybody.

    Martin : Getting divorced too.

    Theresa : Isn't everybody.

  • Martin : Forgive me not, But please, oh please, forget me not

    Theresa : By parted lovers it is writ, Oh darling, thou art still a shit.

  • Martin : For your next assignment: describe an irrepressible temptation and what you did about it.

  • Martin : Poor little...

    Theresa : No. No, I hate people being sorry.

    Martin : I was only trying to comfort you.

    Theresa : I would rather be seduced than comforted.

  • Martin : [Teresa starts to unzip the front of her dress]  Despite the sexual revolution, not all married men are swingers.

    [Martin zips up her dress] 

    Martin : Sex between teacher and student is improper...

    [Martin slowly unzips her dress] 

    Martin : ... immoral, illegal, and unbelievably tempting.

  • [first lines] 

    Martin : Next June you're supposed to graduate in college, *not* high school. You're supposed to write an essay about personal conflict. Obviously, most of you never hoped to write anything more literate than a personal check. This paper - is an exception. At least it's legible. May I?

    [Teresa nods yes] 

    Martin : "The last time I went to confession I was 15. The booth was dark and hot. Of the seven deadly sins, I was guilty of three. Envy and lust were my sister's fault. I envied her beauty and lusted for her boyfriends. I was afraid to confess and afraid not to. I felt no contrition, not even shame. I still felt the same lust. Was it in my mind - or my body?"

  • Theresa : Isn't it obvious?

    Martin : Nothing about you is obvious. Until this morning I didn't know that you were Catholic or that you had a sister or that you were a dragon lady filled with envy and lust.

  • Theresa : Why did you stop? Did you... Is it over?

    Martin : I'll be late for class.

    Theresa : It was just getting so - nice.

    Martin : Next time, fireworks. I was just a little premature.

    Theresa : Was it me? Was it my fault? Did I do something wrong?

  • Martin : You are now a fallen woman.

    Theresa : Thank God.

  • Martin : How many lovers have...

    Theresa : Does it matter?

    Martin : Right.

  • Theresa : I wonder. Why is it after we make love we never talk or touch or anything?

    [pause] 

    Theresa : Now you're angry.

    Martin : I am not angry.

    Theresa : Disappointed?

    Martin : I'm not disappointed. I just can't stand a woman's company right after I've fucked her.

  • Martin : Nothing! Nothing. Nothing ever happened between us. And if it does again, it *still* never happened! You understand? I will not be compromised. Not here on campus, not in my home, not at work.

  • Theresa : What happened? What did I do?

    Martin : Nothing.

    Theresa : Is my breath bad? Do I use the wrong toothpaste?

    Martin : Stop it.

    Theresa : Is my sex too straight? Tell me, which one.

    Martin : Nothing! It's over. That's all. We had a long, fine thing together. Now it's time we moved on. Both of us.
