  Georgia : You're lying!

  Jimmy : Alright he looked gorgeous. Who cares? the man can't write his name. I've got to go.

  Georgia : Was he alone?

  Jimmy : He was at a big table I don't know who was with who.

  Georgia : she was that pretty, huh?

  Jimmy : What am I, a police reporter? She was a female Caucasian that's the best I can do. I've got to pick up that script, I'll call you later.

  Georgia : I love you. Why don't we smarten up and marry each other?

  Jimmy : Because you're an alcoholic and I'm gay. We'd have trouble getting our kids into a good school.

• Jimmy : O, God! I want to be a star so bad! I don't mean a little star, I want to be a big star! With three agents, and a business manager, and a press agent. And then I would fire all of them and I would hire new ones because I am such a big star! And I would make everyone pay for the 22 years I have poured into this business. I wouldn't do benefits, I wouldn't give money to charity, I would become one of the great shit heels of all time! Isn't that a wonderful dream, Georgia?

• Polly : Who redid my room?

  Jimmy : She hates it, I can tell.

  Polly : It's a little Brady Bunch, but I can work with it.

  Jimmy : The room is wonderful! Get rid of the kid!
