Quotes 

  • Gib : [encounter a padlocked trailer while attempting to get out of the rain]  It's locked! Good! This is very good! It's important that this place should have an air-tight security system... in the middle of nowhere!

    Alison : [digs through her bag]  I might have a nail file... I have a credit card. I have a credit card!

    Gib : Credit cards work on a completely different kind of lock.

    Alison : No, you don't seem to understand. I have a credit card!

    Gib : You have a credit card?

    Alison : I have a credit card!

    Gib : [relieved]  You have a credit card.

    Alison : [suddenly crestfallen]  Oh. My dad told me *specifically* I can only use it in case of an emergency.

    Gib : [sarcastically]  Well, maybe one will come up.

  • Alison Bradbury : Spontaneity has its time and place.

  • Alison : You'll never believe what I wanted to be when I was six.

    Gib : A classics professor?

  • Alison : What are you doing?

    Gib : I'm going to bed.

    Alison : Not with me you're not.

    Gib : I'm not going to bed with you, I'm going to bed in a bed you happen to be in also.

  • Alison Bradbury : [checking her calendar]  Let's see, Friday. 5:30, dinner. 6:00, Calculus. 7:00, news. 7:30, shower. 7:45, phone call. Eight o'clock?

    Gib : [sarcastic]  Gee, I don't know. That's when I rearrange my sock drawer.

  • Alison : [ranting about Gib]  And you should see the crap he eats! Cheese balls and beer for breakfast!

    Jason : [shocked]  How do you know what he eats for breakfast?

  • Alison : You didn't sleep with her?

    Gib : Still seeing Jason?

    Alison : Broke up.

    Gib : That's too bad.

    Alison : You didn't sleep with her.

    Gib : Wasn't my type.

  • Lady in Car : What are you gonna name it?

    Alison Bradbury : What?

    Lady in Car : The baby.

    Alison Bradbury : [realizing she's faking being pregnant]  Oh, the baby. Well, if it's a girl, Cynthia, and if it's a boy, Elliot.

    Lady in Car : Those are lovely names.

    Walter (Gib) Gibson : Elliot? You're gonna name the kid Elliot? No, you can't name the kid Elliot. Elliot is a fat kid with glasses who eats paste. You're not gonna name the kid Elliot. You gotta give him a real name. Give him a name. Like Nick.

    Alison Bradbury : Nick?

    Walter (Gib) Gibson : Yeah, Nick. Nick's a real name. Nick's your buddy. Nick's the kind of guy you can trust, the kind of guy you can drink a beer with, the kind of guy who doesn't mind if you puke in his car, Nick!

    [Alison looks disgusted] 

    Walter (Gib) Gibson : [to Lady in Car]  Oh, vomit. I'm sorry. Vomit.

  • Professor Taub : [commenting on students' papers]  Miss Bradbury. You, on the other hand, you express your ideas very clearly. Except that, your paper is dry, Alison. There's not enough of *you* coming through. Loosen up, Alison. Have some fun! Yes, sleep when you feel like it, not when you think you should. Eat food that is bad for you - at least once in a while. Have conversations with people whose clothes are not color coordinated.

    [class laughs] 

    Professor Taub : Make love in a hammock!

    [class hoots, hollers, and high-fives] 

    Professor Taub : Life is the ultimate experience, and you have to live it to write about it.

    [Alison raises her hand] 

    Professor Taub : Yes, Alison?

    Alison Bradbury : What did you say after "hammock?"

  • Alison : You can't go in there.

    Gib : Yes I can. This is America, you can go anywhere.
