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 : [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.

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?"
