Quotes 

• Mel Arons : What is it with these clothes? It looks like the cast of Miami Vice crawled into your closet and died.

• Mel Arons : Don't ruin this. These girls are open-minded and convivial. Modern progressive women. Sluts. Don't get ethical, it inhibits their sexual creativity.

• Steve Giardino : You're a very shallow person, do you know that?

  Mel Arons : What, having some woman make fried bread for you is deep?

  Steve Giardino : Ah, damn it, I'm not happy. I want to get happy.

  Mel Arons : What are you making such a big deal about happiness for? Look at me. I trade all day against guys who would cut my heart out of an eighth. I drink too much, I eat rich food, I make love to women half my age. You think I'm happy?

  Mel Arons : That's the advantage of being shallow.
