Quotes 

• Christine Sullivan : You know all your life you think love is gonna be this flash of passion and romance; it hits you over the head like a sledgehammer, but it's not like that. It's calm and quiet and it-it builds up slowly over time.

  Judge Harry T. Stone : Kinda like plaque.

• Christine Sullivan : Oh, God... I'm going to be sick!

  Rosalind 'Roz' Russell : [pops open Dan's briefcase]  Here, use this!

  Dan Fielding : No, don't, that's my brief-

  [turns away as Christine hurls into it] 

  Dan Fielding : CASE!

  [Christine rushes away, mortified, while Roz closes the briefcase] 

  Dan Fielding : That briefcase cost me over two hundred dollars!

  Rosalind 'Roz' Russell : I can believe it. It's not leaking at all.

• Judge Harry T. Stone : So, what brings you around?

  Christine Sullivan : [Standing next to Bill]  Oh, not much. We just wanted to announce we're getting married. That's all.

  Judge Harry T. Stone : [Stunned]  Married?

  [Turns to everyone at the table] 

  Judge Harry T. Stone : Can you top that?

  Rosalind 'Roz' Russell : [Reading a tabloid aloud]  "Bigfoot reveals miracle diet plan."

  Judge Harry T. Stone : Close.
