- Graham: I remember reading somewhere that men learn to love the person that they're attracted to, and that women become more and more attracted to the person that they love.
- Graham: You're right, I've got a lot of problems... But they belong to me.
- Ann: You think they're yours, but they're not. Everybody that walks in that door becomes part of your problem. Anybody that comes in contact with you. I didn't want to be part of your problem, but I am. I'm leaving my husband, and maybe I would have anyway, but the fact is, is, I'm doing it now, and part of it's because of you. You've had an effect on my life.
- Graham: This isn't supposed to happen. I've spent nine years structuring my life so this didn't happen.
- Ann: So let me see, you said, um, you said that I should never take advice from someone that I haven't had sex with, right... right?
- Graham: Basically.
- Ann: Right. And, uh, *we* haven't had sex...
- [giggle]
- Ann: right?
- Graham: So...
- Ann: So, I, I, I guess from your own advice, I shouldn't take your advice.
- Graham: I wouldn't.
- John Mullany: I'm sorry?
- Graham: No, it's just, I, you know, I just think - right now I have one key and everything I own is in the car, and I just... I like that, you know? I mean, I just, if I get an apartment, that two keys, if I... get a job, you know, I might have to open or close, that's more keys, you know, buy some stuff, I'm afraid it's gonna get ripped off, or something, and I get more keys, and I just, I, you know, I just like having the one key, it's clean.
- Ann: You're not gonna worry in losing them, I always lose my keys, I hate that.
- Ann: My life is shit. It's just shit. Nothing's what I thought it was. John's a bastard. Let's make a videotape.
- Graham: No, I... ahem... I don't think that's a good idea.
- Ann: Why not?
- Graham: Because I don't think it's a choice that you'd make in a normal frame of mind.
- Ann: And what would you know about a normal frame of mind?
- Graham: That's a good question.
- Cynthia: [asked whether or not her first sight of a man's organ lived up to her expectations] Mm. No. Not really. I...
- [leans forward to put her drink on the floor]
- Cynthia: I didn't... I sort of... I didn't think it would have, uhm, veins or ridges or anything. I just thought it would be smooth like a test tube. It's weird thinking about it now. The organ itself seemed like a - a separate thing, uhm, a separate entity to me. I mean, when he finally pulled it out, and I could look at it and touch it, I completely forgot that there was a guy attached to it. I remember literally being startled when the guy spoke to me.
- Graham: What did he say?
- Cynthia: He said my hand felt good.
- Graham: Then what happened?
- Cynthia: And then I started moving my hand - and then he stopped talkin'.
- Ann: I want to know why you are the way you are!
- Graham: And I'm telling you it's not any one thing that I can point to and say "That's why!" It doesn't work that way with people who have problems, Ann, it's not that neat, it's not hat tidy! It's not a series of little boxes that you can line up and count. Things just don't happen that way.
- Cynthia: If Ann got freaked out by these, there must be something sexual: are these tapes of you having sex with these girls?
- Graham: No, not exactly.
- Cynthia: Well, either you are or your aren't; which is it?
- Graham: Why don't you let me tape you?
- Cynthia: Doing what?
- Graham: Talking.
- Cynthia: About what?
- Graham: About sex... your sexual history, sexual preferences.
- Cynthia: What makes you think I'd discuss that with you?
- Graham: Nothing.
- Cynthia: Hmm. And you just want to ask me questions?
- Graham: I just want to ask you questions.
- Cynthia: That's all.
- Graham: That's all.
- Cynthia: Is this how you get off or something? Taping women talking about their sexual experiences?
- Graham: Yes.
- [first lines]
- Ann: Garbage. All I've been thinking about all week is garbage. I mean, I just can't stop thinking about it.
- Ann: Anyway, being happy isn't all that great. I mean, the last time I was really happy... I got so fat. I must have put on 25 pounds. I thought John was gonna have a stroke.
- John Mullany: By definition you're lying to Ann too.
- Cynthia: Yeah, right. But, I didn't take a vow in front of God and everyone to be faithful to Ann.
- John Mullany: Well, are we gonna do it or not?
- Cynthia: [entering Graham's apartment uninvited and unannounced] I'm Cynthia Bishop
- Graham: [looking confused] Who?
- Cynthia: [interrupting] I'm Ann Mullaney's sister
- Graham: The extrovert
- Cynthia: She musta been in a good mood when she said that; she usually calls me 'loud.'
- Graham: She called you that too!
- Ann: Did he touch you?
- Cynthia: No.
- Ann: Did you touch him?
- Cynthia: No.
- Ann: Did anybody touch anybody?
- Cynthia: Well... yes.
- Ann: Don't tell me... don't tell me... don't tell me. You didn't!
- Cynthia: I did.
- Ann: You didn't!
- Cynthia: I did.
- Ann: You didn't!
- Cynthia: I did!
- Ann: God, Cynthia! You're in trouble.
- Cynthia: Listen to you. You sound like Mama.
- Ann: So, all these are... are interviews, huh?
- Graham: Uh, yes.
- Ann: Can we watch one?
- Graham: No, I'd - uh, no.
- Ann: Why not?
- Graham: Well, I... promised each of the subjects that no one would see the videotapes except for me.
- Ann: What are the interviews about?
- Graham: The interviews are about sex.
- Ann: Sex? What about sex?
- Graham: Everything about sex.
- Ann: Like what?
- Graham: What they've done. What they do. What they want to do; but, are afraid to ask for. What they wouldn't do even if asked.
- [having just seen Ann's videotape]
- John Mullany: I wasn't going to say anything, 'cause I thought you'd be devastated. But looking at you now.
- [snicker]
- John Mullany: Yeah, I fucked Elizabeth. Before your problem. Hell, while you two were going out. She was nothing special. She was good in bed.
- [beat]
- John Mullany: She sure could keep a secret. That's about all I can say about her.
- [after John leaves, Graham goes inside and destroys all the videotapes]
- Cynthia: I'd trust him before I'd trust you.
- John Mullany: God, that hurts if you say that to me.
- Cynthia: Come on, John! You're fucking your wife's sister. You're a liar; but, at least I know you're a liar.
- Ann: I think that um... I think that sex is overrated. I think that people place far too much importance on it, and I think that stuff about women wantin' it just as bad as men is crap. I mean I think that women want it, I just don't think that they want it for the same reason that men think they do.
- John Mullany: [after a videotape interview with Graham, Cynthia is extremely horny and calls John]
- [on the phone]
- John Mullany: I got a client waiting. I've already rescheduled him once. I'll have to do some pretty heavy duty juggling.
- Cynthia: Then get those balls in the air and get your butt over here!
- [hangs up, John juggles]
- John Mullany: [after some wild, passionate sex] You're on fire today.
- Cynthia: Yes. You can go now.
- Cynthia: I was eight years old, and, um, Michael Green, who was also eight, asked if he could watch me take a pee... And I said he could if I could watch him take one, too. So we went to the woods behind my house. And I got this feeling he was chickenin' out cos he kept sayin' "Ladies first!" So I pulled down my little panties and urinated, and he ran away before I even finished.
- Graham: Was it a topic of conversation between you after that?
- Cynthia: No! He kind of avoided me for the rest of the summer, and then his family moved away... To Cleveland, actually.
- Graham: What a shame. When did you finally see a penis?
- Cynthia: When I was 14.
- Graham: So, what'd you think? Was it what you expected it to be?
- Cynthia: No. Not really. I - I didn't - I sort of pictured it - um - I didn't think it would have - veins or ridges or anything. I just thought it would be smooth like a test-tube.
- Graham: I'm impotent.
- Ann: You're what?
- Graham: Impotent.
- Ann: You are?
- Graham: Yeah, well, I can't - I can't get an erection - in the presence of another person. So, for all practical purposes, I'm impotent.
- Ann: Does that bother you?
- Graham: No.
- Ann: Does it make you feel - self-conscious?
- Graham: Um, not usually. No, yeah. Yeah, I'm self-conscious. Um, I'm not in the same way you are.
- Ann: Me? Me, you think I'm self-conscious?
- Graham: Well, I've been watching you. You know, I've been watching you. I've watched you eat, you know, I've watched you speak, I've watched you move, and I - I see somebody who is extremely aware of people looking at.
- John Mullany: Isn't therapy helping at all?
- Ann: Oh, John, I don't know. I just feel so stupid sitting there talking about my little problems when I know those poor children are starving.
- John Mullany: Well, quitting your therapy's not gonna - not gonna feed the children in Ethiopia.
- John Mullany: Maybe I don't want to leave. Maybe I want to talk.
- Cynthia: John, we don't have *anything* to talk about.
- John Mullany: Yeah, you're right.
- John Mullany: Did you have to masturbate in front of him?
- Cynthia: I felt like it! God damn, you and Ann make such a big deal out of it.
- John Mullany: You told her about this?
- Cynthia: Oh, yeah. She is my sister. I do tell her almost everything.
- Cynthia: Ann, I don't understand why this freaks you out so much. You didn't do it, I did. And if it doesn't bother me, why should it bother you?
- Cynthia: You know, I'd like to do it at your house sometime. I must admit, the idea of doing it in my sister's bed gives me a perverse thrill.
- John Mullany: Ann, answer me. Answer me, god dammit. Did he?
- Ann: Yes.
- [Prepares to slap Ann but backs off]
- John Mullany: That backstabbing son of a bitch! Oh, Mr. Honesty, huh!
- Ann: You don't believe in therapy?
- Graham: No, I - I, you know, I - I believe in it for some people. I - I don't know, it was silly for me. I was confused going in. So, I just - I formed my own theory that - you should never take advice from someone that doesn't know you intimately.
- Ann: Oh, but, I'm - I know my therapist intimately.
- Graham: Oh, you've had sex with your therapist.
- Ann: No! No. No.
- Graham: Oh, I'm sorry. That's what I meant.
- John Mullany: [naked in bed] I gotta go - I gotta go to the office.
- Cynthia: I only get one today? Oh, gee, how exciting.
- John Mullany: I already skipped one meeting, I gotta go get back.
- Cynthia: Look, John, if you want to leave, leave. My life doesn't revolve around these little get togethers. I mean, don't flatter yourself.
- John Mullany: [on the phone] Cyndy, John. Will you be at my house in exactly one hour?
- Cynthia: You are *scum*. I'll be there.
- Graham: What is the most - unusual location you've ever masturbated in?
- Girl on Tape: Well, um, one time I was flying from Los Angeles to, um, New York. And I was, you know, it was a really crowded flight and I was - I was sitting in the middle, you know, I didn't get a window, I didn't get an aisle. It was really funny and I was - I was just - I was bored. And my magazines were just boring and I think I had like a woman's magazine. There were - they touch on a lot of sexual issues and stuff like that. I was just thinking to myself, God, that's what I need. I need a little - something to take my mind off this trip. So, I was just, you know, just thinking away and then I just - I just did it on the plane. Just between these two people. I - nobody knew.
- Graham: How were you able to not betray what was going on, to the people around you?
- Girl on Tape: Well, you know, I have really strong muscles.
