Quotes 

• Edward Strong : I used to love that pool.

  Robert Strong : Yeah, me too.

  Edward Strong : They used to dump a ton of chlorine in because we all pissed in it. Christ, my eyes used to sting. I never knew whether they were stinging from the chlorine or the piss.

  Robert Strong : You're big on the nostalgia today, huh?

• Robert Strong : [as the two women fight it out in the swimming pool]  You must be some kinda man to have two women fighting over you.

• Robert Strong : I don't understand how you can get involved in this.

  Edward Strong : Money. Can you understand that?

  Robert Strong : No.

  Joanna Strong : I'm going to finish packing.

  [rises from couch, leaves to avoid this upcoming argument] 

  Edward Strong : That's goddamn obvious!

  Robert Strong : Why is it obvious?

  Edward Strong : Because people who understand about money don't go around throwing $300 000 to a school of trout!

  Robert Strong : I knew what I was doing.

  Edward Strong : Did you now? Did you understand that you were getting me set up to have my head blown off?

  Robert Strong : No.

  Edward Strong : So then, what did you understand? You're turning my stomach. You don't have the faintest notion about what money's about.

  Robert Strong : I don't wanna talk about money.

  Edward Strong : How about sex?

  [Deborah looks up uncomfortably] 

  Edward Strong : Sex is easier, right? We could talk about sex all night, you and me. Not money though. Money makes you blush. You have more shame over a dollar bill than you do about your own penis. The real price of your blue jeans and your Simon & Garfunkel records are your father's balls. And the real price of your noble little fling to the mountains of Quebec... is gonna be my life.

  Robert Strong : I know all that. The point of all this is that you made a mess of your life.

  Edward Strong : No, baby. You made a mess of my life.
