Jack: Entropy. Geometrically. Danny, you talk like a bad textbook. Danny: You think that because I'm quirky I don't hurt? You've got it backwards. I'm quirky because I hurt. (Ace Goodman) Kate Burroughs: I don't know. Jack: You know why? Kate Burroughs: I knew it. He only asked us so that he could tell us his theory. Go ahead, sweetheart. Tell us why we love this boat so much. Jack: Because it represents our primeval desire to control water. See? Now, think about it. All our beginnings are wet. Sloshing around in the womb. Baptism. The first life that came out of the warm soup of the ocean. You know? Danny: [no interest] Mhmmm... Kate Burroughs: Jack loves ideas. And he can do so much with them. I have seen him take one idea at a dinner party and bring the entire conversation to a complete halt. Claudia Zimmer: [Nick comes out with clam dish] I love these! I have this insatiable desire to have dominance over the clams. Jack: It so happens that Venus rose from the sea on a clam shell. Sexuality was born in wetness. Claudia Zimmer: [laughing] It's easier that way! Jack: Jeez. Danny: I love that woman. (Ace Goodman) Lisa: Not really. Most of the people here have a peculiar idea of a good time. Nick: What do you mean? Lisa: They get drunk and piss off the balconies. Nick: What about the girls? Lisa: I'm talking about the girls. Nick: You're kidding me. Lisa: You think I'm kidding you? You think it's a joke to have to walk home on a clear night with an umbrella? (Ace Goodman) Jack: I just feel really let down by you. I happen to know that you betrayed your wife dozens of times. Nick: [pauses to think] Okay, if I did, that's what I did to her. What did I do to you? Jack: You didn't tell either of us. Nick: What, every time I have an affair with a hat-check girl, I have to run and tell you? Jack: That's who you were having affairs with? Hat-check girls? Nick: No! They were all top professionals in their fields. I can't tell you all their names, but two of them were Margaret Thatcher and Indira Gandhi. Jack: When you're ready to talk intelligently, then we'll talk. Until then, forget it. (Ace Goodman) | |

Jack: [disbelief] You're kidding. Danny: How could you not know? They even slept at your place once. Jack: Where was I? Danny: You gave him the key to water your plants and feed the cats while you were away. Didn't you notice the funny expression on the cats' faces? Jack: He told you all of this? Danny: Most of it... some of it came out when he was under gas. (Ace Goodman) Jack: Why? Danny: The crumbs go down into the upholstery. One loaf of french bread and the resale value goes down five-hundred dollars. Jack: Can't I just eat the insides [of my sandwich] Jack: for a hundred? (Ace Goodman) Jack: Why not? Nick: Because she's pregnant. Jack: Pregnant? You're forty-three years old! You're gonna start having babies now? Nick: Oh, there's some real heartwarming acceptance. I have to check everything with you? As a matter of fact, I told you I wanted to start a new family. Jack: With babies? Nick: What, with airdales? (Ace Goodman) Jack: They're not even ON this trip! They walk around mooning all the time, making goo-goo eyes... my God, if one of them farts, the other thinks it's Guy Lombardo! (Ace Goodman) Kate Burroughs: [hugging Jack] Yes, Jack is thoughtful. Claudia Zimmer: Does he observe good bathroom etiquette? Kate Burroughs: Huh? Claudia Zimmer: Does he leave the seat up or does he put it down? Danny: Wait a minute! I always put the seat down! Claudia Zimmer: Yeah, after I yelled at you to do it! (Ace Goodman) Claudia Zimmer: Danny, I say what I feel. I'm Italian! Danny: [outraged] I know you're Italian! I know you're Italian! [opens the window and shouts] Danny: This woman is Italian! [faces away from window] Danny: You no longer have to announce your ethnic origin in this state. Everyone in Connecticut knows that you're Italian! (Ace Goodman) Kate Burroughs: What? Jack: You're making me angry. Kate Burroughs: You're angry? Right now? Jack: [again, calmly] I'm enraged. Kate Burroughs: How was I supposed to know? Maybe you can stamp your foot next time. Or try this. [shrieking] Kate Burroughs: WWWAAA! (Ace Goodman) Fiona: The name's Carrie. Charles: Pretty. Fiona: American. Charles: Interesting. Fiona: Slut. Charles: Really? Fiona: Used to work at Vogue. Lives in America now. Only gets out with very glamorous people. Quite out of your league. Charles: Well, that's a relief. Thanks. (Ace Goodman) Bernard: I, thought, splendid! What did you think? Tom: Splendid, I thought. (Ace Goodman) Matthew: Gareth used to prefer funerals to weddings. He said it was easier to get enthusiastic about a ceremony one had an outside chance of eventually being involved in. In order to prepare this speech, I rang a few people, to get a general picture of how Gareth was regarded by those who met him. Fat seems to be a word people most connected with him. Terribly rude also rang a lot of bells. So very fat and very rude seems to have been a stranger's viewpoint. On the other hand, some of you have been kind enough to ring me to tell me that you loved him, which I know he'd be thrilled to hear. You remember his fabulous hospitality... his strange experimental cooking. The recipe for "Duck à la Banana" fortunately goes with him to his grave. Most of all, you tell me of his enormous capacity for joy. When joyful, when joyful for highly vocal drunkenness. But joyful is how I hope you'll remember him. Not stuck in a box in a church. Pick your favorite of his waistcoats and remember him that way. The most splendid, replete, big-hearted, weak-hearted as it turned out, and jolly bugger most of us ever met. As for me, you may ask how I'll remember him, what I thought of him. Unfortunately there I run out of words. Perhaps you will forgive me if I turn from my own feelings to the words of another splendid bugger: W.H. Auden. This is actually what I want to say: "Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone. Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone. Silence the pianos and with muffled drum, Bring out the coffin... let the mourners come. Let aeroplanes circle, moaning overhead, Scribbling on the sky the message: He is Dead. Put crepe bows 'round the necks of public doves, Let traffic policemen wear black, cotton gloves. He was my North, my South, my East, my West. My working week and my Sunday rest. My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song, I thought love would last forever: I was wrong. The stars are not wanted now, put out every one. Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun. Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood, For nothing now can ever come to any good." (Ace Goodman) Scarlett: It's the B359. Charles: Fuck it! (Ace Goodman) Charles: Right. Henrietta: The thing is, Charlie, l've spoken to lots of people about you. Everybody agrees you're in real trouble, Charles. Charles: Am l? Henrietta: You see, you're turning into a kind of serial monogamist. One girlfriend after another, yet you never really let anyone near you. On the contrary... You're affectionate to them and sweet to them. Even to me, although you thought I was an idiot. Charles: I did not. Henrietta: You did. I thought U2 was a type of submarine. Charles: In a way, you were right. Their music has a naval quality. Henrietta: Be serious, Charles. Give people a chance. You don't have to think 'I must get married', but you mustn't start relationships thinking 'I mustn't get married'. Charles: Most of the time I don't think at all. I just potter along. Henrietta: Charlie! Oh, God! The way you used to look at me! I just misread it, that's all. I thought you were going to propose and you were just working out how to leave. (Ace Goodman) | |
