Rose Morgan When my date takes me home and kisses me good night, if I don't hear the philharmonic in my head, I dump him. What, what? Yes, I have breasts. They cannot, however, be the subject of one of your papers. It's not a date. We're just agreeing to eat at the same table. By the way, would telling you now that I want sex tonight be enough of a warning? Let's face it. They're not standing in line for me. To tell you the truth, I think your theories about relationships are total bullshit. I believe in love and lust and sex and romance. I don’t want everything to add up to some perfect equation. I want mess and chaos. I want someone to go crazy out of his mind for me. I want to feel passion and heat and sweat and madness. I want Valentines and Cupids and all the rest of that crap. I want it all. I love it if someone knew me. Really knew me. What I like, what I'm afraid of. What kind of toothpaste I use. I think that will be wonderful. Gregory Larkin I want to be upfront with you. I am not interested in sex. I don't care if you're pretty, I love you anyway! The mathematical world is completely rational, uncomplicated by sex. Claire Morgan You are the mother of the bride, not the opening act. Now you spend an extra hour in front of the mirror every morning and every night. And now you'll be the one to walk into a room and scan it for who looks better than you and who doesn't. And as the years go by, the numbers change. One day you'll walk into a room and you're the last woman any man notices. Mother, the only thing you ever taught me about the Sabbath is that Bergdorf's wouldn't be as crowded. Dialogue Rose: Why don't you get the coffee? Hannah: I've buried a husband, I've raised two daughters. I've made my coffee. Rose: Look at me, I'm a grown woman in a prom dress. Claire: Oh, please. You look adorable. Rose: Adorable? I look like an over-the-hill Barbie Doll. It doesn't fit right, it's too tight. Claire: Too many Sno Balls. Rose: Why didn't you pick something looser and in my color? Claire: Because Maids of Honor don't wear black. Claire: Your hair looks good, the curls work. Why don't you get a perm? Rose: I tried that once, I looked like Shirley Temple on crack. Claire: Now you listen to me! Rose: Take it easy, Claire! Claire: Now, I want you to get up there and remember that this is MY day... and if you don't behave yourself, I'm gonna have your birth certificate blown up as a Christmas card! Hannah: I should never have encouraged you to speak.
