  • D'you know our high school reunion's comin' up? Ten years... D'you know how depressing that is? D'you think I don't wanna slash my fucking wrists when I think about that? Goddamn it!
  • Steven, you drive like my fucking grandma! Wait... that's actually an insult because my grandma drives better than you do!
  • [Being thrown out for throwing a tantrum in a mall.] Fucking suburbanized shit!

Dialogue

edit
Heidi Schoichet: Because every klezmer band in town is booked and I desperately need a band. But if I hire you, you have to be willing to "hora". Is that a problem?
Fangoria "Fanny" Gurkel: Oh man, at this point, I'd fuck anyone.
Heidi Schoichet: What're you apologizing to her? She's an unwed mother.
Fern Schoichet: Better an unwed mother than just plain unwed.
Fangoria "Fanny" Gurkel: I bought a gift for you.
Steven Schoichet: Oh, no.
Fangoria "Fanny" Gurkel: Actually, I lifted it from Borders. But it's perfect for your date. It's classical music.
Steven Schoichet: Oh, thanks!
Fangoria "Fanny" Gurkel: Yeah, when you get Lorena alone, put this on. Classical music makes women horny. Just trust me on this one.
Steven Schoichet: Thanks. "Best of John Philip Sousa".
Fangoria "Fanny" Gurkel: Yeah. Chicks dig it.
Fangoria "Fanny" Gurkel: You can fuck me if I'm wrong!
Steven Schoichet: No. That's okay.
Heidi Schoichet: [about Michael going in jail] Serves him right! I hope you rot in there, fucking loser!
Fern Schoichet: Heidi! That loser was almost your husband!
Heidi Schoichet: Why can't you get it into your head, he's a psychopath?
Fern Schoichet: I'm sure he is. But he's also a very successful accountant.
