Joan

  • I said you look like a man in need of a coke.
  • [on the phone] The lad doesn't say much, and when he does, he finds just the right words to crush my soul. Of course I'm crazy about him.
  • You should write these kiss-offs down. How to crush a woman's soul in ten words or less. That was ten, wasn't it? [counting] You're-terrific-Sensational-really-but-I'm-not-right-for-you. Yep. Ten.

Hugh

  • I should be alone. Alone in hell. That's where I am.
