Dialogue

 * Rose: Oh, that's a lovely dress you wearing.
 * Danny: Isn't it?
 * Theresa: Oh, thank you!
 * Rose: Even though it is a little big on top.
 * Danny: Ma!
 * Rose: Well, it is, you said so yourself.
 * Danny: Ma!
 * Theresa: No, no that's a problem I have, I'm not really that endowed on top.
 * Danny: No, no, no, no, no.
 * Rose: You're built like a thirteen year old boy.


 * Rose: I had a Polack friend once. She was incredibly stupid...
 * Danny: Don't do this, Ma.
 * Rose: ...Julie Kapowski. She was the stupidest woman that I ever knew. She believed that black cows... [laughs] ...black cows squirted chocolate milk!


 * Danny: [Danny has just scored a date with Theresa and runs into some funeral attendees] Yeah! Oh... sorry... but I just got lucky in there with a girl. [funeral attendees look shocked] Not in that way... she does everybody in there... not in that way. But she probably did that guy there... I gotta go.


 * Nick Acropolis: Rose! Rose, I am trying again. Will you please accept these flowers?
 * Rose: I don't want them. And I don't date Greeks.
 * Nick Acropolis: You know, you and I could make each other so happy. Greek men are great lovers.
 * Rose: And Greek men never bathe.
 * Nick Acropolis: I bathe twice a day! Three times! When I do my sit-ups. Feel that stomach. Hard like an eighteen-year-old's. Come on, feel it!
 * Rose: I'm not feeling anything of yours.


 * Doyle: If I'd gotten married, I wouldn't be where I am now.
 * Spats: In a tavern?
 * Doyle: Free! Living like a king!
 * Spats: You live at the Y.


 * Danny: I'll pick you up at seven. Where do you live?
 * Theresa: Here.
 * Danny: With the stiffs?
 * Theresa: Um, my father and I have an apartment upstairs.
 * Danny: Oh! Yeah, sure! That's uh... convenient.
