Dave Garver

 * You haven't got the faintest idea of what love is, we don't even know each other.

Evelyn Draper

 * [menacing Tobie with a pair of scissors] I hope Dave likes what he sees when he gets here. Because that's what he's taking to Hell with him!

Dialogue

 * Evelyn Draper: Why didn't you take my call?
 * Dave Garver: Where does it say that I gotta drop what I'm doing and answer the phone every time it rings?
 * Evelyn Draper: Do you know your nostrils flare out into little wings when you're mad? It's kinda cute.


 * Dave Garver: Hello?
 * Sgt. McCallum: Garver!
 * Dave Garver: Yeah.
 * Sgt. McCallum: Sgt McCallum. Sorry to wake you but something has come up.
 * Dave Garver: Yeah I know, she just paid me a visit with a butcher knife.
 * Sgt. McCallum: Why? Because she was released on parole pending further legal action.
 * Dave Garver: When?
 * Sgt. McCallum: A week ago.
 * Dave Garver: Well I sure like the way you broke your ass to let me know about it!
 * Sgt. McCallum: I just found out about it myself.
 * Dave Garver: Who's in charge down there anyway?
 * Sgt. McCallum: Now look you wanna help find her or would you rather just sit there and belly-ache?
 * Dave Garver: All right.
 * Sgt. McCallum: Now exactly what did she say to you?
 * Dave Garver: I told you, she said that she was well and that she was going to Hawaii.
 * Sgt. McCallum: Uh what else?
 * Dave Garver: I already told you.
 * Sgt. McCallum: Well tell me again.
 * Dave Garver: You know Sergeant, you really make lousy conversation!
 * Sgt. McCallum: You make lousy coffee!


 * Evelyn Draper: I should've known you'd never do anything to spoil it.
 * Dave Garver: To spoil what?
 * Evelyn Draper: What we have between us.
 * Dave Garver: We don't have a goddam thing between us.


 * Evelyn Draper: Don't you like me?
 * Dave Garver: You're a nice girl.
 * Evelyn Draper: But who needs nice girls?
 * Dave Garver: I'm kind of hung up on one.
 * Evelyn Draper: And you don't want to complicate your life.
 * Dave Garver: That's exactly right.
 * Evelyn Draper: Well neither do I, but that's no reason we shouldn't sleep together tonight if we feel like it.


 * Dave Garver: There's a little spot in the middle of each day about your size.
 * Tobie Williams: Well there's lots of girls about my size if you're really looking.
 * Dave Garver: I'm not, that's what I'm trying to tell you.
 * Tobie Williams: You mean you've given up girls?
 * Dave Garver: Well I haven't exactly been the monk of the month or anything like that but I have been making an effort.


 * Evelyn Draper: It was funny, I was calling you from that phone booth over there and he was telling me you'd left and I was staring at your car - isn't that funny.
 * Dave Garver: Kind of funny.


 * Dave Garver: Get lost!
 * Evelyn Draper: Yeah, get lost assholes!


 * Man: Hey! People trying to sleep here!
 * Evelyn Draper: People trying to talk here.
 * Man: How'd you like to tell that to the law!
 * Evelyn Draper: HOW'D YOU LIKE TO SCREW YOURSELF?!!
