Joe Gideon : I believe in saying, "I love you." It helps you concentrate.

Joe Gideon : No, nothing I ever do is good enough. Not beautiful enough, it's not funny enough, it's not deep enough, it's not anything enough. Now, when I see a rose, that's perfect. I mean, that's perfect. I want to look up to God and say, "How the hell did you do that? And why the hell can't I do that?"

Joe Gideon : Yeah, it is. But that doesn't mean I don't mean it.

Joe Gideon : I once tried living with two girls... two girls at once. We lived together!
Menage Partner #1 : Laughed together!
Fan Dancer : Drank together!
Menage Partner #1 : Smoked together!
Fan Dancer : Slept together!
Joe Gideon : Woke up one morning... one of them was gone! On the bureau, she left a note.
Menage Partner #1 : I'm sorry. I cannot share you anymore. I want you all to myself, or not at all. Please... please try to understand!
Joe Gideon : I not only understood, I was flattered! I was flattered that she felt so strongly about me!
Angelique : How do you know the note was to you?
