Quotes 

  • Kirby : It's true love, my friend.

    Kevin : Love, love, you know what love is? Love is an illusion created by lawyer types like yourself to perpetuate another illusion called marriage to create the reality of divorce and then the illusionary need for divorce lawyers.

  • Jules : Don't you enjoy anything anymore... like girls?

    Kevin : I enjoy being afraid of Russia. It's a harmless fear, but it makes America feel better, Russia gets an inflated sense of national worth from our paranoia. How's that?

  • Kirby : I always thought we'd be friends forever.

    Kevin : Yeah, well forever got a lot shorter all of a sudden.

  • Kevin : Well, you're all I think about.

    Leslie : Me?

    Kevin : And I think the reason I'm not interested in other women, and why I haven't had sex in so long, is because I'm desperately, completely in love with you.

  • Kirby : You are just pissed off and bitter because you have not had sex in... how long? What is it... a year... maybe two? Refresh my memory please, Kevin. Haven't you heard of the sexual revolution?

    Kevin : Who won, huh? Nobody. Used to be sex was the only free thing, No longer. Alimony... palimony... it's all financial. Love is an illusion.

    Kirby : It's the only illusion that counts, my friend.

    Kevin : Says who?

    Kirby : Anyone who's been in love.

    Kevin : Love sucks.

    Kirby : So does your attitude.

  • Kevin : Marriage is a concept invented by people who were lucky to make it to 20 without being eaten by dinosaurs. Marriage is obsolete.

    Alec : Dinosaurs are obsolete. Marriage is still around.

  • Kevin : Never trust a woman who says she isn't angry.

  • Kirby : [Handing a blowtorch to Alec after Alec has dangled Kevin off the fire escape]  Here you go!

    Kevin : Do NOT give that man a blow torch!

  • Kirby : I understand the fold, but what's fluff?

    Kevin : Fluff's what I write for the paper.

  • Kirby : Why do they put ice in the urinals?

    Kevin : It tastes better

    Kirby : Bah Dum bum ching.

  • Kevin : You know there are more people in law school right now than there are lawyers on the entire planet? Think about that.

  • Kevin : You know Jules, there is the brink of insanity and then there is the abyss, which obviously you have fallen into!

  • Kevin : How come you never ask me if I want a date?

    Naomi : I thought you were gay!

    Kevin : Why would you think I'm gay?

    Naomi : Because I never see you around with any girls, and you always look strange.

  • Leslie Hunter : You must have been in love with someone, sometime.

    Kevin Dolenz : Yeah, once. Junior high, I played bongos in this band and I fell in love with the lead singer. She sang "We've Only Just Begun" as sweet as Karen Carpenter. So, one night, I got high on this cheap malt liquor, and I pledged my love to her. And the next day she ran off with a bass player named Ringo. So, I turned in my bongos for a battered Underwood typewriter.

  • Alec Newbary : I can't believe what I just did. I innocently go downtown to buy the nightgown and this amazingly leggy blond salesgirl offers to model it for me. So we wind up doing it standing up in the dressing room in front of a three-way mirror.

    Kevin Dolenz : So there's six of you.

  • Leslie Hunter : Sex isn't love.

    Kevin Dolenz : What does that mean?

  • Alec Newbary : Leslie has to marry me soon.

    Kevin Dolenz : Why? Are you pregnant?

  • Kevin Dolenz : I don't pay for sex.

    Naomi : Oh, no?

    Kevin Dolenz : No.

    Naomi : Oh, you think that if you get a little wife or a girlfriend that you don't pay? You pay. Then you can never be sure you're gonna get it. Now, with Naomi...

    Kevin Dolenz : Naomi?

    Naomi : Yeah. You pay and you get it. Oh, you get it *good*.

    Kevin Dolenz : Food for thought. Food for thought.

  • Kevin Dolenz : What would you say the meaning of life is?

    Naomi : You got 50 bucks? I'll show you the meaning of life.

  • Kevin Dolenz : We won't even remember this tomorrow.

    Leslie Hunter : It is tomorrow.

  • Leslie Hunter : I just wish everything could be like it used to be, all of us friends.

    Kevin Dolenz : I don't want to be friends! I didn't mean that. I mean, it was an accident.

    Leslie Hunter : I'm beginning to think there aren't any accidents.
