Jane : ...Do you miss it?
Robin : What?
Jane : Sex.
Robin : Yeah, I do... You know what's weird? You never know the last time you sleep with somebody it's the last time. You're thinking: "Oh, we got problems, we got work to do," you know, but you never think... and then you break up and a month later you look back and you go: "Oh, that was it." That Tuesday or Friday or whenever, and you wished you paid attention because it was the last time... Well.

Massarelli, Prosecuting Attorney : One last time: are - you - gay?
Jane : Yes - I - am.

Jane : She's holding you back, man. Everyone says so. She's like Yoko with bangs.

Jane : [Elaine is crying at Robin's bedside, the nurse thinks her sniffles are relative to a cold, and tells her she could aggravate her daughter's condition] It's not a goddamn cold! Don't be such a hoo-hoo.
Nurse : [apathetic] And what's a hoo-hoo?
Elaine : [kindly] It's a cunt, dear.
[nurse gasps]
Elaine : Now why don't you leave us alone?

Jane : No, we're not taking drug money on the road with us. Put it back.
Holly : Well, it's not like you can tell by looking at it.
Jane : OK, you have a point: we'll just take half, all right? And we are not taking drugs on the road with us, either. So give them back.
[Holly returns the stash]
Jane : Thank you.
Holly : You're welcome.

Robin : I had a crush on a woman once. I was ten.
Jane : That's when I had crushes on boys.
Robin : She... she was a strawberry blonde. That's what my mom called her. She was the babysitter at a hotel we stayed at right before my dad went to Vietnam. She's beautiful. Strawberry blonde.
Jane : I used to be strawberry blonde too.
Robin : It was me you loved, wasn't it?
Jane : Yeah. Still.
Robin : I loved you too.
