• Harry Block : You know, I cannot understand why the most sophisticated of women can't tell the difference between a meaningless, hot, passionate sexual affair and a nice, solid, tranquil, routine marriage.

  Joan : [breaking down]  Tell me, Harry, just tell me something. Was she the only one, or were there others?

  Harry Block : No, Amy Pollock was the only one, may God strike me dead if I am lying.

  Joan : You're an atheist, Harry!

  Harry Block : Wha-hey, we're alone in the universe, you're going to blame that on me, too?

  Joan : [angrily tears papers from typewriter]  Stop your tap-dancing...

• Joan : So now you're blaming me because I don't go out with you enough, to meet strangers to FUCK!

  [she returns] 

  Joan : Continue, Mr. Farber.

  Mr. Farber : I've been - I've been losing sleep at night. I can't shut my eyes at night. I - I think I should quit my job. But I can't bring myself to do it. Maybe because my brother-in-law treats me kindly. But - but working for him is taking its toll on me emotionally.

  Joan : Could you excuse me, Mr. Farber?

  [gets up and leaves the room] 

  Mr. Farber : What?

  Joan : [from offscreen]  You fuck-dumb fuck! I can't believe you fucking did this! You fucking asshole. You fucked my patient? Harry, you don't fuck somebody's patient. Fuck you!

  Joan : Continue, Mr. Farber.
