Quotes 

• George : It's all becoming so bland. That's not why I came to America. It's like a complete breakdown of culture and manners.

  Charley : The young ones have no manners. The other day at the car wash, a young man looked me up and down and asked me if I was a natural blonde.

  George : What did you say?

  Charley : I looked him straight in the eye and said, "Let's just say, if I stood on my head, I would be a natural brunette with lovely breath."

• Charley : [to George]  I have you, and if you weren't such a God damned poof we could have all been happy!

• George : There's no such thing as old anymore. The other day, one of my students called me a senior citizen.

  Charley : I wouldn't mind if old didn't exist. But I'm not sure that senior is what I'm aiming for, either.

• Charley : New Years Resolution: More smoking, more drinking!

• Charley : This is so nice, lying here with you. Don't you ever miss this? What we could have been to each other. Having a real relationship and kids.

  George : I have... had Jim.

  Charley : No, I mean a real relationship. Geo, let's be honest. What you and Jim had together was wonderful, but wasn't it really just a substitute for something else?
