- Nelle: "Excuse me but I’ve known John I little longer than you."

Melanie: "All right, okay, no 'kookball', no 'toad'. You got it?"

- Melanie: "People have looked at me my entire life like I'm insane. Do you have any idea what that's like?"

John: "Well, there...Oh, oh, that's an overture."
Melanie: "Yes, it was. John, I know I come with a few quirks but I have this feeling which something tells me that you share. What if we agree up front that I'll never drive?"
John: "The thing is, I would love to go out with you. Um... Let's go. I know this quiet little bar we can go..."
- Melanie: "Was I too pushy... To ask you out?"
John: "I only date pushy women."
Melanie: "Oh, why's that?"
John: "Well, I..."
Melanie: "Because you're too chicken to make the move yourself?"
John: "Uh... Yes. Exactly. You know me already."
Melanie: "Oh, I knew you the minute you walked in the door. You had me on, 'I'm Jonathan cage.' 'No, actually, it's John. Sometimes when I'm nervous I...'"
John: "All right, listen... Dancing is a quiet thing. If you're going to speak, let it be involuntary."
