Quotes from The Mystery Dance
Judy: "Maybe I should just quit dating altogether, you know, because now I've become one of those women."
Lily: "What women?"
Judy: "I'm this close to letting mom set me up with her friend Helen's son, the pharmacist. Whaddya think?"
Lily: "No."
Judy: "Yeah, that's what I thought." (looking at a sculpture) "Wow! This is very..."
Lily: "Yeah! Very... what is it?"
Judy: "I don't know... I don't even know if I like it, but it definitely speaks to me."
Lily: "What's it saying? Is it asking you out?"
Judy: "Shut up."
Samuel: "You know the couple who seems to have the best sex-life is actually the most troubled."
Judy: "Sure, they're over-compensating."
Samuel: "I'm just always in search of something. I try to keep my eyes open until I see it."
Judy: "Listen to me, I sound like a parade of regrets."
Judy: "So, I'm wondering, is this a sandwich?"
Samuel: "Let's see here. Smells funny."
Judy: "Funny, ha-ha, or funny, rancid?"
Sam: "Um, as I was driving away, it just occurred to me that I could have phrased something a little better."
Judy: "You came back to phrase something better."
Sam: "Yeah, because I didn't want you to think that I was telling you what to do when I said that you should do something."
Judy: "I didn't think that."
Sam: "Because what was going through my mind was really about me.... That's not right. But the point that I'm laboring to make is that I just know that when I'm working, that's the only time I'm really alive and I sense that you might have that same thing."
Judy: "Really?"
Sam: "From the way that you were talking about the things that you love."
Judy: "Sometimes I wish that I could take a vacation from myself."
Sam: "Sometimes I do take a vacation from myself."
Judy: "Where do you go?"
Sam: "Hoover Dam."
Judy: (laughing) "You're funny."
Sam: "Funny, ha-ha or funny, rancid?"
Judy: "...and if he doesn't kiss you, but you feel like you've been kissed."
Samuel: "I've been thinking about that thing that you said."
Judy: "Which thing? I say so many things."
Rick: "What?"

Zoe: (jumping into bed with Lily) "Mommy!"
Lily: "Hey, monkey! Whoah."
Zoe: "I think I have attention deficit disorder."
Lily: "Oh, yeah?"
Grace: (jumping in too) "Yeah, she can't get enough attention. That's a disorder."
Samuel to Judy: "I need you to know that the last few days were more than something sordid and I think you needed to know that you were wanted."
Judy: "I do, I want to get married and I want to have kids. I want all those tings. How do I get them?"
Lily: "I wish I knew. I really wish I knew."
Rick: "It's confusing."
Lily: "What?"
Rick: "To have something to say and not be able to say it."

Rick: "That I love you very much and I can't live without you."
