Genres

• Romance

Taglines:

This road will never end. It probably goes all around the world.

Wherever, whatever, have a nice day.
whatever it takes to have a nice day
It's not where you go, it's how you get there.

Quotes:

Bob Pigeon: I'm afraid if I shared your wine, I might catch this awful disease you appear to have. My jacket would grow little zippers all over it and my toes would have jingle bells on them like those there.

Mike Waters: This chick's living in a new car ad.

Scott Favor: It's when you start doing things for free, that you start to grow wings. Isn't that right, Mike.::Mike Waters: What?::Scott Favor: Wings, Michael. You grow wings, and become a fairy.

Scott Favor: I never thought I could be a real model, you know fashion-shit, cause I'm better at full body stuff It.8 okay so long as the photographer doesn't come on to you and expect something for no pay I'm trying to make a living, you know, and I like to be professional 'Course if the guy wants to pay me, then shit-yeah. Here I am for him. I'll sell my ass, I do it on the street all the time for cash. And I'll be on the cover of a book. It's when you start doing it for free that you start to grow wings, Right, Mike?

Gary: Dude, if we can't steal from them going into the bar, Dude, we can get them coming out! See, Bob-dude?

Mike Waters: I love you, and you don't pay me.

Bob Pigeon: Scott. When you inherit your fortune, on your twenty-first birthday, let's see... how far away is this?::Scott Favor: One week away, Bob, just one more week.::Bob Pigeon: Let's not call ourselves robbers, but Diana's foresters. Gentlemen of the shade. Minions of the Moon. Men of good government.::Scott Favor: [under his breath] When I turn twenty-one, I don't want any more of this life. My mother and father will be surprised at the incredible change. It will impress them more when such a fuck-up like me turns good than if I had been a good son all along. All the past years I will think of as one big vacation. At least it wasn't as boring as schoolwork. All my bad behavior I'm going to throw away to pay my debt. I will change when everybody expects it the least.

Scott Favor: I only have sex with a guy for money.::Mike Waters: Yeah, I know.::Scott Favor: And two guys can't love each other.::Mike Waters: Yeah.::Mike Waters: Well, I don't know. I mean... I mean, for me, I could love someone even if I, you know, wasn't paid for it... I love you, and... you don't pay me.::Scott Favor: Mike...::Mike Waters: I really wanna kiss you, man... Well goodnight, man... I love you though... You know that... I do love you.

Scott Favor: Why, you wouldn't even look at a clock unless hours were lines of coke, dials looked like the signs of gay bars, or time itself was a fair hustler in black leather.

Scott Favor: Getting away from everything feels good.::Mike Waters: Yeah, it does.::Scott Favor: When I left home, the maid asked me where I was off to. I said "Wherever. Whatever. Have a nice day."::Mike Waters: You had a maid. If I had a normal family, and a good up-bringing, then I would have been a well-adjusted person.::Scott Favor: It depends on what you call normal.::Mike Waters: Yeah, it does. Well, you know. Normal. Like a mom and a dad and a dog, and shit like that. Normal. Normal.::Scott Favor: So, you didn't have a normal dog?::Mike Waters: No, I didn't have a dog.::Scott Favor: Didn't... or... didn't have a normal dad?::Mike Waters: Didn't have a dog or a normal dad anyway, yeah. That's alright. I don't feel sorry for myself. I mean, I feel like I'm... I feel like I'm... you know... well-adjusted.
