Quotes:

Sophie: It's just this apartment is very... aware of itself.

Frances: We are like a lesbian couple.

Frances: I'm too tall to marry.

Frances: Sometimes it's good to do what you're supposed to do when you're supposed to do it.

Frances: [at a French cinema] Hello. When did "Puss in Boots" start?

Frances: It's that thing when you're with someone, and you love them and they know it, and they love you and you know it... but it's a party... and you're both talking to other people, and you're laughing and shining... and you look across the room and catch each other's eyes... but - but not because you're possessive, or it's precisely sexual... but because... that is your person in this life. And it's funny and sad, but only because this life will end, and it's this secret world that exists right there in public, unnoticed, that no one else knows about. It's sort of like how they say that other dimensions exist all around us, but we don't have the ability to perceive them. That's - That's what I want out of a relationship. Or just life, I guess.

Benji: Are you still undateable?::Frances: Oh yes, very undateable.

Frances: Do I look old to you?::Benji: No. Yes.::Frances: How old?::Benji: Older than I am.::Frances: Older than 27?::Benji: No. 27 is old, though.

Benji: Let's do something fun. We could go to a movie.::Frances: Movies are so expensive now.::Benji: Yeah, but you're at the movies.

Lev Shapiro: [wrapped in a towel, walking between Frances and Sophie] I'm just trying to get your attention.

Cal McAffrey: Do you have a pen?

Rep. Stephen Collins: You're just seeking the truth. You're a truth seeker. You can't help it, that is just who you are. You're such a hypocrite. You're not interested in me. You come in here, it's all about you and you getting your story. I trusted you. You're my friend! You were supposed to be my friend anyway.

Det. Donald Bell: [to approaching reporter] Whatever you're sellin', I ain't buyin'.

[last lines]::Cal McAffrey: Good night everybody. See you tomorrow...

Cal McAffrey: The newspaper article he types reads: Three Deaths Tied to Gulf War Army Associate New evidence links Rep. Stephen Collins with the suspect in the killings of three people, including Sonia baker, the congressman's political researcher. When confronted by the Washington Globe with information tying him to suspect Robert Bingham, Collins admitted he had directed his former Army associate to follow Baker after learning that she was secretly on the payroll of military contractor PointCorp. Collins, the chairman of the committee investigating PointCorp's government deals, said he authorized Bingham only "to observe" Baker. He said he never intended for her to be harmed. "He just did it," Collins said of Bingham. "He seemed more upset about what she was doing than I was." When police went to arrest Bingham at his Northern Virginia apartment last night, he was found dead, apparently of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. A rifle was next to his body. Investigators said they believe Bingham pushed Baker to her death under a Metro train earlier this week and later shot two witnesses, Deshaun Stagg and Vernon Sando, to silence them.

Cal McAffrey: Mornin'...::Cameron Lynne: So? Where are we, was he nobbing her or not?::Cal McAffrey: Morning, Cam...::Cameron Lynne: That's funny about you.

It's, it's - incongruous!::Cal McAffrey: No, it's not... it's inconsistent.::Cameron Lynne: Pfff, don't be an ass. What do you think? Those are the ideas for our facelift. I know, I know... it's crap! Our new owners have this odd idea that we ought to be turning a profit.::Cal McAffrey: Yeah, well I hear our online site is doing great. I mean, not that I get to notice that sort of thing. I've been here what, uhh... fifteen years? I use a sixteen year old computer... she's been here fifteen minutes and she can launch a Russian satellite with the gear she's got.::Cameron Lynne: Yeah, she told me you behaved like a pig.::Cal McAffrey: That's too strong.::Cameron Lynne: Well, pig-ish.::Cal McAffrey: I showed her a little snout, uhuh.::Cameron Lynne: Well, I happen to like miss Della Frye... and yes, I did send her down there to winkle something out of you. She's hungry, she's cheap and she churns up copy every hour.::Cal McAffrey: Yeah, I now... I'm overfed, I'm too expensive and I take way too long.::Cameron Lynne: Yes, you do.::Cal McAffrey: I was Stephen Collins' room-mate in college... I don't live with him now.::Cameron Lynne: Well, that's a shame isn't it.::Cal McAffrey: Yeah... 'cause I could sell some newspapers.

Cameron Lynne: I want you to do a complete rundown on this Sonia Baker: who she knew, who she blew, the color of her knickers.

Rep. Stephen Collins: [sarcastically] I see you redecorated.::Cal McAffrey: Yeah, I moved the couch a couple of feet.

Cameron Lynne: [to Cal] So where are we? Was he knobbing her or not?
