 Marsha Mason QuotationMovie Title: The Goodbye Girl (1977) as Paula McFadden: Elliot Garfield [talking on phone]: I just called the 37th precinct. There is no Charles Dagastino in Homicide. Then I called Rita Scott, an old actress friend of mine who was in "The Merchant of Venice" this year with the ever-popular Tony DeForest. Rita told me all about this girl Tony's living with. A certain Paula McFadden, a former dancer and a ten-year-old daughter Lucy. She also told me that the apartment in question is leased in the name of Tony DeForest. She knows this for a fact because she used to live with Tony, the smoothie, prior to Paula and Lucy. Now can we continue this conversation in a drier room, Ms. McFadden? Paula McFadden : You got problems? Take it up with the housing authority. Elliot Garfield : Don't hang up. Please, don't hang up. I don't have any more change, I'm soaked to the bone, and I have a very low threshold for disease. Look, I don't know what Tony told you, but he's got my money, I got a lease, and you've got the apartment. One of us got screwed. Let me rephrase that. We have to talk this out, and I am in no condition, financial or health-wise, to look for a hotel in the pouring rain. If there's any such thing as the 78th-street flu, I think I've got it. Paula McFadden : Why don't you take a shot at a convenient place? Elliot Garfield : Five minutes. That's all I'm asking. What is it? In about 30 seconds, we're going to get cut off. My number is 873-5261, it's a flooded booth on Amsterdam Avenue. If you have any compassion in your heart whatsoever... I'm trying to work it out, operator. Any compassion in your heart whatsoever, you'll call me at 873-5261. That number again is 873-52... oh, shit. Paula McFadden : I thought you said you were decent. Elliot Garfield : I am decent. I also happen to be naked. Paula McFadden : You were never four-and-a-half, you were born 26. Paula McFadden : What happened to your eye? Elliot Garfield : I used it to stop a fist from going through my face. Paula McFadden : Out. Elliot Garfield : Out Paula McFadden : Her Out. They have motels for this sort of thing. Paula McFadden : Get that rising young actress the hell out of here. Elliott Garfield : I happen to have a lease in my pocket. Are you gonna honor it or what? Paula McFadden : I have a daughter in my bedroom. That tops the lease in your pocket. Lucy McFadden : How long is he going to stay? Paula McFadden : As long as he lets us. Paula McFadden : Possession is nine-tenths of the law. Lucy McFadden : What's the last tenth? Paula McFadden : Shut up. Movie Title: Chapter Two (1979) as Jennie MacLaine: Jennie MacLaine : I am wonderful, I'm nuts about me, and if you're stupid enough to throw someone sensational like me aside, you don't deserve as good as you've got. Movie Title: The Cheap Detective (1978) as Georgia Merkle: Lou Peckinpaugh : Your husband's dead a little over an hour and you're already dressed in black? How long you had that outfit waiting in the closet? Georgia Merkle : You're wrong. I just bought it. There's an all-night widow shop at Fifth and Geary. Lou Peckinpaugh : Are you sure the police didn't follow you here? Georgia Merkle : I'm positive. They came with me. [The door opens and the police come in] Lou Peckinpaugh : This is definitely our last date, Georgia. Lieutenant DiMaggio : Mind answering a few questions downtown, Lou? Lou Peckinpaugh : We *are* downtown. Lieutenant DiMaggio : [thinks a moment] Then this will be fine. Lieutenant DiMaggio : What did you and Merkle argue about last Monday night? Georgia Merkle : It's all right. Tell them, darling. Lou Peckinpaugh : Don't call me darling in front of the police with a dead husband. Movie Title: Drop Dead Fred (1991) as Polly: Elizabeth : Mother, do you remember when I was little, I had a friend, he was make-believe? Polly : No. Elizabeth : Don't you remember? Only I could see him? Polly : No, I don't remember Drop Dead Fred at all. [Polly has just finished reading a Fairy Tale] Young Elizabeth : Did they live happily ever after? Polly : Of Course Elizabeth. Young Elizabeth : How do you know? Polly : Because, she was a good little girl, if she would have been naughty, the Prince would have run away. Young Elizabeth : What a pile of shit. Movie Title: Cinderella Liberty (1973) as Maggie Paul: John Baggs Jr. : Would you call yourself a "Champagne cocktail-sippin', cock-teasin', downtown barroom whore"? Maggie Paul : [bursting into tears] Second generation! Movie Title: Frasier (1993) as Sherry: Sherry : I just love making people laugh. I think humor is like medicine. Niles : Oh, we must've been in the placebo group. Roz : [to Sherry] What is that perfume you're wearing? Frasier : Yes, I've been wondering that too. Sherry : 'Madame Boudoir'. It's really good. For 100 bucks, I can drown myself in it. Niles : I have 60. Movie Title: Only When I Laugh (1981) as Georgia: Georgia : Let me sleep on the sofa. I love sleeping on the sofa. Beds are too big when you're alone. |
