Caroline in the City

Caroline: You know, it's weird. Even though I make a good living, I still feel like I have to make excuses for dropping out of college. Tom: Oh come on, anyone can go to college to get a boring desk job in a big building. You dropped out to become a cartoonist. Caroline: No, actually I dropped out to get a boring desk job in a big building. I was a copywriter, but I was so bored. I ended up doodling on my deskpad all day, until someone finally noticed. Unfortunately it was my boss, and he fired me

Richard: (about asking her to go on a date with Tom) Alright look, I really appreciate your doing this for me. Caroline: Yeah, sending me out on a date with a handsome guy. Just don't let it ever happen again.

Richard: Where's your cleavage? Caroline: I left it in my other dress

Caroline: Where're you from? Tom: Oh, just a small town in Idaho. Caroline: I'm from a small town in Wisconsin. Annie: Oh, Wisconsin cheese, Idaho potatoes. Don't you two make a lovely side dish?

Tom: Hi, I'm Tom Barna. Caroline: I'm Caroline Duffy. Annie: I'm double jointed. Tom: Wait a minute, Caroline Duffy? Of "Caroline in the City"? Caroline: Yeah, that's me. Tom: Really? I love that comic strip. It's so smart, so sophisticated... Caroline: And on Sundays, so colourful.

Annie: (about a couple making out) Oh, I hate her. Caroline: Yeah, it's been a while for me too. Annie: No, I want her shoes. I had sex last night. Caroline: Oh. Then I hate you.

Richard: Tom, I can't let you talk because you're going to tell me I didn't the commission, and I've had a really disappointing life and I couldn't handle another rejection. Tom: No, no, it's not a rejection. It's down to you and two other people. Richard: So you're saying I have a sixty-six percent chance of being rejected. Tom: Well, I never thought of it that way. Richard: Welcome to my world.

Johnny: Hey boss, we've got a problem back here. Remo: What sort of problem? Johnny: You know that espresso machine we got cheap because the guy said it fell off a truck? Remo: Sure sure, so? Johnny: Boss, it really did fall off a truck. It's back here in like eight pieces.

Richard: Look Remo, I have a very important meeting in a few minutes with a member of the TriBeCa Arts Council, and it's come to my attention that some people find me a bit, uh...standoff-ish. Remo: No, that's crazy! You're not standoff-ish. You're boring.
