She felt that "Starter Wives" are groomed immaculately, slim, fit and most have personal trainers so she wanted to fit into that pattern. She said she found it to be time consuming to have to do everything expected of these women. edit »
- (during Joan's therapy session)
Joan: (reading from her journal) 'I have thought about this for a long time. What do I feel under all the pain you have caused me?'
Molly: Gas?
Joan: Betrayal, of course.
Molly: Oh, so close. edit » - Joan: Bambi!
Molly: Spider tattoo and all, sis. (to the doctor) Wanna see the one on my ass?
Doctor: Uh, no, thank you.
Molly: Matches Joan's. We got it in Tijuana! (to Joan) You tell him that story? Bet not.
Doctor: Please, take a seat.
Molly: (to Joan) Miss me?
Joan: Like a whore misses the clap. edit » - Sam: You took me by surprise, Molly. I haven't felt anything that would... Well, anything in a long while. But I'm not gonna change. I'm not gonna get a job or an apartment. I'm not gonna take you out for nice dinners. This is my life. I don't think about the future. But right now... I can offer you friendship and comfort. And if it makes any kind of sense in your life... I would love to make love to you.
Molly: Can I think about it? edit » - Molly: How long have you been homeless?
Sam: I'm not good at small talk either. edit »
- Molly: I love Philip Roth. Especially the Zuckerman Books:
Philip Roth is an American novelist. He gained early literary fame with the 1959 collection Goodbye, Columbus (winner of 1960's National Book Award). The Zuckerman novels include The Ghost Writer (1979), Zuckerman Unbound (1981), The Anatomy Lesson (1983), The Prague Orgy (1985), The Counterlife (1986), American Pastoral (1997), I Married a Communist (1998), The Human Stain (2000) and Exit Ghost (2007). edit » - From Here To Eternity
The opening scene with Molly and Sam kissing on the beach is a nod to the 1953 film From Here To Eternity, where Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr embrace while the waves crash on the beach. edit »
