• (Drew Barrymore) "Oh, yeah, all kinds. Especially UPS."

• (Mary-Louise Parker) "I don't know what it is but there's something that goes on between women. You men know that because it's the same for you. I'm not saying one sex is better then the other.

• (Mary-Louise Parker) "Yeah, I do -- You know what's weird? You never know the last time you sleep with somebody it's the last time. You're thinking: "Oh, we got problems, we got work to do," you know, but you never think -- and then you break up and a month later you look back and you go: "Oh, that was it." That Tuesday or Friday or whenever, and you wished you paid attention because it was the last time -- Well."

You think that was easy? I even voted for Carter twice. But you can't fight nature. God knows, you girls keep trying. Treating your men like side dishes. Stick a fork in when needed-just like men used to treat us."
