Charlie Lang Quotes in It Could Happen to You (1994)

[Implying she was the first person he ever had sex with]

Yvonne Biasi: Really?

Charlie Lang: Yeah.

Yvonne Biasi: [sincerely] That's sweet.

Charlie Lang: I guess. So we went down to the marriage license bureau, and I remember there was this other couple there. They were orthodox Jews. It was an arranged marriage. They weren't allowed to see each other. They were surrounded by their families, they couldn't get a glimpse of each other. I couldn't help but think, "they don't even know they're attached to each other, they don't even know if they've got anything to talk to about with each other." And here it is, ten years later. I bet they're happily married with six cute little kids, and Muriel and I have nothing to say to one another.

Charlie Lang: Meatball! That's what I want!

Charlie Lang: I told you I'd share my ticket. I never planned on sharing my heart. Maybe I could get lucky twice today.
