Dave Novotny Quotes in Election (1999)

Jim McAllister: Dave, I'm just saying this as your friend, what you're doing is really, really wrong and you've gotta stop. The line you've crossed is... it's immoral, and it's illegal.

Dave Novotny: Jim, come on, I don't need a lecture on ethics.

Jim McAllister: I'm not talking about ethics, I'm talking about morals.

Dave Novotny: What's the difference?

Jim McAllister: [narrating] Oh, there's one more thing about Tracy I think you should know.

Dave Novotny: Her pussy gets so wet you can't believe it.

Dave Novotny: It know it seems crazy, but, Jim, what I'm trying to tell you is that Tracy and I are totally, totally... in love.

Jim McAllister: [in disbelief] In love?

Dave Novotny: Yeah. It's serious. She inspires me in ways that Linda never has. She even wants to read my novel.

Jim McAllister: But you haven't written your novel.

Dave Novotny: That's the whole point! I've got the whole thing right here, I just need to get it out there. And Tracy wants me to write it so she can read it. It's beautiful.

[Dave's affair with Tracy has been discovered]

Dave Novotny: [tearfully] Tracy's mom, she doesn't understand.

Walt Hendricks: No, I'd say she doesn't. The fact is I have never seen a mother so upset. All right, I know what Tracy told her mother, what her mother told me, I need to hear this from you, because I have a legal responsibility here. Let me ask you this... Did you cross the line with this girl?

Dave Novotny: I... We... We're in love.

[he sobs helplessly]
