Jack Faulkner: What are you, a virgin? You weren't so hard to convince that first night.

Suzanne Vale: I thought we didn't do anything that first night.

[Suzanne angrily backs up her car]

Doris Mann: Certainly not doubts!

[both laugh, Suzanne enters]

Doris Mann: Oh, I was just coming to get you, your little friend is here.

Jack Faulkner: What is it that especially bothers you, that it was on the same day or that it was Evelyn Ames?

Jack Faulkner: That is such bullshit. Women are always saying it's not the fact that you left, it's the way that you did it. It's not that you fuck around, it's that you lie about it. You're all so full of shit. It IS the fact that I fuck around, and it is that fact that I WILL leave.

Suzanne Vale: You said you loved me.

Jack Faulkner: I meant it at the time.

Suzanne Vale: Well what was it, a viral love? Kind of a 24 hour thing? Apparently Evelyn smells like Catalina too; must be going around.
