Rob Salinger Quotes in Micki + Maude (1984)

Rob Salinger: I don't want to divorce, Micki, I just want to marry Maude.

Leo Brody: You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Rob Salinger: I've been with her for ten years. I can't give them up just like that. And it's have your cake and eat it too.

Leo Brody: What do you mean?

Rob Salinger: To have your cake, anyone can do. To eat it and still have some left, that's the trick.

Leo Brody: Eat your cake, have your cake, who cares? You're about to get a plate of sauteed brains thrown into your face, your entire career is the toilet, and you're correcting my grammar?

Rob Salinger: Come on, Micki, just one child. A small one.

Rob Salinger: Will you marry me?

Nurse Mary Verbeck: [telling a spaced out Micki about Rob's infidelity] I have some bad news, Mrs. Salinger. Dr. Fibel and I... how shall I put this. Dr. Fibel and I...

Micki Salinger: It's okay, I know.

Nurse Mary Verbeck: You do?

Micki Salinger: Yes.

Nurse Mary Verbeck: And you don't mind?

Micki Salinger: What am I supposed to do cancel surgery because my doctor's having an affair with his nurse?

Nurse Mary Verbeck: What?

Micki Salinger: [laughing hysterically] You're having an affair with Dr. Fibel.

Nurse Mary Verbeck: What on earth are you talking about? I'm not that kind of woman and neither is Dr. Fibel.

Rob Salinger: [Nurse Verbeck leaves the room in a huff and Rob steps in to find Micki laughing away] Micki, Micki, is everything all right in here?

Micki Salinger: Oh, Rob, did you noticed that Nurse Verbeck is just a little bit menopausal?

Rob Salinger: [the morning after sleeping with Maude] God, I'm so hungover, my head feels like a tuning fork.

Maude Salinger: [at the wrestling match] Come on, Gorilla, kill that son of a bitch!

Maude Salinger: That's not his real name.

Rob Salinger: What am I supposed to say? "Micki, a decade is a long time to be intimate with another human being, but I'm..."

Leo Brody: A little stiff. A little stiff, Rob. How about "Dear..."?

Rob Salinger: Dear? What do you mean "dear"? I don't call her "dear", she's a lawyer.

Leo Brody: Oh... "Councilor"? I'm just not good enough for you.

Rob Salinger: Oh! Common, Leo... Jesus! Wait a minute. Uhm... Oh! Common, Leo... Jesus! Wait a minute. Uhm... "Sometimes in a relationship, uhm... Sometimes in a relationship things happen that neither party anticipates."
