Andera quotes from Beautiful Girls (1996)

Can I ask you a question?

Andera

Go ahead.

How long have you been going out with you boyfriend?

Andera

Eight months.

And it's good?

Andera

It's very good.

He makes you happy?

Andera

Yeah. I look for that in a man you know. The ones that make me miserable don't seem to last.

Right.

Andera

You know there are fours words I need to hear before I go to sleep. Four little words. "Good night sweet girl." That's all it takes. I'm easy, I know, but a guy who can muster up those four words is a guy I want to stay with.

Willie

Do you want to go home with me?

Andera

No.

Willie

I had to ask, because to be honest with you, I don't find you the least bit attractive.

Willie

Now do you want to go home with me?

Andera

No.

Willie

You know how it is, the beginnings? When you first fall in love and you can't eat, you can't sleep and getting a call from her, it makes your day. It's like seeing a shooting star.

Andera

It's the best.

Willie

Yeah, but, inevitably it goes away. It quiets down. So, this is my thing see, why get married now? Why not have two, three more of those beginning things before I, you know, settle into the big fade?

Andera

The big fade, that's an awful way to put it.

Willie

I look at you and I think it's amazing that there's a guy out there gets to do all kinds of things with you. He gets to make you happy and spend evenings with you...

Andera

...make me martinis, listen to Van Morrison...

Willie

...smell your skin...

Andera

...after a day at the beach.

Willie

Yeah, and read the papers...

Andera

...on a Sunday morning...

Willie

...a rainy Sunday morning, and pepper your belly with baby kisses... Sorry.

Andera

The thing is, there's a guy out there thinks the same thing about Tracy and he's jealous of you because you get to do all that with her.

Willie

Let me ask you something; can you think of anything better than making love to an attractive stranger... with just an oil light to guide your way? Can you think of anything better?

Andera

Going back to Chicago. Ice cold martini. Van Morrison.

Willie

Sunday papers. Got ya.
