1 quote
Paul Kirkwood Supermodels are beautiful girls, Will. A beautiful girl can make you dizzy, like you've been drinking Jack and Coke all morning. She can make you feel high full of the single greatest commodity known to man - promise. Promise of a better day. Promise of a greater hope. Promise of a new tomorrow. This particular aura can be found in the gait of a beautiful girl. In her smile, in her soul, the way she makes every rotten little thing about life seem like it's going to be okay. The supermodels, Willy? That's all they are. Bottled promise. Scenes from a brand new day. Hope dancing in stiletto heels...A beautiful girl is all-powerful and that's as good as love. That's as good as love.

Jan Only when faced with losing me do you decide you want to spend the rest of your life with me.
Paul So, what's wrong with that? I didn't like the alternative. I mean that's how one usually comes to a decision anyway, right?
Jan Wrong again, Paul - one comes to a decision based on what one wants, not based on what one doesn't want. Got it?
Paul Did you hear that Andera went back to Chicago? She was supposed to stay through the reunion. She just up and left. What did you say to her in that ice shack, Will?
I told you, we just talked.
Paul You told her things, didn't you?
Paul You let her behind the curtain, didn't you?
Maybe she missed her boyfriend.
Paul You let her behind the curtain, I know you did. You never let them behind the curtain Will. You never let them see the little old man behind the curtain working the levers of the great and powerful Oz. They are all sisters Willie... they aren't allowed back there... they mustn't see.
Tell me the truth. You stay up nights thinking about this shit?
Paul You say it like it's a bad thing.
Paul So you're the little neighborhood Lolita.
Marty So you're the alcoholic high school buddy shit for brains.
[about Paul's walls, covered with pictures of models]
You got to take this shit down.
Paul Why?
You're like a serial killer.
Paul Don't cap on my supermodels. Leave it alone.
Paul Look who's talking, Mr. Jerry Lee Lewis.
Paul I don't judge. If she can cut her own food, she's fair game.
It's not like that. OK. All I'm saying is you got to take all this down because it's creepy...
Paul Look. The supermodel's a beautiful girl, Will. She can make you dizzy, like you've been drinking Jack all morning. She can make you feel high for the greatest commodity known to man - promise, the promise of a better day, the promise of a greater hope, the promise of a new tomorrow. This particular ore can be found in the gait of a beautiful girl - in her smile, in her soul, in the way she makes every rotten thing about life seem OK. The supermodels, Willie? That's all they are - bottled promise. Scenes from a new day, hope in stiletto heels.
I am now going to check your freezer for human heads.
Paul A beautiful girl's all-powerful and that is as good as love. That's as good as love.
