I know you care about him. I've never seen you like this about anyone, so please don't take it wrong when I tell you that I believe that Tom, while a very nice guy, is the Devil.

Jane Craig

This isn't friendship.

What do you think the Devil is going to look like if he's around? Nobody is going to be taken in if he has a long, red, pointy tail. No. I'm semi-serious here. He will look attractive and he will be nice and helpful and he will get a job where he influences a great God-fearing nation and he will never do an evil thing... he will just bit by little bit lower standards where they are important. Just coax along flash over substance... Just a tiny bit. And he will talk about all of us really being salesmen. And he'll get all the great women.

And in the middle of all this, I started to think about the one thing that makes me feel really good and makes immediate sense... and it's you.

Jane Craig

Oh, Bubba.

I'm going to stop right now. Except that I would give anything if you were two people, so that I could call up the one who's my friend and tell her about the one that I like so much!

Paul Moore

It must be nice to always believe you know better, to always think you're the smartest person in the room.

Jane Craig

No. It's awful.

You're an amazing woman - what a feeling having you inside my head!

Jane Craig
[smiling]

Yeah - it was - an unusual place to be.

It's like - indescribable - you knew just when to feed me the next line, you knew the m... second before I needed it. There was like, a rhythm we got into - it was like - great sex!
[he pulls her toward him while she laughs]

Jane Craig

So you like me, huh?

I like you as much as I can like anyone who thinks I'm an asshole.
