"When I look back on my little life and all the women I’ve known. I can’t help to think about all that they’ve done for me, I hadn’t left up for them, how they looked after me, and cared for me, and I would pay them by never returning the favor. Yeah, I used to think I had the best end of the deal. What have I got… really… some money in my pocket, some nice threads, a fancy car at my disposal, and I am single… unattached, free as a bird.

"Anyone in the mood for a little Alfie, straight-up?"

"Whenever you meet a beautiful woman, just remember somewhere there's a man who's sick of shagging her."
