"I can't have sex with you! My body belongs to my husband and there is no way that I could betray him in that way. But what I do from the neck up is a different story."

"Melanie Griffith - Nicole Oliver"

"Leonardo DiCaprio - Brandon Darrow"

"Every curve in your body fulfills its promise. If the universe has any meaning, I'm looking at it."

"Tony Darrow - Moving Man"

"One minute you're in the lunchroom at Glenwood High and you fucking blink and you're 40, you blink again and you can see movies at half price on a senior citizen's pass. Ask not for whom the bell tolls, or to put it more accurately, ask not for whom the toilet flushes."

"Judy Davis - Robin Simon"

"Joe Mantegna - Tony Gardella"

"The bigger the controversy, the bigger the ratings – and yes, our circulation too. The bigger the ratings, the more the Olympic Committee could ask for next time around, and the more the networks could charge their advertisers."

"Whenever the financial stakes are so enormous – and in sports these days, they usually are – ethics, fair play, sportsmanship; forget it. The only Olympic ideal is money. Aw hell, we're all whores."

"In a way it was funny, but it was also pathetic and it was dangerous."

"I've got two operatives feuding, which means I'm caught in the middle, so now everything's riding on my mediation skills. It's reminiscent of something I was up against in Eastern Europe a couple years back; which was actually a more precarious situation 'cause you're dealing with foreign governments and who wants the responsibility of a Cold War? Not me."

"Sure they used cash, but then they'd call their home phones, and they'd register in hotels under their own names."

""Tonya the Bad"...one Tokyo promoter tried to get her to wrestle on the Japanese circuit for millions of dollars, as "Tonya the Terrible". See, some fairy tales don't have a happy ending."

"We the judges meet the athletes at receptions, of course we observe the practice sessions. In reality, it's almost like a teacher who forms an opinion about a student outside of class, and grades them accordingly."

"Now the public's very fickle and athletes, even when they've won the gold medal, have a very short shelf-life. A great skating performance is a thing of the moment and when a window of opportunity opens, you've got to be ready."

"Fair play is for the leisure class. The only ones who get paid are the winners. Kids ask me, I tell them the truth, I tell them: "Take the money and run." Before you get hurt, or get old."

"Tonya and Nancy...we imprisoned them both in images that we use to sell soup, and newspapers, and Olympic Games, and TV movies."
