"[Reading]. A revolution isn't a gala dinner. It cannot be created like a book, a drawing or a tapestry. It cannot unfold with such elegance, tranquility and delicacy. Or such sweetness, affability. Courtesy, restraint and generosity. A revolution is an uprising, a violent act by which one class overthrows another."

"As we walked, we talked and talked and talked about politics, about movies, and about why the French could never come close to producing a good rock band."

"I don't believe in God, but if I did, he would be a black, left-handed guitarist."

"I was one of the insatiables. The ones you'd always find sitting closest to the screen. Why do we sit so close? Maybe it was because we wanted to receive the images first. When they were still new, still fresh. Before they cleared the hurdles of the rows behind us. Before they'd been relayed back from row to row, spectator to spectator; until worn out, secondhand, the size of a postage stamp, it returned to the projectionist's cabin. Maybe, too, the screen was really a screen. It screened us... from the world."

"There's no such thing as love. There are only proofs of love."

"My parents fucked once in their lives. That's why we're twins, they didn't want to make it twice."

"One man is about to do the unthinkable. No sex. Whatsoever. For... 40 Days and 40 Nights."

"Jerry Anderson: I've jerked off three times since lunch and I've still got this fucking hard-on."

"Keegan Connor Tracy – Mandy"

"Candy: [describing the typical sexuality of men] They're like animals. Their whole lives revolve around their penises."

"Mandy: [describing the importance of women's power of abstinence] Women have been doing this since...the beginning. It's all part of the system. But you're taking the power and you're fucking with the system. Now, you realize that we can't let this happen, hmm?"

"This is a photocopy of Candy's ass? You're gonna call her, right?"

"Do you know how many hours I spent looking for for my "Temple of Poon" tape? One. That is a long time to be looking for porn, Matt. What the fuck is going on?"

"Dude, you've got to tell her. Seriously. You can pass off two dates without a kiss as being old-fashioned. You go three and you're a homo."

"Wait, wait. Don't go to sleep yet. We got to talk about something. [pause] Stickers. Do you like stickers?"
