Goofs
| DATE: It the book, Theresa's sister Katherine goes to Puerto Rico to procure an abortion during a scene that takes place in the mid-1960s. In the movie, the timeline is changed so that this scene is set in 1975, two years after abortion was legalized by the Roe v. Wade ruling, making the trip to Puerto Rico unnecessary. |
Quotes
|
Theresa: Honeymoon? I thought you went to get an abortion! Theresa: I'm alone, I'm not lonely. I'm depressed - you're depressing me. Martin: Teaching's a waste of time, I'm writing a novel. Theresa: Isn't everybody. Martin: Getting divorced too. Theresa: Isn't everybody. Tony Lo Porto: Kiss my ass. Theresa: I did. James: Is that why you don't wash the dishes, because the roaches are hungry? Theresa: Why else? Theresa: Most guys first time out they try to score, they expect it. And some of them get pretty nasty if they don't get it. So by the 2nd time it's either fuck or forget it. Theresa: Everybody's taking something or they'd never make it till morning. Katherine: We're all hurt someplace and we're all looking for a painkiller. Theresa: First thing, on with the tv. Next - nothing. Just sit there on the bed watching the porno movie, I honest to God expect he's going to bring out a bag of popcorn. Finally, the big moment. He doesn't even take off his pants. And all the time he's doing it to me, he's watching them do it on tv. Theresa: Talk about amateur, played for a hooker by a square and ripped off as a sucker by a dick. Theresa: I don't believe in the future. Man in bar: Me, queer! Jesus, I'm a married man, I've got 2 kids and a very expensive mistress. I'm an animal. Theresa: That's why you go to gay bars ? James: What are you hooked on? Theresa: Anything I can get. Theresa: Go set the world on fire. Tony Lo Porto: On a couple of bucks! Theresa: Find a smaller world. Bartender: Confidentially, with me... one's too many and a million's not enough. Theresa: I got the same problem with men. Theresa: When your nightlife interferes with your daylife... Gary: In my neighbourhood if you didn't fight you were a fruit. In Prison if you didn't fight you spread ass. |
