Dr. Bill Harford: [as he watches the mysterious woman being led away by another cult member] What is going to happen to that woman?

Dr. Bill Harford: Are you sure of that?

Victor: Bill, I don't think you realize how much trouble you got yourself into last night just by going over there. Who do you think those people were? Those were not just some ordinary people.

Dr. Bill Harford: You're putting me on.

Dr. Bill Harford: You're probably right.

Victor: Bill, I... I know what happened to you last night. And I know what's been going on since. And I think you just might have got the wrong idea about one or two things.
Dr. Bill Harford: [feigning ignorance] I'm sorry Victor, but... what the hell are you talking about?
Victor: Please, Bill... no games. I was there. At the house. "The house". I saw you, Bill. I saw everything.

Alice: Millions of years of evolution, right? Right? Men have to stick it in every place they can, but for women... women it is just about security and commitment and whatever the fuck else!
Dr. Bill Harford: A little oversimplified, Alice, but yes, something like that.
Alice: If you men only knew...

Mysterious: [whispering] I don't think you realize the danger you're in now. You cannot fool them for much longer. You need to get away, right now, before it's too late!

Dr. Bill Harford: Will you come with me?
Mysterious: That's impossible.
Dr. Bill Harford: Why?

[first lines]
Dr. Bill Harford: Honey, have you seen my wallet?
Alice: Isn't it on the bedside table?
Dr. Bill Harford: Now listen, you know we're running a little late.
Alice: I know. How do I look?
Dr. Bill Harford: Perfect.
Alice: Is my hair okay?
Dr. Bill Harford: It's great.
Alice: You're not even looking at it.
Dr. Bill Harford: It's beautiful. You always look beautiful.

Marion: I love you. I don't want to go away with Carl.
Dr. Bill Harford: Marion, I don't think you realize...
Marion: I do, even if I'm never to see you again, I want at least to live near you.
Dr. Bill Harford: Marion, listen to me, listen to me. You're very upset right now and I don't think you realize what you're saying.
Marion: I love you.
Dr. Bill Harford: We barely know each other. I don't think we've had a single conversation about anything except your father.
Marion: I love you.

Victor: Bill... What the hell did you think you were doing there? I couldn't... I couldn't even begin to imagine how you'd even heard about it, let alone got yourself through the front door. And then I remembered seeing you talking with that prick piano player, Nick... or whatever the fuck his name was, at my party here the other night. And it didn't take much to figure out the rest.
Dr. Bill Harford: It wasn't Nick's fault. It was mine.
Victor: Of course it was Nick's fault! If he hadn't mentioned this to you in the first place, none of this would have happened. I recommended that little cocksucker to those people, and now he's made me look like a complete asshole by telling you about it!
Dr. Bill Harford: [humbly] Victor... what can I say? I had absolutely no idea you were involved in any way.
Victor: I know you didn't, Bill. But I also know that you went to Nick's hotel this morning and spoke with the desk clerk.
Dr. Bill Harford: How did you know that?
Victor: Because I had you followed.
Dr. Bill Harford: You... you had me followed?
Victor: Okay, yes I had you followed. I owe you an apology. I'm sorry. But it was for your own good. I know you went to Nick's hotel looking for him and I know what the desk clerk told you. But what the desk clerk didn't tell you was that those two men with Nick... all they did was drive Nick to the airport and put him on a plane back to Seattle. I assure you that Nick is safely back home and he's probably banging Mrs. Nick as we speak.
Dr. Bill Harford: The desk clerk said that Nick has a bruise on his face... a black eye. That he looked frightened as if he was just badly beaten up.
Victor: Yeah? Okay, so Nick had a bruise. But that's the least he deserved for telling you about that party the other night.

Dr. Bill Harford: You know what they say, once a doctor always a doctor.
Nick: Yes, or in my case, never a doctor, never a doctor.

Dr. Bill Harford: Let's just - relax, Alice. This pot is making you aggressive.
Alice: No! It's not the pot. It's you! Why can't you ever give me a straight fucking answer?
Dr. Bill Harford: I was under the impression that's what I was doing. I don't even know what we're arguing about here.

Dr. Bill Harford: There was a... there was a... there was, uh... a woman there. Who, uh, tried to warn me.
Victor: I know.
Dr. Bill Harford: Do you know who she was?
Victor: Yes. She was... she was a hooker. Sorry, but... that's what she was.
Dr. Bill Harford: A hooker?
Victor: Bill, suppose I told you that... that everything that happened to you there... the threats, the- the girl's warnings, her last minute intervention, suppose I said that all of that... was staged. That it was a kind of charade. That it was fake.
Dr. Bill Harford: Fake?
Victor: Yes, fake.
Dr. Bill Harford: Why would they do that?
Victor: Why? In plain words... to scare the living shit out of you. To keep you quiet about where you'd been and what you'd seen.

Domino: [to Bill] Sorry about the mess. Maid's day off.

Marion: Please don't despise me.

[last lines]
Alice: The important thing is: we're awake now. And hopefully... for a long time to come.
Dr. Bill Harford: Forever.
Alice: Forever?
Dr. Bill Harford: Forever!
Alice: Let's not use that word, you know? It frightens me. But I do love you. And, you know, there's something very important that we need to do as soon as possible.
Dr. Bill Harford: What's that?
Alice: Fuck.

Dr. Bill Harford: Was it the second password? Is that what gave me away?
Victor: Yes, finally. But not because you didn't know it. It's because there was no second password. Of course it didn't help you too much that those people arrived there in limos... and you showed up in a taxi. Or that when they took your coat, they found the receipt to the costume from the rental house in your pocket made out to you-know-who.

Alice: We were in a deserted city and our clothes were gone. We were naked and I was terrified and I felt ashamed. Oh, God, and I was angry because I thought it was your fault. You rushed away to go find my clothes for us. As soon as you were gone, it was completely different. I felt wonderful.

Dr. Bill Harford: The woman lying dead in the morgue was the woman at the party. Well, Victor, maybe I'm missing something here. You call it fake, a charade... Do you mind telling me what kind of fuckin' charade ends up with somebody turning up dead?
Victor: [getting angry and defensive] Okay Bill... let's cut the bullshit, alright? You've been way out of your depth for the last 24 hours! You want to know what kind of charade? I'll tell you exactly what kind. That whole play-acted, "take me" phony sacrifice that you've been jerking off with had nothing to do with her real death. The truth is, nothing happened to her after you left that party that hadn't happened to her before. She got her brains fucked out. Period!

Victor: Listen, Bill. Nobody killed anybody. Someone died. It happens all the time. Life goes on. It always does, until it doesn't. But you know that, don't you?

Sandor: Don't you think one of the charms of marriage is that it makes deception a necessity for both parties? May I ask why a beautiful woman who could have any man in this room wants to be married?
Alice: Why wouldn't she?
Sandor: Is it as bad as that?
Alice: As good as that!

Mysterious: [at the masked orgy] I don't know who you are or what you think you're doing, but you obviously don't belong here.
Dr. Bill Harford: I'm sorry. I think you must have me mistaken for someone else.
Mysterious: [whispering] Don't be crazy. You are in great danger.
