• Rosalyn Rosenfeld : Life is ridiculous. And you know that I would never say anything bad about your father in front of you, but your father is a sick son-of-a bitch.

  Danny Rosenfeld : Daddy's a sick son-of-a-bitch?

  Rosalyn Rosenfeld : Don't repeat that... but yes.

• Rosalyn Rosenfeld : I knew that Pete was going to go over there and knock some sense into your head. I've been reading this book Irving. It's by Wayne Dyer. The Power of Intention. And my intention in sending Pete over to you was that so you could come up with this plan. So, you're welcome.

• Rosalyn Rosenfeld : We fight and then we fuck, that's our thing.

  Irving Rosenfeld : [Narrating]  She was the Picasso of passive-aggressive karate.

• Irving Rosenfeld : [Rosalyn has accidentally destroyed their new microwave]  I told you not to put metal in the science oven, what did you do that for?

  Rosalyn Rosenfeld : Don't make such a big deal! Just get another one.

  Irving Rosenfeld : I don't want another one, want the one that Carmine gave me.

  Rosalyn Rosenfeld : [mocking]  Oh, Carmine! I want the one that Carmine gave me! Carmine! Carmine!

  [serious] 

  Rosalyn Rosenfeld : Why don't you just marry Carmine? Get a little gold microwave and put it on a chain around your neck! You wanna be more like Carmine? Why don't you build something, like he does? Instead of all your empty deals; they're just like your fuckin' science oven. You know, I read that it takes all of the nutrition out of our food! It's empty, just like your deals. Empty! Empty!

  Irving Rosenfeld : Listen to this bullshit.

  Rosalyn Rosenfeld : It's not bullshit! I read it in an article, look: By Paul Brodeur.

  [hands Irving the article] 

  Rosalyn Rosenfeld : Bring something into this house that's gonna take all the nutrition out of our food and then light our house on fire? Thank God for me.

• Sydney Prosser : What the hell do you think you're doing?

  Rosalyn Rosenfeld : What do I think I'm doing? What the fuck do you think you're doing? You're going to come in here and judge me for flirting with someone else when you've been fucking my husband for how many years?

  Sydney Prosser : You don't have any fucking clue what's going on!

  Rosalyn Rosenfeld : I have a ring on my finger. We have a child together!

  Sydney Prosser : He doesn't love you, Rosalyn. He loves me. And you know it, and I know it, and he knows it. And it might be done now, but it was beautiful, and it was real...

  Rosalyn Rosenfeld : Stop it.

  Sydney Prosser : -and we loved each other.

  Rosalyn Rosenfeld : Shut up.

  Sydney Prosser : You scare him, and you manipulate him, and you use your son!

  Rosalyn Rosenfeld : Well, he must like it on some level. He must want it, because he keeps coming back for it. It's like that perfume that you love, that you can't stop smelling even when there's something sour in it. Can't get enough of it. Well guess what? He's never gonna leave me. He's always going to want me, and I will make you so sorry, Edith. I will make you so sorry for what you've done to my family. Mark my words!

  Sydney Prosser : That is fucked up! I would never say anything that fucked up to anybody, but you do because you're gross inside. You're so fucked up and gross.

  Rosalyn Rosenfeld : Oh, I'm gross inside?

  Sydney Prosser : Yeah!

  Rosalyn Rosenfeld : Maybe you're gross inside. What, robbing people and all that shit that you do? Maybe we're both gross inside. That's what Irving loves about us. At least he's consistent. You know, sometimes in life, all you have are fucked up, poisonous choices.

  [She kisses Sydney and laughs] 

• Rosalyn Rosenfeld : The car's a little dinged up, I'm a little stiff. But whatever I don't want to talk about it.

• Irving Rosenfeld : You're young. You're beautiful. You gotta go out and find somebody else. Get some friends. Alright?

  Rosalyn Rosenfeld : I don't like going out. I get anxiety when I have to meet people. You know how hard that is.

• Rosalyn Rosenfeld : [Muttering]  Don't put metal in that science oven, Rosalyn. Don't put metal in that science... He always treats me like a fucking child, I'll do whatever I want.

  [Puts a metal TV dinner container in the microwave, turns it on. The microwave bursts into flames] 

  Rosalyn Rosenfeld : Oh!

  Danny Rosenfeld : [Off-screen]  Another fire!

  Rosalyn Rosenfeld : No, Danny! Not that one! That one's empty! We gotta use the big one!

• Rosalyn Rosenfeld : You told me that you wanted me to find a nice, quiet man. He's the one.

  Irving Rosenfeld : Oh, what a doozy you picked. Oh, you hit that... He's the most dangerous guy ever.

  Rosalyn Rosenfeld : Well, what do you expect, Irving? I know everybody through you!

• Rosalyn Rosenfeld : [Discussing her nail polish with Dolly Polito]  There's something, the topcoat. It's like, perfumey, but there's also something, rotten. And I know that sounds crazy, but I can't get enough of it.

• Rosalyn Rosenfeld : [interrupting]  Hey, Irving, I'm gonna be having fun. Maybe it'll be contagious, huh?

• Rosalyn Rosenfeld : You know I'd never say this in front of you but your father is a sick son of a bitch.

  Danny Rosenfeld : Daddy's a sick son of a bitch?

  Rosalyn Rosenfeld : Don't repeat that, but yes.
