Quotes 

• Jack Malloy : Oh, it sure is tough being a father. I just wonder if I'm doing the right thing.

  Mr. Floppy : Absolutely. You saved your little girl. 'Cos guys just want one thing.

  [thinks this over] 

  Mr. Floppy : Actually, two things. They want air-conditioning too.

  [thinks this over] 

  Mr. Floppy : Actually, three things. Cable TV.

  [thinks this over] 

  Mr. Floppy : Actually, four things. Guys want to be left alone and not talked to until it's time to go to bed.

  [thinks that over] 

  Mr. Floppy : No, actually five things. They want to wake up alone in the morning so that they don't have to talk about their 'feelings.'

  [Jack laughs, and lots of time clearly elapse:] 

  Mr. Floppy : Maybe ninety-six things. A gun. A big gun.

  [nods to himself] 

  Mr. Floppy : Maybe ninety-seven things.

  [Jack raises his eyes] 

  Mr. Floppy : Did I say air-conditioning?

  Jack Malloy : [consulting a list on yellow notepad]  Yeah, you said air-conditioning. 2, 25 and 69.

  Mr. Floppy : Did you say sixty-nine?

  [thinks this over] 

  Mr. Floppy : Maybe ninety-eight things...

• Jack Malloy : [as Ryan comes home in a disheveled state]  Hi, son. Looks like you got lucky.

  Ryan Malloy : [in bad state]  She hurt me, Dad. She was a big woman. She danced on the line between pleasure and pain. And she jumped over that line.

  [starts crying] 

  Ryan Malloy : She hurt me really bad.

  [burying his head against Jack's chest, gets patted] 

  Ryan Malloy : Dad, can you get rabies from a human bite?

  Jack Malloy : [laughing, sharing the joke with Jennie]  Sounds like he had quite a time.

  [to Ryan] 

  Jack Malloy : Look, son, you don't have to make up stories for me. You didn't score, but you tried. And that's the thing that counts.

  [a paternalistic pat on the arm] 

  Ryan Malloy : [miserably]  I'd soak in a hot tub if it didn't bring back such painful memories.

  Jennie Malloy : [as Ryan dazedly staggers off up the stairs]  You know, I'm a little worried about Ryan. I know he leads an empty little life, but it's upsetting that he would lie to us.

  [there is a heavy knock on door] 

  Amazon Woman : [door is opened for husky-voiced, whip-wielding, six foot tall dominatrix in leather and chains]  Where is my little lost lamb? I wasn't finished.

  Jack Malloy : [directing her up the stairs]  Second bedroom on the left.

  Jennie Malloy : [as the tigress heads up for the kill]  Isn't that cute? Ryan finally has a little girlfriend!
