- Hope Murdoch Steadman: [in an art class, drawing a nude model] Ellyn, I'm getting that feeling.
- Ellyn Warren: What feeling?
- Hope Murdoch Steadman: You know, that giggly feeling. That preteen shopping for a training bra feeling. I mean, what does he do if...
- Ellyn Warren: [snickering together] If what?
- Hope Murdoch Steadman: You know, if he gets... tumescent.
- Ellyn Warren: Question is, what do I do?
- Hope Murdoch Steadman: I pretend I don't know you.
- Elliot Weston: You know that story? That story's mine. That was Ethan and my story. At night, at bedtime, I used to tell him these great stories about the forest and this prince, and... I mean, now that's hers.
- Michael Steadman: Well, I don't know. Can't you just talk to her about it?
- Elliot Weston: Oh, Nancy doesn't talk to you. She just snarls.
- Michael Steadman: [seeing her come in] Nancy.
- Nancy Krieger Weston: I can't believe you!
- Elliot Weston: See what I mean?
- Elliot Weston: You know, I never thought it would be possible that my sex life could get worse than it was with my wife.
- Adrienne: Men who are separated... I don't know. Sex can be so abstract. I wish I met you before you left her.
- Elliot Weston: You mean before I met her?
- Adrienne: No. If you were still with Nancy, I'd have a better idea of whether you really cared about me or whether I was just... available.
- Elliot Weston: What?
- Adrienne: There would be obstacles you'd have to get past to get to me.
- Elliot Weston: Wait, wait, wait a second. Are you saying you'd rather have sex with a married man than a divorced man?
- Adrienne: You're not divorced. You're just separated.
