Melissa Steadman : Don't waste your time being angry with Gary. Trust me, it's like getting upset about continental drift.
Michael Steadman : No, I'm not angry with him.
Melissa Steadman : Then you're angry at Emily?
Michael Steadman : I'm not angry at anybody. You know, what right do I have to be angry?
Melissa Steadman : Michael, you can't hide from the shadow. I know that clenched look. I've known it since the 1964 World's Fair when they told you you couldn't live with the happy robot family on the GE Carousel of Progress.
Michael Steadman : What are you talking about?
Melissa Steadman : I'm talking about how you hate being caught thinking something you're not supposed to be thinking or wanting something you're not supposed to want.
Michael Steadman : Thank you. Is there a couch here? Maybe we could set up a regular time.

Elliot Weston : How come I never met her?
Michael Steadman : Uh, she's, uh... she went to England her sophomore year. We've been writing back and forth. She's only been back in the country two, four years now.
Elliot Weston : You've been trysting through the mail for 15 years?
Michael Steadman : Oh, it wasn't a tryst. She's my friend.
Elliot Weston : Your girlfriend.
Michael Steadman : She wasn't my girlfriend.
Elliot Weston : And you get to have her sleep over at your house. I really ought to kill you.

Elliot Weston : I'm excited to meet somebody who witnessed your puberty from the ground level. Is she gonna be in time for Janey's party?
Michael Steadman : Um... yes. She'll be there.
Elliot Weston : Great. Great.
Michael Steadman : But you won't.
Elliot Weston : Great. Great. No, I understand. I do. I mean, the kids, right? I mean, i-it's better that Nancy be there. I mean, you have to assure domestic tranquility. I mean, I can grasp the situation. I really can. I'll just go down to the mission with the rest of the forgotten men.
Michael Steadman : I want you to know that this awkwardness doesn't change the true nature of our friendship. You're still expected to buy my daughter a present.
Elliot Weston : I was gonna pay for her college education. Now I'll just fob her off with some Colorforms.
