The Distinct Smell of Red (2001)

Guilford Adams: Vernon

Quotes 

• Vernon : Normally I don't go for women with red hair. They tend to have a peculiar smell, you know? It's hard to define, but in the back of your mind you know something's not right. I don't want to say it's a bad odor, just different.

• Vernon : Redheads are okay, but sometimes a little variety is good for the soul, don't you think?

• Vernon : You ever try going blond? I bet you'd make a pretty good blond, you know. You might not look as innocent as Alice, but then again, you're not seven, either.

• Vernon : Love is easy, but that doesn't mean it comes around all the time.

• Vernon : It's no big deal. I do it all the time. I like giving away flowers, you know? Besides, you happen to be the prettiest girl I've seen today.

• Vernon : You should see her. She's beautiful. Even better than a supermodel.

• Vernon : Did I tell you about her lips? Suffice it to say, she had a great pair of lips.

• Vernon : You know, they have about sixty-three kinds of coffee here. With about forty-two different things to put in it. And you just get a regular coffee.

• Vernon : You shake hands good. You've got a nice, tender grip, you know? Some guys think it makes them a man to squeeze your hand off. I hate that. When a guy tries to strangle my hand, I just let mine go limp.

• Vernon : Romeo and Juliet, I think they were in love. They may have been blinded by it, but that's better than missing it altogether, don't you think?
