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!
