-
Jack Malloy : Sweetheart, she'll be gone faster than a man at a K.D. Lang concert.

Tiffany Malloy : Daddy, I need to speak to you privately please.
Jack Malloy : [as he follows her, muttering:] Why does everybody always want to speak to me privately when I'm eating or drinking or sleeping, why can't they just call me at work when I'm doing nothing?
[sits down next to Tiffany on couch]
Tiffany Malloy : Daddy, I want her out of here.
Jack Malloy : I want her out of here too, she's been killing me for twenty years.
Tiffany Malloy : No, Daddy, I'm talking about Sable.
Jack Malloy : Oh.
-
Ryan Malloy : Hey, Dad! Dad! Wait! Wait! Can I talk to you a minute?
Jack Malloy : No, I'm busy. I've got to do something for Tiffany.
Ryan Malloy : Well, Dad, I'm just as important as Tiffany.
[Jack bursts out laughing at this ridiculous concept]

Jack Malloy : [muttering to himself, arriving at apartment] Man, I hope this old bat doesn't have a temper. Yeah, right, she's a woman, they never have tempers.
[knocks]
Jack Malloy : Not home, too bad. Well, I'll just stick this little note under her door.
[bends down, door opens, he gazes upwards mesmerized over long bare legs, short black dress, ample cleavage, fixing on that]
Morgana : [speaking down] Hello. Hello.
[impatiently:]
Morgana : Hello!
Jack Malloy : [from kneeling position] Hello.
Morgana : [instantly welcoming] I'm Morgana. Come on in.
Jack Malloy : Uh, don't you wanna know who I am, or what I'm doing here?
Morgana : [very sure of herself] Not really, but I'm sure we'll get around to it.

Tiffany Malloy : Now, I want you to march over to Sable's house, and tell her mother that... that mothers and daughters need to spend time together.
Jennie Malloy : [calling to her] Tiffany, would you like to help me cut the cake?
Tiffany Malloy : [fake smile] I'll be right there.
[annoyed, to Jack:]
Tiffany Malloy : Uh, she's so needy.
Jack Malloy : Mm.
Tiffany Malloy : Daddy, if you don't do it, I'm just going to have to do this.
[pouts]
Jack Malloy : Oh no... not... not... not the pouty lip. And not the Bambi eyes.
[Tiffany does both]
Jack Malloy : All right, all right, I'll... I'll do it.

Mr. Floppy : Is this girl like you'd expect for Ryan?
Jack Malloy : Oh no, she's a real knockout.
Mr. Floppy : [with irony] Well, Jack, I trust your taste. You're the chick-meister.
[dripping sarcasm:]
Mr. Floppy : We've all seen the missus.
-
Jack Malloy : I didn't want the woman! She scared the hell out of me! I mean, what if I was no good? I'd rather think I can than know I can't, you know what I mean?
[Mr. Floppy nods]
Jack Malloy : Imagine how hard it would be to have a fantasy if you know you stink. No, sir, I'd rather keep the lie alive.
[dramatic gesture with balled fist:]
Jack Malloy : Keep the lie alive!
[smiles]
Jack Malloy : Mr. Floppy, I'm hanging up my party jeans.

Jack Malloy : [re Sable] Hey, who's that? She seems like a very nice girl.
Tiffany Malloy : I hate her.
Jack Malloy : I hate her too.
