Memorable Quotes

Alicia: Say it again, it keeps me awake.

Devlin: I love you.

Alicia: This is a very strange love affair.

Devlin: Why?

Alicia: Maybe the fact that you don't love me.

[driving while drunk]

Alicia: How am I doing?

Devlin: Not bad.

Alicia: Scared?

Devlin: No.

Alicia: No... no, you're not scared of anything, are you?

[the car nearly swerves off-road]

Devlin: [correcting himself] Not too much!

Devlin: Don't you need a coat?

Alicia: You'll do.

Alicia: There's nothing like a love song to give you a good laugh.

Alicia: Don't ever leave me.

Devlin: You'll never get rid of me again.

Alicia: Never tried to.

Alicia: Well, you never believed in me anyways. So what's the difference?

Devlin: It's lucky for both of us that I didn't. It wouldn't have been pretty if I'd believed in you. If I'd figured, she'll never be able to go through with it, she's been made over by love.

Alicia: If you only once had said that you loved me. Oh, Dev.

Devlin: Listen, you've chalked up another boyfriend, that's all. No harm done.

Alicia: I hate you.

Devlin: There's no occasion to, you're doing good work.

Alicia: I'm terrified.

Devlin: Just pretend you're a janitor. Janitors are never terrified.

Alicia: I have a feeling they're very slow.

Alicia: This fog gets me.

Devlin: That's your hair in your eyes.

Devlin: [after being caught kissing Alicia at the party] I knew her before you, loved her before you, only I'm not as lucky as you...

[Alicia and Devlin meet on a bench in the city]

Devlin: What's new?

Alicia: Oh, nothing. What's new with you?

Devlin: Nothing.

Devlin: A man doesn't tell a woman what to do. She tells herself.

Alicia: Well, did you hear that? I'm practically on the wagon, that's quite a change.

Devlin: It's a phase.

Alicia: You don't think a woman can change?

Devlin: Sure, change is fun, for awhile.
