Quotes 

• Joe Morrison : This turned out to be one hell of a free vacation.

• Coreen Bradford : You know, when I met you on the boat, I didn't like you very much.

  Joe Morrison : That's not exactly a surprise.

  Coreen Bradford : Well, I don't know, I guess I just thought you were one of those macho phony types, you know? The kind whose brains fall out every time he unzips his fly.

• Joe Morrison : I've got a job that pays $30,000 a year. I've got a two-bedroom condominium, I've got a $10,000 sports car, I've got a wife, and I've got a four year-old kid - thinks I'm God. How's that?

  Coreen Bradford : That's terrific. Fabulous. Look, I was just trying to tell you that I've changed my mind about not liking you. That's all.

  Joe Morrison : Hmph. Forget it. I'm a 'bad' investment.

  Coreen Bradford : And why do you say that?

  Joe Morrison : Because the, um... $30,000 a year job went in the toilet last year. And the sports car needs an overhaul. And my 'wife' is an ex-wife who is, uh, doing me for back support. My kid won't even talk to me on the phone.

  Coreen Bradford : What about your condominium?

  Joe Morrison : [Clinks his plastic drink cup with his fingernail]  It's plastic. Just like everything else.
