Lucy McFadden
- Elliot Garfield: Lady Anne! Lady Anne! The black prince is dead! England is yours! You don't want England? How about Spain? Spain I can get you cheap.
- Elliot Garfield: What are you doing in that thing?
- Elliot Garfield: Come on, let's get going, will ya? This horse has got a meter on it.
- Lucy McFadden: Where to?
- Elliot Garfield: We're going home! To Tara! Come on! Cynthia Fine, right? I think you've got charisma, too.
- Cynthia Fine: Lucy, did you tell him? I never said anything like that. I'm going to get you for that, Lucy, you big creep.
- Elliot Garfield: You want to go to my opening tonight? I owe you a good time after the last one.
- Lucy McFadden: I have homework.
- Elliot Garfield: What are you sore about? Me and your mom?
- Lucy McFadden: It's none of my business. Why should I be sore?
- Elliot Garfield: Yeah, well, since you and I are exchanging bedrooms tonight, I kinda think it is, but I'm a little old fashioned. I'd like to have your approval.
- Lucy McFadden: Me? I'm only ten years old. I'm not even old enough to vote yet.
- Elliot Garfield: I like your style, kid, I really do. Oh, I'm sorry, I hear you don't like to be called kid.
- Lucy McFadden: I'm a kid. It fits.
- Elliot Garfield: Do you like me?
- Lucy McFadden: Ask Cynthia Fine. She's crazy about you.
- Elliot Garfield: Lucy, do you like me?
- Lucy McFadden: You're wasting your money because I'm really not enjoying this ride.
- Elliot Garfield: Lucy, I'm going to keep asking you until you answer me. Do you like me?
- Lucy McFadden: Do you mind if I get off? I think I'm getting nauseous.
- Elliot Garfield: Answer my question, goddamn it. Lucy, it makes no difference to me one way or the other because I'm moving in with your old lady but I want to hear it from your own lips. Now answer me. Yes or no, do you like me?
- Lucy McFadden: No... yes.
- Elliot Garfield: A really, really, really lot?
- Lucy McFadden: Yes, yes, alright?
- Elliot Garfield: Okay, but as much as you like me, it's not 1/1000th as much as I'm crazy about you. You can cry all over yourself. I don't care. I am certifiably nuts about you. You and your ditsy mom. So blow that into your handkerchief.
- Lucy McFadden: You know what Cynthia Fine said?
- Paula McFadden: Who is Cynthia Fine?
- Lucy McFadden: The girl in my class with the braces and the big chest. Anyway, Elliot picked me up from school today, and Cynthia says he's got charisma. I looked it up, and he does.
- Paula McFadden: All right, cut it out.
- Lucy McFadden: Cut what out?
- Paula McFadden: Stop trying to make something between us.
- Lucy McFadden: Me? Cynthia Fine s...
- Paula McFadden: Cynthia Fine, my behind. Stop pushing me.
- Lucy McFadden: Who's pushing?
- Paula McFadden: You are. Your fingerprints are all over my back. He's okay, all right? Once in a while, he even acts like a regular human being, but stop pushing me because that man is not my type.
- Lucy McFadden: [mutters something under her breath]
- Paula McFadden: I heard that. What did you say?
- Lucy McFadden: If you heard, why are you asking?
- Paula McFadden: [sternly] What did you say?
- Lucy McFadden: I said, "Your type never hangs around long enough to stay your type".
- Paula McFadden: That is a rotten thing to say.
- Lucy McFadden: [matter of factly] I know. I just felt like saying it.
- Paula McFadden: Jesus. Sometimes I can be so goddamn furious with you.
- Paula McFadden: [squirts Lucy with a bottle of cream]
- Lucy McFadden: [yelling] That was a stinking thing to do!
- Lucy McFadden: [With Elliot at the dinner table] You're terrific with words. You always pick the right ones.
- Elliot Garfield: Words are the canvas of an actor. His lips are his brushes and his tongue, the colors of the spectrum. And when he speaks, he paints portraits.
- Lucy McFadden: [Impressed] Classy! He's very classy!
- Lucy McFadden: [hears Elliot chanting] What's that?
- Paula McFadden: Sounds like God.
- Lucy McFadden: I smell strawberries burning.
- Paula McFadden: That's incense.
- Lucy McFadden: What's incense?
- Paula McFadden: It is what I'm feeling right now.
- Lucy McFadden: Congratulations.
- Elliot Garfield: For what?
- Lucy McFadden: I didn't know what else to say.
- Lucy McFadden: [watching Elliot's performance as a gay Richard III] Looks like the guy at the beauty parlor.
- [after finding out the play has closed]
- Elliot Garfield: That's O.K., Now I'm free to take that other job.
- Lucy McFadden: What other job?
- Elliot Garfield: I'm looking, I'm looking!
- Paula McFadden: You have homework to do.
- Lucy McFadden: We're moving in four days. Do I have to do homework?
- Paula McFadden: Suppose between now and Friday they teach brain surgery. I wouldn't want you to miss it.
- Lucy McFadden: [in an exasperated tone] Mother! We had it last week. Science.
- Paula McFadden: Are you serious?
- Lucy McFadden: Dumb! You know, you're dumb.
- Paula McFadden: [laughing] Well, I thought maybe in frog dissection. What do I know?
- Paula McFadden: [angrily] Good night.
- Lucy McFadden: What, no kiss?
- Paula McFadden: [punching her pillow] I'm angry. I don't want to lose it.
- [when Lucy is sick]
- Lucy McFadden: How's the play going?
- Elliot Garfield: Shh. One sick person at a time.
- Paula McFadden: Possession is nine-tenths of the law.
- Lucy McFadden: What's the last tenth?
- Paula McFadden: Shut up.
- [the telephone rings]
- Lucy McFadden: Is that the last tenth?
- Elliot Garfield: [checking on Lucy, who is sick from eating too much ice cream] How's it feelin', Luce?
- Lucy McFadden: [groaning] Did you see The Exorcist?
- Elliot Garfield: [chuckles] Yeah.
- Lucy McFadden: Then you better get out of the room.
- Lucy McFadden: Does this mean we're not going to California?
- Paula McFadden: [sobbing] Yeah!
- Lucy McFadden: [Paula runs into the next room and collapses onto the bed, still weeping] That means I have to do my homework, right?
- Lucy McFadden: [reading Tony's letter] "I told you when we first moved in here that it was never going to be permanent. Christ, I'm not even divorced from Patty yet." Who's Patty?
- Paula McFadden: Um, I told you about her.
- Lucy McFadden: No, you didn't.
- Paula McFadden: Well, I though you'd be upset if you knew you were living with a married man.
- Lucy McFadden: I wasn't living with him. You were. I was in the next room.
- Lucy McFadden: [reading Tony's letter] "It's six months' shooting in Spain and Italy. It's a hell of a part, Paula, and I want it. I broke my ass"...
- Paula McFadden: Ah! Give me that!
- Lucy McFadden: Ass. I've heard the word before.
- Lucy McFadden: [reading Tony's letter] "You'll be all right. You can always go back to dancing."
- Paula McFadden: Dancing? I'm 33! I can hardly walk anymore.
