## Dialogue

    Alana Kane: [during a fight] Este, don't you even look at me! Don't you even look at me! You're always looking at me!
    Este Kane: Oh, my...
    Alana Kane: What are you doing?
    Este Kane: I didn't even say anything!
    Alana Kane: What are you doing? What are you thinking, huh? "I'm Este. I work for mom and dad. I'm perfect! I'm a real estate agent. Alana doesn't have her life together. Alana brings home stupid boyfriends all the time."
    Este Kane: I mean...
    Alana Kane: I knew it! I knew that was what you were thinking. You're always thinking things, you thinker! You thinker! You think things!
    Jon Peters: How big is your penis hole?
    Gary Valentine: ...normal-sized?
    Jon Peters: How do you know that?
    Alana Kane: What does your penis look like?
    Lance Brannigan: What?
    Alana Kane: What does your penis look like?
    Lance Brannigan: Like a regular penis, I guess.
    Alana Kane: Is it circumcised?
    Lance Brannigan: Yeah...
    Alana Kane: Then you're a fucking Jew!
    Gary Valentine: You say everything twice.
    Alana Kane: I don't say everything twice! What is this, say everything twice?
    Matthew: Do you have a boyfriend?
    Alana Kane: Yes and no. I don't know.
    Matthew: Is he a shit?
    Alana Kane: Yeah. Yeah.
    Matthew: They're all shits, aren't they?
    Alana Kane: You don't even know what's going on in the world. You think that the world revolves around Gary Valentine and whatever stupid shit you come up with.
    Gary Valentine: It does.
    Alana Kane: No it doesn't.
    Gary Valentine: Yes, it does.
    Alana Kane: I'm cooler than you. Don't forget it.
    Gary Valentine: I don't need you to tell me whether I'm cool or not, old lady.
    Alana Kane: What was that?
    Gary Valentine: I said "milady".
    Jon Peters: My only problem in life is that I love tail too much. I love it. I love it so much. I love it so much. Is that your sister?
    Gary Valentine: No.
    Jon Peters: It's your girlfriend?
    Gary Valentine: No.
    Jon Peters: I love it so much, it's gonna kill me one day. You know how much tail I get?
    Gary Valentine: No.
    Jon Peters: All of it. It's all mine.
    Alana Kane: Stop.
    Gary Valentine: What?
    Alana Kane: I can hear you breathing. Stop.
    Gary Valentine: Breathing?
    Alana Kane: Yes.
    Alana Kane: Are you asking me out?
    Gary Valentine: Yes.
    Alana Kane: I'm not going on a date with you, you're twelve.
    Gary Valentine: You're funny. I'm fifteen.
    Gary Valentine: Hello, gorgeous.
    Alana Kane: Hello, handsome.
    Gary Valentine: Come here often?
    Alana Kane: No, 'cause I'm not a teenager. I'm selling earrings for my friend JoJo.
    Gary Valentine: Is your bottom soggy? Having trouble sleeping?
    Alana Kane: Well, now that you mention it...
    Gary Valentine: Boyfriend trouble?
    Alana Kane: No boyfriend. So I don't really have trouble.
    Gary Valentine: Well, that's good.
    Alana Kane: [on the phone] What's your name?
    Waterbed Ted: Uh, Ted.
    Alana Kane: Ted.
    Waterbed Ted: Yes.
    Alana Kane: Oh, Ted, I love that name.
    Waterbed Ted: Okay...
    Alana Kane: My name's Alana.
    Waterbed Ted: Hi, Alana.
    Alana Kane: Can I come and install the bed for you?
    Waterbed Ted: What?
    Alana Kane: I'd lay it down and show you how it works. It moves in a similar way to the ocean... wet inside. And it takes some getting used to, but once you're in there, oh, Ted, I don't think you're gonna be asking any questions.
    Waterbed Ted: Sounds like you just sold a waterbed, Alana. Tell me, what time can you be over with that bed?
    Alana Kane: Oh, well. Eager. I have to wait until my work is done.
    Waterbed Ted: Oh, yeah?
    Alana Kane: Yeah. I have a mean, old boss that makes me work all day.
    Waterbed Ted: Why don't you tell Fat Bernie you have work to do and get out of there?
    Alana Kane: Oh. Fat Bernie is so mean, Ted.
    Waterbed Ted: Sounds like it.
    Alana Kane: He keeps me locked up inside. But you know what, Ted?
    Waterbed Ted: What's that?
    Alana Kane: I know you're gonna love our wet beds. You know what they come with?
    Waterbed Ted: What's that?
    Alana Kane: A wood headboard. And that wood is strong and sticks straight up against the wall.
    Waterbed Ted: That sounds great.
