Quotes edit
-
“I haven't a clue what you're talking about, Soph, but your apartment is that way." He motioned behind her. "Well, hell. Who moved my building?”
Cord Pruitt & Sophie Campbell -
“You scared the hell out of me." "I scared you?" "You had a ton of food, you know. A ton. I thought the wine would help you calm down. When we first left, I could see how shaken up you were by the break-in. And you only had half the bottle. It was just wine. After all that food. I take it you don't normally drink." "Is this your way of apologizing for getting me drunk?”
Cord & Sophie -
“I get the left side." "We could flip a coin for it." "Or you could give in." "Or I could give in,”
Sophie & Cord -
“What's wrong?" "I found something. Something not good." "What?" "I'll tell you. Right away. But first sit down. I"m looking for whiskey or scotch or something." "Another drinking night?" "For you, not me. I just made myself tea.”
Cord & Sophie -
“I'm wondering, why I didn't realize how beautiful you were when I first met you." "Because you were sober then?”
Cord & Sophie -
“You know what I do realize?" "That we're going to be kicked out of this bar?”
Cord & Sophie -
“I know we closed that door." "He can open it." "How? He's a damned cat!" "He lifts up and turns the knob." "I'm not into sharing," "Um... does that mean he can't sleep on the bed?" "It means that nobody, but nobody, is sleeping between us.”
Cord & Sophie -
“You can't be perky this early in the morning." "It's one of my faults," "What a shame. I thought our relationship could last a little longer, but now I'll have to give you up.”
Cord & Sophie -
“I don't kiss without brushing my teeth," "Oh, so now you give me the rules?" "And I get the shower first." "I should have known. The greedy, selfish side was bound to show up eventually. I've been waiting for it. What's the rest of the bad news?”
Sophie & Cord -
“You needed more hell, did you?”
Cord -
“Now, I know you're really here. Only you can cook like this." "I'll give Pruitt credit for one more thing. He didn't even blink when I told him I was going shopping for real food in the middle of the night- on his credit card.”
