Maybe I should thank someone else. Someone who's really been there, someone who taught me a lot, about poetry and Shakespeare, and just, y'know, stayin awake, man. Someone who's just an overall great guy, a great teacher... to Howard Brackett from Greenleaf, Indiana! And he's gay.

Cruella's Nostalgia and Fur Obsession
Cruella De Vil
It’s smaller than I remember.
Alonzo
I k-kept everything just as you l-left it.
Cruella De Vil
Oh, come, Fluffy. We’ll share a bath. An interminable soak scented with lavender and a drop of Sumatran… Never mind. I think I’ll enjoy doing a little dusting. Oh, Fluffy, a bath… Followed by a nap submerged in feather pillows and satin-- Alonzo! Fur! It's everywhere! Lock them away! Bury them beyond sight and memory!
[Fluffy growls; gasps, then starts tsking; she opens the door, suddenly screams, throwing Fluffy to Alonzo; starts panting]

Roberta

Struggles of Partnership and Recognition in Marriage
Joe Castleman
Listen, Joanie. Listen, there is nothing horrible, or shameful, or immoral about what we do. We're writing partners. And as we've created a beautiful body of work together...
[fixes himself a drink]
Joan Castleman
You edit, Joe. That's all you do. I'm the one who sits at that desk eight hours a day.
Joe Castleman
Is that the way you see it? Really? What, all these years, you've been sitting in some giant store of resentment? And what about all the years I've been uh, rubbing your back, bringing you tea, cooking you dinner, watching the kids so you could work without distraction? You don't think that with times when it killed me, that you were the one with the golden touch? You think I wake up every morning feeling even remotely proud of myself? But have I ever said "I'm done with this marriage. I'm walking away?
Joan Castleman
No, you had affairs.
Joe Castleman
Oh God... And I've regretted every fucking one of them!
[sighs]
Joan Castleman
Oh, yeah, right. You'd sob in my lap, and you'd beg me to forgive you, and I always would because, you know, somehow you convinced me that my talent made you do it.
Joe Castleman
Oh, shit...
[sighs]
Joan Castleman
And then when I was too angry or too furious or too hurt to write you it, give me one of your famous back rubs and you'd say "Use it, Joanie. Use it.
Joe Castleman
I never said that.
Joan Castleman
Oh, yes you did.
Joan Castlemann
Yes you did! Lucky for me I had somewhere to put it. I mean, critics love the image of Sylvia Fry, you know, scrubbing the tear stains out of her dress. They just love that, another Castleman masterpiece. Your chest had swelled when you read me those reviews. It actually swelled. And rather than being outraged, and rather than thinking about what this all was doing to our kids, I would watch you and I'd say "Oh my God, how can I - how can I capture that - that behaviour? How can I put all that in words?" And you know what? I did. I did right here. Right here. Yeah, another Castleman masterpiece. Oh, and uh, let's see. Uh, this one I wrote after you screwed uh, who was it? Oh yeah, our third nanny!
[walks over to a small shelf of Castleman books; takes out a book; throws it on the ground; throws it on the ground]
Joe Castleman
God. This book has nothing at all to do with the fucking nanny!
[picking up the books]
Joan Castleman
Oh, yes it did. It's on every single page.
Joe Castleman
These are my stories. My culture, my family, my ideas!
Joan Castleman
My words! My pain! My spending hours alone in that room turning your appalling behaviour into literary gold!
[furiously throwing all the books on the ground]
Joe Castleman
What compelling ideas did you ever fucking have?! You were nothing but a privilege, prissy little co-ed! The only decent story you ever wrote alone was about Carol! You stole from my life even then!
Joan Castleman
Shame on you, Joe.
[pause. Tearfully turning away]
Joe Castleman
You loved holding up in the village with the big bad Jew, huh? You loved making your parents skirm. You got the literary life, and the house by the sea, hm? You loved getting the nice clothes and the travel and all the privileges without ever having to marry some schmuck from a brokerage firm! You got it all, my girl!
Joan Castleman
Well, you can have it back. I don't want it.
Joe Castleman
What are you doing?
Joan Castleman
I'm uh, spend the night in David's room and then when I get home, I'm gonna call a lawyer.
Joe Castleman
This is ridiculous. Joanie, we got kids, hm? We got a grandchild. We've got friends we've known for years who are gonna start dying on us one by one. Where you gonna be, hm? You're gonna be living alone feeling brave? Is that what you want? Joanie, don't walk away from me-- DON'T WALK AWAY FROM ME, GODDAMMIT!
Joan Castleman
Don't touch me!
Joe Castleman
Don't touch you?! Joanie, we gotta talk this through!
Joan Castleman
I can't do it anymore, Joe. I can't do it. I can't take it. I can't take the humiliation of holding your coat and arranging your pills, and picking the crumbs out of your beard, and being shoved aside with all the other wives to talk about some goddamn shopping trip, while you, while you say to all the, the gathering sycophants, that your wife doesn't write?! Your wife! Who just won the Nobel Prize?!
Joe Castleman
So, if I'm such an insensitive and talentless fucking piece of shit. Why the fuck did you marry me? Hm?
Joan Castleman
Oh God, Joe...
[tearfully laughs]
Joe Castleman
No, I really wanna know. Why did you marry me?
Joan Castleman
... I don't know. I can't think anymore...
[tearfully]

Planning a Crime: The Mind of a Monster
Thomas Krasny
He told you, didn't he? He told you! What did he do? Did he phone you? Send you anonymous notes?
Teddy Barnes
You'll stop at nothing, won't you? Anyone could've sent those notes; everyone knew—the police in Santa Cruz knew, people in your office knew!
Thomas Krasny
Bullshit! Don't you understand what he did? He did the identical crime eighteen months before he murdered his wife! He knew it would get him off the hook! He knew Bobby Slade was seeing his wife! That's why he did the first crime in Santa Cruz! He threw us Bobby Slade as a suspect! He picked that woman very carefully! He knew she played tennis with Slade! He planned this for eighteen months! He is not a psychopath! He is an iceman. He is a monster.

Accusations of Smoking Among Family Members
David Castleman
What? What?
[short pause]
Joe Castleman
You've been smoking pot.
[realising]
David Castleman
No I haven't.
Joe Castleman
Yes you have! I can... You reek of it!
[grabs David by the arm, he hits it away]
Joan Castleman
Joe, calm down.
Joe Castleman
No, no, no, no. Look at him. Oh my God, the kid's completely stoned!
David Catleman
Oh, I guess I'm a real embarrassment to you, huh, pop?
Joe Castleman
What kind of hostile crap is that?
Joan Castleman
Joe. David, what's going on?
[sighs]
David Catleman
I don't know, mom. I'm trying to figure out if I've been worshipping at the wrong parental shrine.
Joe Castleman
What the hell are you talking about? What are you talking about?! Oh my God, the kid's in a mess. What are we gonna do with him?
[pause]
David Castleman
Nope, I'm not a pronoun, pop. I'm standing right here.
Joe Castleman
Well than talk to me for Christ's sake!
Joan Castleman
Don't shout at him.
Joe Castleman
Yes, I will! We're late! We're supposed to be in the limo, and already he's spoiling my night with his fucking bullshit--
David Castleman
Is it?!
Joe Castleman
Is it what?!
David Castleman
Your night?! Because according to your biographer this could all be some brilliant fraud.
Joe Castleman
What biographer?
David Castleman
That guy on the plane, with the glasses and the hair. Andy Warol with--
Joan Castleman
Nathaniel Bone?! He's not my fucking biographer! What are you talking about?!
David Castleman
Well, he was in the bar last night.
Joan Castleman
What did he say to you?
David Castleman
He said that I shouldn't measure myself against my venerable father's success because there is in fact a theory, that you, my mother, the real genius of the family.
Joan Castleman
That's ridiculous.
David Castleman
Why would he make such a twisted thing up?
Joe Castleman
David, he's out to get me, cause I won't authorise his hack-job on my life. Don't be an idiot, David.
David Castleman
I'm not an idiot!
Joe Castleman
All right.
David Castleman
Why would you call me that?!
Joe Castleman
Okay, calm down.
David Castleman
But of course, if what he said is true, than I really really would be a fucking idiot wouldn't I?!
Joe Castleman
David, look I hate to state the obvious, but I think the pot is making you paranoid.
David Castleman
I'm not fucking paranoid!
Joan Castleman
David, Nathaniel Bone is an insidious man. He had no business saying those kinds of things to you.
David Castleman
He said you had a drink with him too. Did you?
Joan Castleman
I did. He approached me in the lobby, I thought it would be unwise to rebuff him.
David Castleman
He said that you confessed.
Joan Castleman
Confessed what?
David Castleman
He said that you ghost write dad's books.
Joan Castleman
I never said that!
David Castleman
Do you?
[short pause]
Joan Castleman
No, David, I do not.
David Castleman
I don't believe you...
[tearfully]
Joan Castleman
Well, darling, I can't make you believe me. You know, you have to decide what you believe yourself.
Joe Castleman
David, it's all lies. It's fucking outrageous.
David Castleman
Dad, why were you always closing the door on me, huh? With her inside? When I was young? What the fuck was she doing in there?
Joe Castleman
What are you talking about?
David Castleman
The fucking door to your office! It was always being slammed in my face with her inside!
Joe Castleman
Your mother was proofreading.
David Castleman
Proofreading?!
Joe Castleman
Uh-huh.
David Castleman
I don't fucking believe you! You asked mom "Who the hell is Sylvia Fry?!" You don't even know who your fucking characters are!
Joe Castleman
All right, now that's enough now, David--
David Castleman
No, fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck you! You enslaved my mother!
[grabs his father by the coat, pushes him to the wall]
Joe Castleman
David! David! No, David!
Joan Castleman
Stop it, David! David! Calm down. Your father doesn't control me.
David Castleman
It's all so fucked up...
[calming down, tearfully]

Controversial Choices in Unconventional Motherhood
Jenny Fields
Where was I?
[while telling Dean Bodger and her son about his father, who was a brain damaged WW2 veteran with spontaneous erections she was the nurse of]
T. S. Garp
He kept having erections.
Jenny Fields
Thank you. He was dying. I wanted a child. It was a good way to have one without the bother of a husband around... who had legal rights to my body. So, one night at work... when the wounded and maimed were all asleep, I went to him. He was asleep. But his erection was there, as always. I removed my undergarments and climbed on top of him. He woke up then. He said the only word other than his name that I ever heard him utter. He said, "good." It didn't take very long, and that once was all that was needed.
Dean Bodger
You raped him! You raped a dying man!

Alonzo
Yes. How much?
Cruella de Vil
Dipstick, she called him. What fiendish justice! He escaped me, but I shall wreak my vengeance on the next generation.
Alonzo
