Curiosity About Attraction and Personalities

Cynthia Morales: No, no, no, let me ask you something, Weiss. Do you actually get women like this? I was really curious if there were actually women out there in the world who walk by the construction lunch break which is your very personality and say: "Oh, yeah, please. Baby, give it to me. Give me some of that hard hat, right here, right now." There are actually women like that?

Alan Weiss: A couple.

Confessions of Jealousy and Affection

Anna Foster: Ben. Can you ever just say what you really feel?

Ben Calder: Okay, all right! Because I'm jealous as hell. Because I'd hate to see you with Gus Gus. I'd hate to see you with any other man. Because not only did I adore kissing you in Venice, but also because I'm so un-bloody-hinged just being near you.

Attraction and Denial in Berlin Adventure

Anna Foster: You have a little thing for me, huh?

Ben Calder: I'll stop you there. I do not have a thing for you, okay, little or otherwise.

Anna Foster: [pause] Why did you get on the train with me to Berlin, then? Mm-hmm.

Ben Calder: Okay, you know what, you're right. I'm strangely attracted to exhibitionist runaways. It's an addiction, really. I was in a program for a while where we had to spend time with fully-clothed home-bodies, but I've relapsed, again.

Sharing Stickers for a Global Community

Anna Foster: As soon as this train stops, we're going to go our separate directions.

McGruff: Hey, chilly-willy, Squabblers, take a few of these on your solo travels then.

Ben Calder: What are these? Six-Million-Dollar Man stickers?

McGruff: These stickers are my contribution to the global community. Everyone I meet gets a handful. Your job: post them up! Pound one on a door, slap one on a kiosk, place one on a postbox, wherever your life may lead you.

Anna Foster: And then what?

McGruff: Then, nothing. You forget about the sticker, you move on. One day, maybe you're a little down in the dregs, and all of a sudden, there it is! The corner of a window, the door of a subway, the side of a telephone booth, one of the stickers. And it puts a smile of your face because you know you are not alone in the world; we're all connected.

Ben Calder: Wanker.

A Father's Interference Ruins a Date

Anna Foster: Dad! Way to go. I can't believe you had that restaurant swarming with all of your secret servants. You ruined my date! And now, I'm going to die before I ever get to third base... I mean second base.

President James Foster: Anna?

Anna Foster: I'll talk to you about this later.

President James Foster: No, no. Stay. Pull up a chair. We were just discussing the G8 Summit in Prague, how to best persuade the EU leaders to adopt our plan for distributing humanitarian aid and medical technology to developing nations, but you had a bad date, so we should probably focus on that.

Anna Foster: No, no, no, I'm so sorry to have interrupted. Excuse me.

President James Foster: So third base is what again?

President James Foster: Glad I asked.
