Business Decisions and Personal Feelings
Apollonia:
What are we doing here, Morris?
Morris:
What do you mean?
Apollonia:
I don't wanna be here. I don't want to hurt anybody.
Morris:
It's not about hurting anybody. We open at The Taste tomorrow, don't we? This is business. We need the exposure. Anyway, you don't want to disappoint them, do you?
Apollonia:
Your horns are showing, Morris.

Tension Among Friends Over Unheard Music
Wendy:
Hi. I heard through the grapevine that you got a new tune written by a couple of great girls. Did you hear it?
Lisa:
I knew it. He didn't listen to it. He probably dropped it under his bike and rolled over it.
Wendy:
All right. You think about this. I'm gonna be totally honest with you. I think you're being full of shit.
Lisa:
Forget it, Wendy. Let's get out of here.
Wendy:
Every time we give you a song, you say you're gonna use it, but you never do. You think we're doing something behind your back. You're just being paranoid as usual.
Lisa:
Wendy.
Wendy:
Shut up, Lisa, please. You should know by now that we wouldn't hurt you. You should know by now that we wouldn't put a dark cloud over your head. It's just to make you feel good. You've felt this way with us before, remember?
The Kid: [reciting]
The nominees for best actress are....
Lisa:
Fuck it, Wendy. Let's break.
The Kid: [uses his voice through a puppet]
Why should he do your music? He's been getting along just fine without it. Next thing you know, you'll want to use his motorcycle.
Wendy:
You can really hurt people. Doesn't that mean anything to you? I mean, doesn't that make you feel like shit?
Lisa:
Come on.
Wendy: [she and Lisa head to the stage]
I'm so tired of this. I'm really tired of it.
The Kid:
You tired too?
Matt:
God got Wendy's periods reversed. About every 28 days, she starts acting nice. Lasts about a weekend.
Bobby: [opens the door as Matt and Mark exit the room]
What difference does it make, man? We're still a group, right?
