  Iona : Talk about lips. I mean, I'm old enough to be his mother, but when the Duck laid that kiss on me last night, I swear to God, my thighs just went up in flames! He must practice on melons or something.

• Andie : I don't know what I'm doing!

  Iona : Wishful make-upping!

• Iona : Andie, hon. Listen, it's after 7:00. Don't waste good lip gloss.

• Andie : Okay. Make my day. I want all the gory details. The mingling breath, the pounding heart, the steamy windows. I want the whole scoop.

  Iona : Well, I hate to disappoint you, but nothing happened.

  Iona : Nothing?

  Andie : Well, not nothing. I mean, I kissed him.

  Iona : Anywhere interesting?

  Andie : Oh, please.

• Iona : I'm good in bed. Should I be a whore?

• Iona : You wanna try it on? I bet it'd look great on you! I mean, your butt is 15 years younger than mine. I mean, I used to have a great butt. I did, I loved my butt! I wish I had photographs of it. You wanna try this on?

• Iona : Oh, why can't we start old and get younger? I envy you. I really *envy* you!

  Andie : Iona, you're gonna OD on nostalgia.

• Iona : He's a yuppie; but, he's *so* nice. He's employed. He's heterosexual. I swear to God, I'm so far ahead of the game, next time you see me, I'll probably be picking out my china patterns.

• Iona : Love is awful, isn't it?

• Iona : Oh, Shit! why can't i do this?

  Andie : You have to hit the subtotal button I keep telling you that.
