Quotes 

• Rebecca Howe : Sam.

  Sam Malone : Oh, hi.

  Rebecca Howe : I wanted to thank you for your discretion.

  Sam Malone : What do you mean?

  Rebecca Howe : Well, not telling Robin about us was one thing, but not telling all those goons out there, I know that was a real sacrifice.

  Sam Malone : Nah, no big deal.

  Rebecca Howe : Yes it is. I know how much you love to crow to all your friends about your great romantic encounters.

  Sam Malone : Rebecca, believe me, it was nothing.

• Sam Malone : What I can't figure out is why I don't want to tell any of my friends. No, that's not true, I do want to, but I can't. Why? That's... maybe it was such a let down that I didn't feel like bragging about it. Or maybe it was not a let down and I was ticked because she dumped me as soon as her boyfriend walked in. Or maybe she's right, I'm trying to get her back in the sack again. I don't know. God, I just, I'm just a simple guy trying to deal with this complex problem. Or maybe I'm a complex guy trying to deal with a simple problem. I don't know. What do you think Father?

  Father Barry : Am I to understand you had relations with a woman who is not your wife?

  Sam Malone : Yes, that's, ah, that's correct Father. Ah, what do I need to do?

  Father Barry : Say three Hail Marys, four Our Fathers, and nine Rosaries.

  Sam Malone : Thank you, Father. Nine Rosaries - that's a lot.

  Father Barry : We're cracking down.

• Rebecca Howe : You have been after me for three years. And you finally got me. I mean, if I was even adequate, I know that you would have run out there and told every bozo in the bar.

  Sam Malone : You don't think I wasn't dying to do that. It was making me crazy. It's just that I thought I'd be betraying our friendship. I never really had a friend before.

  Rebecca Howe : You have lots of friends.

  Sam Malone : No, no, I've never *had* a friend before.
