[first lines]
Nick Hendricks: I get to work before the sun comes up, and I leave long after it's gone down. I haven't had sex in 6 months with someone other than myself. And the only thing in my refrigerator is an old lime. Could be a kiwi, no way to tell.

Bobby Pellitt: You're three hours late. What's the deal?

Kurt Buckman: Yeah, where'd you see them?
Bobby Pellitt: In your house! Get in! I'm a green belt, motherfucker!
-
Kurt Buckman: Oh shit! I broke a rock!
-

Dr. Julia Harris, D.D.S.: Don't you tell me to shut...
Dale Arbus: Julia, shut the fuck up for a second, all right? Now, here's what's gonna happen, okay? I'm going to take a very nice, very expensive two-week vacation with my fiancee. Let's call it a honeymoon, all right? And you are gonna pay for it. Then I'm going to return to a rape-free workplace, all right? Because if you so much as look at my sexy little ass, Julia, I will have yours locked the fuck up, you crazy bitch whore!
[Dale pauses]
Dale Arbus: Ah, that felt good.
-
Dale Arbus: [walks into Julia's office, notices she is wearing nothing but heels, panties, and her white jacket covering her breasts] Oh, shit!

Dr. Julia Harris, D.D.S.: [motions to the chair] Will you have a seat, Dale?
Dale Arbus: Do I have to?
Dr. Julia Harris, D.D.S.: Please.
Dale Arbus: Sure.
[slowly and awkwardly takes his seat]
Dale Arbus: This is a little ridiculous, but...
Dr. Julia Harris, D.D.S.: Look, Dale, you know... I know I like to fool around at work, right? And I might even, you know, I might even cross the line a bit. But the last thing I wanna do is-is make you uncomfortable. I mean, it's just not professional, you know? And I pride myself on being a professional. So from now on, what I would like you to do is just tell me, you know... when and if, uh, I cross the line. Okay?
Dale Arbus: Okay. Now.
Dr. Julia Harris, D.D.S.: What?
Dale Arbus: Well, now, you're kinda crossing a line... because you're naked.
Dr. Julia Harris, D.D.S.: Uh... I'm not naked, Dale. Can you *see* my pussy?
Dale Arbus: [nervously] Hmm... true. Um... but I think, uh, even really saying the word..."pussy", that's...
Dr. Julia Harris, D.D.S.: That's crossing the line?
Dale Arbus: Little bit.
Dr. Julia Harris, D.D.S.: You're starting to sound like a little faggot there, Dale.
Dale Arbus: There we go! That one's another one. Probably illegal thing to say, too.

Kurt Buckman: ...Y'know, yours doesn't sound that bad.
-
Dale Arbus: Your ad said you do wetwork.

Dale Arbus: We are MEN looking for another man!
