As Good as It Gets

"I grew up in hell! My grandmother has more attitude than you!"

"Have you ever let a romantic moment make you do something that you knew was stupid?"

Carol: "[in front of Melvins appartment] I'm not going to sleep with you! I will never sleep with you, never, ever! Not ever!"
Melvin: "Well, I'm sorry, but, um... we don't open for the 'no sex oaths' until 9am."

Melvin Udall: "I can't get back to my old life. She's evicted me from my life!"
Simon Bishop: "Did you really like it all that much?"

"I can't do this without you. I'm afraid he might pull the stiff one-eye on me."

"The best thing you have going for you is your willingness to humiliate yourself."

"Is this fun for you? You lucky devil. It just keeps getting better and better, doesn't it? I'm losing my apartment, Melvin. And Frank, he wants me to beg my parents, who haven't called me, for help. And I won't. And... I... I don't want to paint any more. So the life that I was trying for, is over. the life that I had is gone, and I'm feeling so damn sorry for myself that it's difficult to breathe."

Receptionist: "How do you write women so well?"
Melvin Udall: "I think of a man, and I take away reason and accountability."
