• Frank Harmon : I'm sorry... is that better?

  Breezy : I know I'm being a baby. So, don't say anything.

  Frank Harmon : I wouldn't think of it.

  Breezy : No lectures on maturity, either.

  Frank Harmon : Not a word shall pass my lips. I'll let you in on a secret... nobody matures. They just grow tired.

  Breezy : Y'know, Davy and Marcy have been living together for almost six months now. But, they don't have this... what we have. Davy tells her he loves her all the time, but... the words by themselves don't mean a hell of a lot. Marcy says that she loves him, but I think she has to say it because... then she doesn't realize how really alone she is.

  Frank Harmon : Maybe sometimes it's better to be alone.

  Breezy : Sure. Just like if you have something incurable, it's better to be dead.

  [chuckles] 

• Breezy : Who says a rolling stone gathers no nails? Boy, am I glad to see you. I didn't think anyone was alive up here. You going down the hill?

  Frank Harmon : Well, yes, but, uh...

  Breezy : Far out! Ooh!

  Frank Harmon : Miss, uh, I don't pick up hitchhikers.

  Breezy : That's the best news I've heard all day.

• Frank Harmon : It's your life.

  Breezy : What happened, Frankie?

  Frank Harmon : Nothing happened.

  Breezy : Then why are you throwing us away?

  Frank Harmon : Breezy, there's no us. There never could be. Did you really think we could happen into something?

  Breezy : I thought we already had happened.

  Frank Harmon : All we add up to is a dirty joke. You're the zing in my life, and I'm the best score you probably ever made. That's all.

  Breezy : You don't believe that.

  Frank Harmon : Okay! I can't cope with it! Let it go at that. I cannot cope with any of it!

• Frank Harmon : I like being alone.

  Breezy : Ugh. I don't. I dig people too much to be without them. But then, that's the trouble today; people just don't like each other any more.

• Breezy : Do you think God is dead?

  Frank Harmon : What?

  Breezy : God. Do you think he's dead?

  Frank Harmon : I didn't even know he was sick.

  Breezy : You know what I think? I've been giving it a lot of thought lately. I don't know if I can actually buy the fact that there's somebody up there. I mean, some body up there! No. No, I've come to the conclusion it's a lot simpler than that. You know what I mean?

  Frank Harmon : No.

  Breezy : I mean, say God is, oh - the conscience of man. Wouldn't that scare the hell out of you? Well, sure, because if that's what He really is -well, then maybe He really is dying.

• Breezy : Wow. If you haven't got the most suspicious, rancid mind.

  Frank Harmon : Oh. I know. And I hate myself for it.

• Breezy : I really won't know where older people are until - until I'm there myself. Is that how it is, Frankie? Do - do you start believing what you see in the mirror and forget about what you feel inside? Do you stop feeling because the outside of you makes it seem foolish? Is that it? Does becoming older mean feeling foolish? Well, what's there to look forward to, then, if you can't go on loving and being loved? I'm never gonna let it happen to me.

• Breezy : I think people are basically good. Now, you take Bruno, for instance. There I was last night in all that rain with no place to sleep. Marcy's house was full up. I mean, there wasn't even an inch of floor space left, and so Bruno, who didn't know me from Adam - or Eve. Well, Bruno took me home to his place. He didn't have any toothpaste though, and my mouth feels like somebody walked through it with their shoes on.

  Frank Harmon : Doesn't it bother you discussing all of this in front of a perfect stranger?

  Breezy : Are you perfect?

• Breezy : You gave me a ride down the hill today. And whether you like it or not, that makes you a nice guy in my book.

  Frank Harmon : I gave you a ride because I didn't want to leave you hanging around my house.

  Breezy : Sure don't make it easy, do you?

• Frank Harmon : Now look, get your clothes on. The party's over. You can go and play your little games with Bruno and all those other nice guys that you know.

  Breezy : Does it follow you around all the time?

  Frank Harmon : What?

  Breezy : That black cloud over your head.

• Breezy : You just keep mixing me up. First you're angry because you think I'm trying to take advantage of you. And now you're angry because you think I let Bruno take advantage of me. Well, which is it? Which am I? Am I the dum-dum that got taken last night or the bitch who's trying to take you tonight?

• Frank Harmon : Aren't you a bit young to be smoking?

  Breezy : If age has anything to do with it, then you're the one who shouldn't be smoking. It's harder on older people, you know. At least that's what they say.

• Breezy : Frankie, would you mind very much if I love you? I wouldn't let it get in your way or anything. And I wouldn't expect you to feel anything back. I just would like to be able to say the words once in a while.

  Frank Harmon : Breezy, all this love that you give away, just once, wouldn't you like to have it returned? Don't you ever want to be loved back?

  Breezy : I thought I was.

• Breezy : Gee, I'm no mystery, Frankie. I come from Intercourse, Pennsylvania. Yes, I know, and I've heard all the jokes.

  Frank Harmon : I didn't say a word.

  Breezy : Well, it gets better. You have to pass through Faithful to get there. Ooh!

  Frank Harmon : What a cross to bear.

• Breezy : What do you think? Oh! I feel beautiful! And you know where I see it? I see it in your eyes.

• Breezy : What do you feel?

  Frank Harmon : Concern for another human being. An awareness of life. Fantastic excitement when I touch you. An interest - a genuine interest in someone other than myself.

  Breezy : You feel all that for me?

• Frank Harmon : You know, you worry me.

  Breezy : I do? Well, that's encouraging.

  Frank Harmon : Breezy, as bad as bad can be, you - you seem to find something good in it. You probably would have found some good in Attila the Hun. But, baby, there are things that are all bad. And there are people that are - genuinely rotten. Unless you accept that, uh, you can't protect yourself from it.

• Breezy : Feel it, Frankie. All the wild, wonderful things that are happening to us. I don't want to miss the smallest part of it.

• Breezy : Your name's Frank, right? Frank Harmon. I, uh, I saw it on your mailbox. My name's Breezy.

• Breezy : Freaks. Another typical day in the life of Miss Dum-Dum.

• Breezy : So maybe I did need a place to sleep tonight. But you're not the only person I know. I just thought it would be nice to stay here with you. But I'll tell you something, I never woke up in the morning and had to look at someone that made me sorry that I was there. But I bet you have.

• Breezy : Why are you turning here? I thought I told you I was going into the Valley.

  Man in Car : Hey, relax. I dig you hippie-dippys. I really do!

• Bruno : Uh, what's your name?

  Breezy : Breezy. See ya around.

• Frank Harmon : if you're old enough to be on your own, you oughta be mature enough to work.

  Breezy : Where did you read that?

• Breezy : Wow, you have a fireplace! I love fireplaces. Does it work?

  Frank Harmon : Yes, it works.

  Breezy : We used to have one back home, but it was a phony, you know, electric. You had to plug it in.

• Breezy : Not much happens in Intercourse, you know.

• Breezy : You kidding? You know how much that's gonna cost?

  Frank Harmon : Forget it. In my second life, I've planned to come back as Howard Hughes. The only problem is, he'd probably still be around, the character.

• Breezy : Hey, Al's got a great new tape deck. You wanna go over there and listen to some music?

  Norman : Oh, I can't. I promised Roy I'd help him move.

  Breezy : Who's he moving with?

  Norman : In with me, of course. I mean, you think I'd lift my finger any other way?

  Breezy : I thought he had a girl.

  Norman : Well, I finally convinced him that these mixed marriages just never work out. Keep smiling, okay?

• Breezy : You know what I love?

  Frank Harmon : Everything.

  Breezy : No, besides that.

  Frank Harmon : What?

  Breezy : I love being horizontal.

• Breezy : I like to watch you dress.

  Frank Harmon : I like to watch you undress.

• Breezy : I know that you feel something. You couldn't have made love to me the way you did last night if you didn't feel something.

• Breezy : I don't understand why people make such a big fuss about age. All it proves is that you've been here longer than I have.
