• Catherine Stewart : How do you do this?

  Chloe : I try to find something to love in everybody. Even if it's a small thing. Something about the way someone smiles. There's always something, there has to be. I try to make myself generous. I do things I don't want to do. I... I think about what not to criticize. And the strangest things come back to me.

  Catherine Stewart : Like?

  Chloe : You.

  Catherine Stewart : Me?

  Chloe : Yeah. Yeah people like you walk into my life.

• Catherine Stewart : What's your name?

  Chloe : It's Chloe.

• Catherine Stewart : [to Chloe]  My husband's cheating on me. At least, I think he is. I want to find out. See what he does if you - present yourself to him.

• Catherine Stewart : The money's in the envelope. I want to do this one more time just to see what he does. And then we'll stop, okay?

• Frank : I liked paying.

  Catherine Stewart : Oh, spare me.

  Frank : When you want a little dusting and cleaning with no emotional repercussions - you want to avoid rejected women coming after you - you pay for it. No?

• Frank : We're playing "Spot the Hooker."

  Catherine Stewart : That's pleasant.

  Frank : This is a nice hotel. There's a lot of horny and wealthy out-of-town businessmen. This is a sexy situation. And they mix in with the normal people.

• Chloe : We were hidden, deep in this forest of exotic plants and trees. And we could hear voices in the distance but we were pretty sure no one could actually see us. And I pushed my hand down his pants and felt him. And then I - I moved my hand lightly on him.

  Catherine Stewart : Right.

  Chloe : And then I kept doing this. Moving my hand on him in his pants. And he said to me, "I can't come. I can't come. I have to go to work." But I didn't stop. And then I bit his tongue. And then - just then he came in my hand.

  Catherine Stewart : And then what?

  Chloe : And then he had to go to work so he walked away.

• Chloe : He asked me if there was somewhere he could kiss me where no one would see us. And I said to him that we should go to Allen Gardens. You know that place down the street with the big, uh, big greenhouse? Do you want me to stop?

  Catherine Stewart : No.

  Chloe : We walked through this big, long corridor with all these exotic flowers. There was nobody around. I love Allen Gardens. It's always so warm and the air just feels so beautiful. It's like you're suddenly in a different country. I knew there's a place in the back, where they keep tools and stuff. No one ever goes to that section. It's like a secret hiding place. He brought his mouth up to my lips and we hovered there for a long time. I could feel he was excited through his pants.

  Catherine Stewart : That's enough.

• Catherine Stewart : We used to go everything together. We couldn't stand to be apart. Even for an hour. We'd sit and wait for each other outside of appointments just loving those moments of waiting until we could finally see each other again. Touch each other. I loved his hands. They used to grab me everywhere. It used to be that way. I used to be younger.

• Catherine Stewart : Did you find that waitress sexy?

  David Stewart : Which one?

  Catherine Stewart : The one you were flirting with.

  David Stewart : Oh come on, I was being friendly.

• Chloe : [Calling Catherine in her clinic]  Hello Catherine.

  Catherine Stewart : Where are you?

  Chloe : I'm in your waiting room. Didn't you see me when I came in?

  [camera pans to Chloe, standing in the doorway] 

• Catherine Stewart : [to Chloe]  How do I get through to you? This business transaction, which is what this was, is over!

• Catherine Stewart : An orgasm is simply a series of muscle contractions. That's it. It comes from manipulating the clitoris. There's - there's nothing mysterious and there's nothing magic about it. I'll give you some literature to take home, okay?

• Catherine Stewart : Where did the little boy who used to run into his mommy's arms go?

  Frank : His girlfriend is probably going down on him right about now.

  Catherine Stewart : That's a horrible thing to say to a mother.

• Frank : You changed your hair.

  Catherine Stewart : Yeah. David hasn't noticed.

  Frank : Well, that's 'cause he likes it down.

  Catherine Stewart : How do you know?

  Frank : Well, all men do. They imagine it wrapped around their...

  Catherine Stewart : That's enough, Frank.

• Chloe : I don't usually meet with women. Couples, yes, but - a single woman. Thank you.

  Catherine Stewart : I think my husband would like you.

  Chloe : Do you choose his women for him?

  Catherine Stewart : No.

• Catherine Stewart : Jesus. I don't know whether to be relieved or just go hang myself.

• Chloe : We checked into this room. He put on the news, pretended to be interested. I sat down next to him. He turned and looked at me. Kissed me. Whispered, "Let's fuck."

  Catherine Stewart : Jesus.

  Chloe : He couldn't get it up. We tried a few times. He was really embarrassed. But I told him it didn't really matter, that I liked it. That it meant that we could just wait a little bit longer. And at that point he was fully dressed. I was completely naked. Does this turn you on?

• David Stewart : [been waiting up for Catherine to come home]  Who is it? Are you... in love?

  Catherine Stewart : If I were, would it make a difference?

  David Stewart : Of course it would make a difference.

  Catherine Stewart : Are you in love?

  David Stewart : You've been out all night, now *I'm* under interrogation!

  Catherine Stewart : That's right, I forgot! You're a lot more discreet with your women. You don't come home late, you're never *down* with them.

  David Stewart : I like women. I appreciate their beauty, their intelligence. That does not mean I'm *screwing* them!

  Catherine Stewart : How do you think I feel when I come into your office and you're instant-messaging with a student?

  David Stewart : I make myself available to my students! That's how I gain their trust! That's how I teach!

  Catherine Stewart : Oh, God, you won't admit it!

  David Stewart : Admit what?
