Quotes 

• Edwina Cutwater : What is so important about sex?

  Roger Cobb : What's so important about sex? That's like "What's important about laughing?" Or," "Duke Ellington" or the "World Series"? It's one of those things that makes you feel like you're really - living, Iike you're glad to be alive!

  Edwina Cutwater : I am already glad to be alive. I don't need to play 'tonsil hockey' with some English tart to feel good. I already feel good. I feel wonderful In fact, I feel - quite tingly!

  Roger Cobb : Yeah, that's right. Those are my tingles you're feeling.

  Edwina Cutwater : What do you mean?

  Roger Cobb : It's called "sexual - excitement".

  Edwina Cutwater : It is?

  Roger Cobb : Yes. If you think this feels good, wait'll you feel what hot, passionate boffing feels like.

  Edwina Cutwater : And what happens? Bigger tingles?

  Roger Cobb : Oh! Major tingles.

  Edwina Cutwater : But, will she still respect us tomorrow?

  Roger Cobb : She doesn't respect us now!

  Edwina Cutwater : Let's boff.

• Roger : You'll have to do it.

  Edwina Cutwater : Do what?

  Roger : You know, take it out.

  Edwina Cutwater : Take what out?

  Roger : The little fireman.

  Edwina Cutwater : The little fireman?

  Roger : You know, my penis.

  Edwina Cutwater : How dare you say penis to a dead person.

• Edwina Cutwater : Well I don't see why you're getting so upset about all this.

  Roger : Because I want my body back. And I want my freedom and my privacy. And most of all, I'd like to be able to take a leak without being fondled.

  Edwina Cutwater : You may find this hard to believe, but 'fondling you' while you make pee-pee is not my idea of a good time.

• Edwina Cutwater : Hmm, we seem to have mutual control over our body.

  Roger : OUR body? This is my body! I'm not sharing my body with anyone!

  Hardhat : [overhears]  Everybody's gonna be real disappointed.

• Terry Hoskins : [Roger and Terry start to have sex and she lowers his underwear]  Roger, what's wrong?

  Roger : What?

  Terry Hoskins : Don't I excite you?

  Roger : Edwina, what are you doing?

  Edwina Cutwater : I'm thinking of very old nuns.

  Roger : Please don't do this to me!

  Terry Hoskins : Roger, don't you want me?

  Roger : [Bolts from the bed]  Oh, God! Now she's thinking of dead kittens!

• Edwina Cutwater : Guess what I'm going to do?

  Roger : What?

  Edwina Cutwater : I'm going to come back from the dead.

  Roger : Aaahhhh. And what makes you think you can do that?

  Edwina Cutwater : Because I'm rich.

• Edwina Cutwater : You are rude, crude, and thoroughly unattractive.

• Edwina Cutwater : You know, you don't have to speak out loud. I can hear your thoughts.

  Roger : Great, just what I've always wanted.

• Edwina Cutwater : You have no idea what it's like to be inside a healthy body!

  Roger Cobb : I tried to find out last night!

• Burton Schuyler : Are you strong enough to continue?

  Edwina Cutwater : What? Oh, I'm fine. Really. I'm fine. Tell them.

  Dr. Betty Ahrens : She could drop dead any minute...

  Edwina Cutwater : Don't mind her. She is only trying to make me feel good.

• Edwina Cutwater : I can't believe this. I can't even die right.

• Edwina Cutwater : Just tell him what happened. I'm sure he'll believe you.

  Roger : (thinks) What, are you kidding? I don't even believe it. If I tell him, he'll definitely have me put away.

• Edwina Cutwater : I'm sorry if I spoiled your birthday.

  Roger Cobb : And I'm sorry if I made you being dead an unpleasant experience.

• Edwina Cutwater : I'm gonna dance, Roger. I'm gonna twirl and whirl and spin. I'm gonna cha-cha-cha and merengue. I'm gonna dip - deeply.

• Edwina Cutwater : I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'm sorry I ruined your birthday.

• Edwina Cutwater : There's nothing sadder than Iooking back at the end of your life and saying, "l didn't do it right". And believe me, I know.

• Roger : What the hell are you doing in there?

  Edwina Cutwater : Oh God, don't you guys get enough laughs up there? What have I ever done to you?

• Edwina Cutwater : Mr. Cobb, the last thing I need around here is your ill-informed negativity.

• Edwina Cutwater : It's for a party and I want it to be a corker!

• Edwina Cutwater : Ever since our little accident, I have sensed a lot of hostility coming from you.

  Roger Cobb : Well, excuse me! But I'm watching my entire career go right down the sewer, 'cause I've got a dead woman living inside me. And the only person that can get you out is some cosmic weirdo you can't even find!

• Roger Cobb : Miss Cutwater, as your attorney it is my duty to inform you that the will could be contested if you're deemed - not of perfectly sound mind.

  Edwina Cutwater : Why you presumptuous ambulance chaser. Are you insinuating that I am not of perfectly sound mind?

  Roger Cobb : No. No, I wouldn't do that, but I think practically everybody in the solar system would.

• Edwina Cutwater : Oh! Oh, Mr... .

  Roger Cobb : Cobb.

  Edwina Cutwater : Cobb. Oh, yes, you're the tedious one. Would you mind accompanying me back to my deathbed?

• Edwina Cutwater : I've had all the money in the world and not one good chance to enjoy it. I have never been to Europe. I've never been anywhere really. Oh, sure I've ordered from Neiman's and Gucci's, but I've never actually been there. I've never ridden my own horses. I've never been to the ballet. I've never danced. But Cutwaters aren't quitters. So, I've decided that if my wealth cannot help me in this life, then by God, it's going to buy me another one.

• Edwina Cutwater : I thought we we're going to find Prakha Lasa?

  Roger Cobb : I'm just taking a little breather, that's all.

  Edwina Cutwater : Yes, well, put your little breather back inside your trousers and let's go find him!
