What's New, Pussycat [AKA Best Script Ever]
Evidence:
Dr. Fritz Fassbender: My father, the most beloved gynecologist in Vienna, before they took him away on a morals charge for indecent exposure at the State Opera House, said, and I quote: "Please do not take me away, I will not do it again."
Victor Skakapopulis: Brilliant quote.
Dr. Fritz Fassbender: He was a brilliant pervert.
* * * * *
Liz Bien: Would you excuse me for a minute? I'm going into the bathroom to take an overdose of sleeping pills.
Michael James: I like you. You're a nice stable girl.
* * * * *
Miss Marks: Oh, Michael, this can't work, I'm 34 and you're 12!
Michael James: Don't be negative.
* * * * *
Carole Werner: We're married thirty seconds and already you look at other women.
Michael James: I had to look at her, she was talking to me, I looked in the direction the sound was coming from.
* * * * *
Dr. Fritz Fassbender: My wife, the creature that ate Europe, is here.
* * * * *
Dr. Fritz Fassbender: If it fails, then we'll try something else, because I use all kinds of unorthodox methods. For example, I've had the greatest success shutting people in dark closets.
* * * * *
Victor Skakapopulis: We played strip chess. She had me down to my shorts and I fainted from tension.
* * * * *
Dr. Fritz Fassbender: You are a monster and a monster, in that order.
* * * * *
Michael James: I've had a lot of experience fondling, er, handling young women like you. And it's all got to stop.
* * * * *
Renee Lefebvre: You see, I can't help it, I'm a physical woman. I feel guilty about it. But I come from a family of acute nymphomaniacs. That includes my father and my two brothers.
