From Mad About You “My Boyfriend’s Back”

JAMIE:  Face it, Alan, you always had to have the last word.  Well, you know what?  You can’t.  The last word was goodbye.  I said it to you five years ago, I’m saying it again now.  Please try to remember it this time.
ALAN:  Goodbye.
JAMIE:  No no no no no.  You see that?  You’re not following.  I say goodbye, not you.  Goodbye.
ALAN:  Okay.
JAMIE:  I said goodbye.
ALAN:  See ya.
JAMIE:  Goodbye, Alan.
ALAN:  (waves)  Take care.
JAMIE:  (she slaps her face with both hands)  Goodbye.  (she leaves the comic book store)
ALAN:  Ladies and gentlemen, Queen Talon.
JAMIE:  (Jamie re-enters the store and takes a flying leap for Alan’s head)  AAAUUUGGGHHHH!!!  (Alan ducks.)

ALAN:  Are you ok?
PAUL:  She's fine.
ALAN:  Why did you call me?
PAUL:  I wasn't here yet and she was a little scared.
ALAN:  SO you called me. Well, I can understand that.
JAMIE:  It's not what you think. I called everybody I know.
ALAN:  Interesting, I uh don't see anybody else here.
PAUL:  I'm here now, so you can go.
(Paul tries to take the flowers Alan brought but Alan won't hand them over.)
ALAN:  OK but if you need me, well, obviously you have my number.
JAMIE:  Don't over interpret that. I just never took it out of my book.
ALAN:  I don't have your number, but whatever. It was nice of you to think of me on the most important moment of your life.
JAMIE:  Somebody kill him and blame me!
ALAN:  Nice seeing you again, Pete.

From “Naked in New York”

Jake (Eric Stoltz), his girlfriend Joanne, and her handsome, rich boss are in a small plane that’s shakily flying in a storm.  Jake is by turns looking bug-eyed, sick and incredulous while trying to act cool around his potential rival.

JAKE:  Is that Patsy Cline playing on the tape?  Why is Patsy Cline playing on the tape?  Is this some kind of joke?
….
ELLIOT:  I hear you’ve written a new play, Jake.
JOANNE:  Jake’s written a few beautiful plays.
JAKE:  Yeah.  My next one’s about Buddy Holly.
ELLIOT:  (laughs)  Look, we’re coming out of the storm.
JAKE:  Thank God.
ELLIOT:  Hey, you want to try a little stunt landing?  Barrel roll, maybe?  Now that it’s clear?  It’s really a great release.
JAKE:  Hey, don’t stop on my account.
JOANNE:  You’re sure?
JAKE:  Yeah.  Wheeee.
ELLIOT:  Terrific.  You’re going to look at the world in a whole new way.
