Mark: To days of inspiration, playing hookey makin' something out of nothing, the need to express, to communicate. To going against the grain, going insane, going mad!
Mark Cohen: You know, there are times when we're dirt broke, hungry and freezing and I ask myself "why the hell am I still living here?" and then they call, and I remember.
Joanne Jefferson: I hate mess but I love you. What to do with my impromptu, baby? So be wise, because this girl satisfies. You got a prize, you won't compromise. You're one lucky baby! Take me for what I am!

Mimi Marquez: He was the same way, he was always "run away, hit the road, don't commit" you're full of shit!
Mimi: The pain will ease if I can learn.

Mimi: We hit it off immediately. The first time I saw her, a skin-head was getting on her nerves. She walked right up to him and said, "I'm more of a man than you will ever be, and I'm more of a woman than you will ever get."
Collins: How do you stay on your feet when on every street it's trick or treat and tonight it's trick?

Mark Cohen: With Nanet Himilfarbe, the rabbi's daughter at the Scarsdale Jewish Community Center.
Mark: Hey Collins, don't get your ass kicked this time!
Roger: Excuse me if I'm off track but if you're so wise then tell me - why do you need smack?
Joanne Jefferson: You were flirting with the woman in rubber!
Maureen Johnson: Baby, there will always be women in rubber flirting with me.
