Review of The House of Yes (1997) by Sam R — 14 Feb 2012

Definitely not for everyone. But a very witty screenplay and interesting watch.

Favorite lines;.

Mrs. Pascal: Oh my God, I sounded just like a mother! Didn't I sound just like a mother?

Marty: You are a mother.

Mrs. Pascal: I know, but I still can't believe it. I look at you people and wonder, how did you ever fit in my womb?

Lesly: This is how you raised them?

Mrs. Pascal: People raise cattle. Children just happen.

Lesly: You were spying on us?

Mrs. Pascal: A mother doesn't spy. A mother pays attention.

Jackie-O: Men and their secrets.

Lesly: Not all men have secrets.

Jackie-O: We all have our secrets.

Marty: I wasn't going to make fun of her. I was going to ask her what she cries about.

Jackie-O: [turns away] What do you think? You want somebody for a very long time. And then you have them. And they love you. And they make love to you. But it's not enough. This is the truth about sex.

Marty: Are you being wise?

Jackie-O: One day I woke up wise.

Marty: One day I woke up stupid.

Jackie-O: What'd you do?

Marty: I went back to bed.

Jackie-O: That was wise.

Jackie-O: Goo is what tape is all about. Goo is what makes it tape instead of *paper*.

Anthony: Nobody *buys* matches. People *find* matches.

Lesly: I don't think you're insane. I think you're just spoiled.

Lesly: Boy, it's been a long day.

Jackie-O: Not as long as yesterday. Yesterday was 24 whole hours.
