      Quotes

      Trevor:You ever watch FAME? You know what I have in common with Bruno, Leroy, and Coco? I'm gonna live forever. What about you? You gonna live forever? See, it would saturate my pleasure gland to rip your skin off and make ponchos for the kids. So keep your paws off my shrink here, 'cause I'm a frustrated taxidermist and I'd love to go deep on ya. We on the same team butterbean?
      A minute later...
      Claire:Fame?
      Trevor:Mm-hmm.
      Claire:You get cable on Mt. Olympus?
      Trevor:Omniscience, baby. Look it up.

      Claire: Name?
      Trevor: Cupid.
      Claire: [sighs] I've got all night.
      Trevor: Tremendous it appears I'm free too, maybe we should hang the do-not-disturb sign.
      Claire: I'll ask you to refrain from that sort of innuendo.
      Trevor: You will? When?
      Claire: Now.
      Trevor: Okay!
      Claire: [pointing to self] Doctor. [pointing to Trevor] Patient. Are we clear?
      Trevor: Yes indeed, it's one of my favorite games ever.... I've got a hernia!

      Claire: Olympus, tell me about it…
      Trevor: Nonstop clothing-optional party, everyone's beautiful, drinking wine, chasing nymphs… an AMAZING place, you have NO idea.
      Claire: I saw "Boogie Nights," okay?

      Trevor talking to the orderly at the psychiatric hospital
      Before we begin today, a word about the accommodations. I couldn't find the concierge, so you're the lucky one. Jot this down. Why am I asking you this? That's all you do! You jot. Number 1 - new tailor...(points to his clothing) I'm Papillon. Number 2 - new chef. Number 3 - new clientele. There is a gentleman out there who is hiding ping pong balls in a place where..... let's just say that I won't be signing up for the tournament.

      Trevor:Being the Roman god of love for three thousand years has prepared me for what? Desk job at Hallmark?

      Trevor, to Claire: Oh, can you get this for me, (referring to his pretzel) I only have a hundred. Thank you.

      Trevor, to Claire: Kudos to who ever got you to dress like a woman tonight. Must be someone here you hope to impress.

      Trevor: No offense, but this place sucks.
      Champ: Well, Chicago will frappe your ass.
      Trevor: I meant Earth.

      Champ: How long are you gonna be here, uh, on Earth?
      Trevor: I don't know. It's hard to say.
      Champ: I think I better get that first week in advance.
