Old Hawaiian Man: Are you staring at me or her? Because you're starting to freak me out.
Henry Roth: Settle down and eat your pancakes. I think she's a local girl. I wanted to go up to her. But I was kind of off my game. But, man, was she cute, though.
Sea Lion Trainer: I thought you liked your bitches from out of state.
Henry Roth: Yeah, that's usually my policy. Make sure I don't get tied down. Freeze that image right there. There's the little fella. Congratulations, Mommy.
Sea Lion Trainer: Sounds to me like someone is afraid of commitment. Let me guess. Your high school sweetheart got drunk at party then cheated on you with whole wrestling team.
Henry Roth: Close. Actually, it was my college girlfriend Tracy. And it wasn't a wrestling team. It was her academic advisor.
Sea Lion Trainer: oh, she liked the older man.
Henry Roth: Older women. About 50 years older.
Sea Lion Trainer: I hope you shot the stupid tramp.
Henry Roth: What's with the "tramp" and the "bitches" talk? Are you drunk or something?
Sea Lion Trainer: I apologize for nasty talk. I am grouchy due to lack of recent physical intimacy. Shut up, because here comes one-time-only opportunity. What I will do now is go into your office and become naked. Next move is up to you. I may not be as limber as I once was, but I make up for it with enthusiasm and willingness to experiment.
Henry Roth: I don't know if you realize I'm not into guys.
Nick: Hey, Mr. Peanut Butter Cups.
Henry Roth: Hey, Mr. Could-kill-Me-in-one-Punch. How you doing?
Nick: You're back.
Henry Roth: Yeah. Couldn't get enough of that Spam(斯帕姆午餐肉). Fry some up and throw some eggs on top of it for me.
Nick: Yeah.
Henry Roth: All right, Mahalo(夏威夷语“再见”的意思).
Nick: Hi, Lucy.
Lucy Whitmore: Hi, Nick.
Henry Roth: You know, why don't you try this? It's kind of a hinge.
Lucy Whitmore: Now, why didn't I think of that?
Henry Roth: Well, you're too close to the project. Don't be hard on yourself.
Lucy Whitmore: You are right. Sometimes you need an outsider's perspective.
Henry Roth: Fresh eye never hurts.
