Jerry Ryan: When you have something like that to say, don't mumble.
Gittel 'Mosca' Moscawitz: All right, I'll holler it.

Jerry Ryan:
Didn't you understand one word I said?
Gittel 'Mosca' Moscawitz: Sure! As a juror I'd give me five years.
Jerry Ryan: I'm not kidding. Need someone.
Gittel 'Mosca' Moscawitz: Let go!
Jerry Ryan: Need someone.
Gittel 'Mosca' Moscawitz: Or what? Let me go or I'll yell.
Jerry Ryan: No, you won't.
Gittel 'Mosca' Moscawitz: Help!

Jerry Ryan:
Gittel, when you've been married to somebody for 12 years, lived together for 12 years, you don't just break up. You can't just forget it like it was... Well, anyway, I cut out. Ran.
Gittel 'Mosca' Moscawitz: Stop running, it's the Atlantic Ocean already.
Jerry Ryan: I'm not running any more.
Gittel 'Mosca' Moscawitz: Don't you see? If you can't talk to her, you're running.

Jerry Ryan:
I told you to make a claim on me, to depend on me. I practically forced you. Gittel, I care for you. I don't want to see you hurt or lost or short-changed.
Gittel 'Mosca' Moscawitz: So what's the future, Jerry? You gonna think any less about her? A little time'll pass, everything'll be hunky-dory? How am I gonna give her competition? Have a hemorrhage twice a year? Trap you that way? I got half of you by being a wreck, is that how we'll go on? Oh, you gotta short-change me, Jerry.
Jerry Ryan: I've tried not to.
Gittel 'Mosca' Moscawitz: That's what's outta whack. How hard you try. Who works that hard if everything's OK?

Jerry Ryan:
I'd say you were a born victim.
Gittel 'Mosca' Moscawitz: Of what?
Jerry Ryan: Yourself.
Gittel 'Mosca' Moscawitz: I feel sorry for you. What's so terrible?
Jerry Ryan: You feel sorry for me?
Gittel 'Mosca' Moscawitz: Sure.
Jerry Ryan: Gittel, how old are you?
Gittel 'Mosca' Moscawitz: 29.
Jerry Ryan: Stop talking like 28. Start worrying about your own worries.

Jerry Ryan:
It's true. Half of me hasn't even been in this town.
Gittel 'Mosca' Moscawitz: I tried Jake.
Jerry Ryan: Of course.
Gittel 'Mosca' Moscawitz: So we're both flops.
Jerry Ryan: No. Not both of us. Not you. I've tried to make you over so you'd be more like me - like everyone, I guess. Stingy, holding back, guarding what we have because we've got so little. Everything you get, you give back double. No, you're not a flop. You're a gift, infant. Underneath that beautiful face there's a street brawler. But underneath that there's someone... that no one, nothing has ever dirtied. The way people were meant to be. That's what you are.

Well... so long, honey.
Gittel 'Mosca' Moscawitz: I love you, Jerry. As long as you live, remember the last thing you heard outta me was I love you.
Jerry Ryan: I love you too, infant.
