Micki + Maude (1984)

Richard Mulligan: Leo Brody

Quotes 

• Maid of Honor : [after catching the bouquet at Rob and Maude's wedding]  I guess I'm next.

  Leo Brody : Oh, I don't think he has the time.

  [speaking of Rob] 

• Rob Salinger : I don't want to divorce, Micki, I just want to marry Maude.

  Leo Brody : You can't have your cake and eat it too.

  Rob Salinger : I've been with her for ten years. I can't give them up just like that. And it's have your cake and eat it too.

  Leo Brody : What do you mean?

  Rob Salinger : To have your cake, anyone can do. To eat it and still have some left, that's the trick.

  Leo Brody : Eat your cake, have your cake, who cares? You're about to get a plate of sauteed brains thrown into your face, your entire career is the toilet, and you're correcting my grammar?

• Leo Brody : [to Rob]  Oh, my God. You look like someone just took out all your blood and replaced it with milk.

• Rob Salinger : What am I supposed to say? "Micki, a decade is a long time to be intimate with another human being, but I'm..."

  Leo Brody : A little stiff. A little stiff, Rob. How about "Dear..."?

  Rob Salinger : Dear? What do you mean "dear"? I don't call her "dear", she's a lawyer.

  Leo Brody : Oh... "Councilor"? I'm just not good enough for you.

  Rob Salinger : Oh! Common, Leo... Jesus! Wait a minute. Uhm... Oh! Common, Leo... Jesus! Wait a minute. Uhm... "Sometimes in a relationship, uhm... Sometimes in a relationship things happen that neither party anticipates."

  Leo Brody : Yeah, you've got the punch, now you need the pillow.

  Rob Salinger : What do you mean?

  Leo Brody : You'll gonna knock her out with this news, you need a pillow for her to land on.

  Rob Salinger : Yeah, I suppose...

  Leo Brody : "Micki, I love you. I'll always love you."

  Rob Salinger : Yeah.

  Leo Brody : Uhm... "These years with you, I've seen you blossom from a young girl into a mature woman."

  Rob Salinger : No, no, no. I mean, she was always a mature woman, even at 25.

  Leo Brody : All right, you like the part "Micki, I love you. I'll always love you", like that, right?

  Rob Salinger : Look, Leo. It's all right, but it's not exp...

  Leo Brody : Well, "Micki, I love you. I'll always love you..."

  Rob Salinger : "And... and... I'm..."

  Leo Brody : "... and I've knocked up a girl, I'm gonna marry and I want a divorce."

  Rob Salinger : Great, where's the pillow?

  Leo Brody : "We'd like to name the baby after you."
