Quotes From Splash:

Allen: Are there any messages?
Mrs Stimler: Oh, yes.
[goes back to typing]
Allen: [pause] And they are?
Mrs Stimler: Oh, you're father called, he wants you to call him back.
Allen: Um, my father passed away several years ago.
Mrs Stimler: Shall I ring him for you?
Allen: No, thanks.

Freddie: People fall in love every day, huh? Is that what you said?
Allen: Yeah.
Freddie: Yeah? Well, that's a crock. It doesn't work that way. Look, do you realize how happy you were with her? That is, of course, when you weren't driving yourself crazy. Every day? Come on. Some people will never BE that happy. I'LL never be that happy. What am I talking to you for? You don't know anything.

Allen: I don't understand. All my life I've been waiting for someone and when I find her, she's... she's a fish.

Allen: It just so happens I come from a very long line of married people.
