Jackie: Who does?
Anthony: You do.
Jackie: Oh, that's right. I do.
Leslie: What does it mean?
Jackie: In French? I think it means something German.
Marty: It means "Loving Mother's Milk".
Leslie: You speak French?
Marty: [blank stare] No… German.Jackie: [after Leslie demonstrates that she can say "I love you" in sign language] Don't leave this girl alone with any handsome deaf-mutes, Marty, that's my advice to you.Marty: Are you being wise?
Jackie: One day I woke up wise.

Marty: I went back to bed.
Jackie: That was wise.Jackie: Are you saving yourself for marriage?
