Memorable Quotes from
The Big Chill (1983)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[
About men]
Meg:  They're either married or gay.  And if they're not gay, they've just broken up with the most wonderful woman in the world, or they've just broken up with a bitch who looks exactly like me.  They're in transition from a monogamous relationship and they need more space.  Or they're tired of space, but they just can't commit.  Or they want to commit, but they're afraid to get close.  They want to get close, you don't want to get near them.

Meg:  I've been taking my temperature and I know I'm ovulating right now.  The ground is ready, I just need someone to plant the seed.
Sarah:  Yeah, but who's going to be the lucky farmer?

[
About getting pregnant]
Sarah:  It doesn't always happen the first time.
Meg:  That's not what they told us in high school.
