You're why cavemen chiseled on walls.

When you first entered the restaurant, I thought you were handsome... and then, of course, you spoke.

Do you have any control over how creepy you can get?

Melvin: You make me want to be a better man.
Carol: That's maybe the best compliment of my life.
Melvin: Well maybe I overshot a little, because I was aiming at just enough to keep you from walking out.

Carol: Judging from your eyes, I'd say you were kind.

Receptionist: How do you write women so well?
Melvin Udall: I think of men, and I take away reason and accountability.
