  • Grigg Harris: What about me? Am I your friend? Or am I just some... some widget to help you make Sylvia feel better about herself? Why did you invite me to be part of your book club? No, what went through your mind the first time you saw me? "There's a man who is *dying* to read every book Jane Austen ever wrote." Is that what you thought?

    Jocelyn: No.

    Grigg Harris: But I thought, "What a beautiful woman. I hope she looks over at me." I thought if I read your favorite books that you would read mine. But no... no, no. You just want to be obeyed. That's why you have dogs.

  • Jocelyn: I'm warning you, if Grigg starts making little remarks, I'm gonna walk out.

    Bernadette: You two just keep it together for one more book.

  • Jocelyn: Sex is messy. Maybe Mrs. Dashwood prefers a more well-ordered life.

    Grigg Harris: So what, this is a rulebook?

    Bernadette: We could do worse.

    Jocelyn: I can't fly.

    Eddie: Sure you can.
