Josh Whitney: Dad can I be excused?

Thom: For God's sake, Josh, clean your plate!

[Josh stands up and scoops all the food off his plate]

Josh Whitney: Is that clean enough?

Thom: Go to your room.

Josh Whitney: You're *in* my damn room!

Claire: [after David reconciles with his dad and stepmom] I've been worried sick about you.

David: You were worried about me?

Claire: [smiles] Of course. Having this baby doesn't mean I don't love you.

David: [hugs her] I know that now... mom.

Claire: Honey, we're a family.

Thom: That's right - just a bigger one.

David: [as they walk in the house] Dad? Mom? Speaking of bigger families, do you think we have room for a pet or two?

Nick: I just feel like she's messing with me.

Thom: Who are you talking about?

Nick: Right now, Norah. No, Tris. Tris.

Thom: You just haven't figured it out yet, have you.

Nick: What?

Thom: ...The big picture!

Nick: I guess not.

Thom: The Beatles.

Nick: What about them?

Thom: This.

[grabs Nick's hand]

Thom: Look, other bands, they want to make it about sex or pain, but you know, The Beatles, they had it all figured out, okay? "I Want to Hold Your Hand." The first single. It's effing brilliant, right?... That's what everybody wants, Nicky. They don't want a twenty-four-hour hump sesh, they don't want to be married to you for a hundred years. They just want to hold your hand.

[Gay couple passes holding hands and smiles at them]

Nick: I'm gonna stop right now.

Thom: Would someone mind telling me where we're going?

Norah: You know how some people like to eat at the same places?

Nick: Yeah.

Norah: Well Caroline likes to barf in the same places.

Thom: Since when does a queen need an excuse to sing?

Thom: Well we came to Gray's Papaya to get a bite to eat and she must have woke up because the chick has flown the coop.

Nick: Thom, that's not acceptable.

Thom: Search Party, N.Y.C Search Party, N.Y.C Caroline, Where the hell can you be?

Dev: Caroline! Caroline!

Norah: Caroline! Caroline!

Dev: Caroline!

Nick: Guys, we need to be adults right now.

Thom: And we finally found a drummer.

Nick: You found a drummer, who?

[Dev points to small electronic drum set]

Nick: That's a children's toy, who's gonna operate that thing?

Thom: You!

Nick: [while turning to go inside] Thanks for coming by guys.

Thom: I have 83 dollars to my name.

Thom: Uh, just playin' around.

Claire: So you're, you're poor?

Thom: No, *you're* poor. I have 83 dollars.

Thom: Eventually you have to settle down.

Claire: Some people settle down, and some people just settle.

Thom: Well, it's clear which category you fit into.

Thom: Depends on who's driving.

Thom: Did you know that out of all the mammals on earth, only a quarter of them are monogamous. The rest

[wandering gesture]

Thom: sleeping around.

Claire: Many of which eat their own poop.

[first lines]

Thom: Actually, sir, if you could just take a look now, I'd really appreciate it. There's this issue with my landlord. He's kind of on my back. So if you could just, please - please - thank you.

Alan: Not bad, nice work, good job. Thanks for coming in.

Thom: If you're going past Newark I gotta charge you round trip. I don't make the rules, that's, that's headquarters... You can't go past New Brunswick either, that's, that's corporation limit. In fact, even New Brunswick's pushing it.

Claire: Will you shut up? I'm not paying you to talk, I'm paying you to drive. That's why I took a cab, so I could sit in the back, while some foreigner who speaks broken English could take me where I need to go!
