D: Ain't Gettin' Nun

"I had a really great time."

"I had a really great time too."

"You're a terrible liar."

"No, seriously, I love Chinese opera. All that wailing and screaming and... stuff. And all in Chinese."

"I'm sorry about dinner too."

"What? You're crazy, that wasn’t your fault."

"Your eye is still bloodshot and raw."

"My own fault. Really, I shouldn’t have reached over you like that."

"I didn’t realize you were trying to take my coat."

"The swelling’s going down already. So... how about a little coffee."

"I can't, I have to be up early to get back to the convent."

Ted: Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

"Get real. You can't mean that. When did this happen?"

"It has been building for years now. Ever since you dated my brother in high school. I always knew you just didn't fit with him. I think that we could really make it work though."

"Well... we do have a lot in common. We are closer in age, we have been friends for years, hell, we have been going out as friends forever. So you really want to make this into a 'date' instead of just hanging out like always?"

"Yes, Jennifer, I do."

"But, Stephanie. You know I'm straight!"

Michele: One Night in Bangkok

“Bradley, this is a steakhouse.”
“Ya think? What gave it away? The neon sign that says Jack’s Steakouse or the platters of dead cow?"
“Ohmygod. I can’t believe you took me to a steakhouse for our week anniversary.”
“What? You wanted to do a movie instead?”
“Bradley! I’m a vegetarian!”
“And they got lots of vegetables here.”
“This is unbelievable. You should’ve let me pick.”
“Oh, a night at Terry’s Tofu Tavern would have been just heavenly.”
“At least you would have stood a chance at getting inside my tofu tavern.”
“You did not just say that.”
“Fuck. I did.”
