Being Erica

Jenny:
You know, a baby shower is basically just rewarding someone for having sex. I have sex all the time. Where is my reward?

Erica Strange:
I think it's the having sex part.

Jenny:
Hmm.

Dr. Tom:
I, for my part, will promise you that you will emerge from therapy with your problem solved.

Erica Strange:
Isn't that a lot of pressure for you?

Dr. Tom:
Pressure makes diamonds.

Dr. Tom:
If life's journey be endless where is its goal? The answer is, it is everywhere.

Dr. Tom:
Do not weep; do not wax indignant. Understand.

[Erica, feeling a little stressed by the situation she is in, unexpectedly walks into Dr. Tom's office and sees him sitting there]

Erica Strange:
[in a relieved manner] Oh, thank God.

Dr. Tom:
I'm not sure if I should be flattered or perturbed.

Erica Strange:
I can't be into Cassidy. I'm not a lesbian.

Dr. Tom:
"Labels are for cans, not people." Anthony Rapp.

Erica Strange:
They say love is friendship set on fire. And if you're lucky enough to find someone you can give yourself to, mind, body and soul, you should hold on, and hope like hell you don't get burned.

Erica Strange:
I think you look great!

Cassidy Holland:
I think they would swarm you in a dyke bar!

Erica Strange:
Friendship: it begins when two people choose each other, but what happens when we outgrow the choice? When little by little, our paths diverge, our needs change, and one day we wake up and realize that we need to choose something different.

Erica Strange:
Sometimes, you're incredibly unhelpful.

Dr. Tom:
[in a positive tone] Why, thank you.

Addison:
In light of Miss Atkins' recent lapses in judgement she will spend the day polishing knobs.

Dr. Tom:
"You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses." Zig Ziglar.

Erica Strange:
Man, who's he?

Dr. Tom:
Oh God, I don't know. I have no idea. The quote stuck, though.

Judith:
[questioning Erica about her first kiss with Ethan] The kiss - scale of one to ten.

Erica Strange:
[without hesitation] Ten... thousand.

Erica Strange:
Dr. Tom, I have tried for weeks to make things right with Sam.

Dr. Tom:
As the wise master from the Dagobah Swamp once said, "There is no try, only do."

Erica Strange:
Did you just quote Yoda?

Dr. Tom:
[in a Yoda styled grunt] Uh-hmm.

Dr. Tom:
"There's a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in." Leonard Cohen.
