October Road, Season 2

Sam:
So I guess that means you'll have time to open your window business

Nick:
Yeah I guess, truth is it's something that Eddie and I always planned on doing since we were kids. Best Friend Windows is what we called it

Sam:
Kind of a dorky name isn't it?

Nick:
We were ten

Sam:
I'm ten

Nick:
Yeah, but you're...

Sam:
different kind of dork?

Nick:
Different kind of 10.

Owen:
He pulls over? He can't comfort her with one hand? One hand on the wheel, one hand comforting? How bout no hands comforting? Why do hands have to be involved at all in the comforting process?

Eddie:
Where did you get this dog?

Janet:
Monk McGillicuddy came into the bar last week with a litter of puppies.

Eddie:
Monk McGillicuddy who set fire to the church our senior year of high school.

Janet:
Um, I guess. Why?

Eddie:
No reason except that this is not a puppy.

Janet:
What do you mean it's not a puppy?

Eddie:
It's a wolf.

Janet:
What do you mean it's a wolf?

Eddie:
I mean it's a wolf.

Janet:
I got you a wolf?

Eddie:
Yeah, you got me a wolf.

The Commander:
You need to go out. Find a girl.

Nick:
That is the last thing I need. I need a vacation from girls. A girl vacation. Do you know what a girl vacation is dad?

The Commander:
Prison.

Eddie:
Hey Janet, can I get a beer?

Janet:
You know this whole you and me going to the homecoming game? It's a bad idea. It's not going to work. Cause here's the thing. I'm not taxes. I'm not the dentist. I'm not something you get out of the way.

Eddie:
What?

Janet:
I'm also not like the other girls you've been with. I'm not a cute cashier. I don't know how to make waffle cones. I'm not another stop along the Eddie Latekka conquest trail... I'm not perky like Susan. I don't know how to bat my eyes like Lottie and I definitely don't have double D cups like...

[Eddie kisses her]

Eddie:
You know what? You're not like the other girls I usually date. You're smart and funny and beautiful inside and out. And you're absolutely NOTHING like taxes.

[Janet laughs a little, Eddie smiles and looks at her]

Eddie:
Excuse me.

[Eddie kisses her again]

Emily:
I can't believe I don't get to meet your parents tonight.

Physical Phil:
And I can't believe you made a reindeer out of a soda can. He's beautiful.

Emily:
"He"?

Physical Phil:
Santa's reindeer are all male.

Emily:
Are not.

Physical Phil:
They have strong, masculine names like Dancer, Dasher, Prancer, Comet.

Emily:
Nope. No sale, bub. Male reindeer lose their antlers long before December 25th, while females retain theirs until January.

Physical Phil:
So?

Emily:
So the reindeer pulling Santa's sleigh are always shown with antlers, which makes them female.

Physical Phil:
See, now, I could argue that, and we could get into this whole disputation on gender bias in caribou, or I could simply rejoice in the fact that my girlfriend possesses that kind of arcane knowledge.

Emily:
And I could rejoice in the fact that you just called me your girlfriend.

Physical Phil:
Well, you are. You are the wind beneath my hooves.

Ikey:
Minus the last few months, we've been friends for almost 20 years. I know that because every time I look in the mirror and see my bent nose, it reminds me of how I met Owen Rowan's elbow on the playground, before I met the rest of him. I just moved to the Ridge. I didn't know Jack from Jill. I remember, he felt so bad afterwards, I was just some grimy kid with a wad of toilet paper up his nose but you introduced me to your friends - and that changed everything. I wasn't David Eichorn anymore. I was Ikey. That's how Owen introduced me to you guys. I was Ikey. And Ikey's all I've ever been. You guys are a part of me. Nick, remember these skid marks? Huh? Yeah, when you dared me to ride down North Hill Road on my bike during a storm. And this gimpy pinky finger huh, Phys? I got this from those home made fire crackers you told me were 100% safe. I got my man Eddie Latekka of course, to thank for my best pick up line. [Rolls up left sleeve and reveals a scar] I tell all the girlies I got this in Desert Storm from a bayonet when actually, you just nicked me with a hedge trimmer. I know, we've come a long way since that playground, Owen. You brought me into the fold back then. I'm hoping you'll let me back in now. I can't lose you guys anymore than I can lose my own skin. You're who I am! I'm Ikey because of you guys. And while maybe, Ikey ain't so much, he's a lot less when he ain't got you guys in his life.

Janet:
[to Eddie] We've been dating for a while now. A while! And we still haven't seen it... "On the Waterfront". So I was thinking we should hang out at my place tomorrow night, and we should most definitely watch "On the Waterfront". Because if we don't watch "On the Waterfront" we may run the risk of never watching it. Ever. Okay?

The Commander:
Life isn't then. Life isn't when. Life is this. Here. Now.

The Commander:
When you were a little boy I warned you never to speak to strangers, never knowing that years later I'd qualify as one.

Jody:
We're both single, no one will find you particularly attractive, and I can tell you find me a little unpleasant, but it's a lovely night, there's rain in the forecast, and I've got a great bottle of absinth back at my nest. So why don't you come over and we'll get alcoholized and bend our backs in bed?

Eddie:
[At seeing Phil naked] Whoa!

Nick:
What's... goin' on Phil?

Physical Phil:
Hey Guys! Just cataloging my CDs.

Nick:
Yeah, that's not what I'm talkin' about.

Physical Phil:
Oh, Pizza Girl had to sketch a nude for her drawing class. I was her model. And then, when we were done, it occurred to me, I wasn't really in the need to put my clothes back on.

Eddie:
Why not?

Physical Phil:
Oh, because sometimes I feel trapped in here. But without my clothes... [takes a step closer to the boys and they grow uncomfortable]

Eddie:
Whoa, okay, so... you're just gonna be naked from now on?

Physical Phil:
Not naked. Nude!

Eddie:
Right.

Physical Phil:
Naked implies, embarrassment and vulnerability, exposure...

Nick:
Yeah.

Physical Phil:
...Nude, does not. Nude implies 'the sun on my bum', the air on my snookle. Nude implies, free!

Eddie:
[Pointing in opposite direction] I'm going over here.

Nick:
I'll go with you.

Physical Phil:
[Sees Eddie sitting naked on the couch] Whoa! Okay. What're you doing?

Eddie:
Savoring every last bit of this hot peppers and steak.

Physical Phil:
I mean why aren't you wearing any clothes?

Eddie:
Well, you made such a fuss about the virtues of being set free I figured I'd give it a try. And you know what? It is really liberating! I may never wear clothes again either.

Physical Phil:
But you can't... if, if I'm... Fine. Done. My days of nudism are over.

Eddie:
What? Why?

Physical Phil:
Aw, c'mon Eddie. We can't live like this. One guy naked it's charming, it's quirky! But two guys, it's... It's not something I'm comfortable with.

[Walks away with a towel around his waist]

Eddie:
[Triumphantly] I said it before and I'll say it again; Pizza Girl ain't the only one who delivers.

Eddie:
Pack a bag.

Janet:
What for?

Eddie:
We're going to Rhode Island. I got tickets for Bye Bye Birdie, Providence. Figured me and Gramps can get some naptime in.

Ronnie:
I'm in love with you, Aubrey. I've been in love with you ever since Nick brought you home on taco Tuesday on that Wednesday. And I know it's weird because he's my brother and you guys are dating, but since he's leaving I have to tell you that. I love that when you talk you flap your hands, or sometimes you use big words that make no sense to me. And I love that no matter what room you're in, the light attaches itself to you. And most of all, I love the way that I feel when I'm near you.

Hannah:
Sometimes it takes him ten years. Or ten hours or ten minutes, but Nick always does the right thing. He always did. He always will. You just have to have a little faith.

Stratton Lorb:
Knights Ridge, baby! Ain't that America!
