Party of Five, Season 5

Julia:
I keep noticing that my ring is gone... see, there's a line where it used to be.

Griffin:
Just wait, it'll go away.

Daphne:
Do you know why I said yes to you Charlie when you asked me to have this baby? It was you. It was this look in your eyes. It was how badly you wanted it and how badly I wanted to give it to you.

Dr. Bob:
I think it's time you got yourself a grown-up doctor. A regular GP, someone who deals more with the issues a man your age can face.

Bailey:
My age? But what if I don't wanna? What if I like you, Dr. Bob?

Dr. Bob:
Have a lolly.

Griffin:
[to Julia] Don't get too smart. I barely know what you're saying already.

Sarah:
Dad I really need you guys to be together.

Mr. Reeves:
Sarah, I wish you could hear how selfish you sound right now. We've all lost. I lost you, I lost what I thought was a good marriage. Your mother lost something too. None of us has a family anymore. You want this to e all about you. Honey, people change and people grow. You grow too, okay?

Daphne:
I thought I could just walk away. But no matter how far away I walk, the baby's still there.

Sarah:
You take a snapshot of your life the last time you leave someplace, and, I don't know, it's dumb, but you think it's never gonna change.

Bailey:
You figured you could go back any night at eleven and they'd be watching Nightline.

Sarah:
Yeah, you get this.

Bailey:
I've got snapshots too, with parents in them.

Charlie:
I know how much you like to whip out the checkbook, Bay, and be everybody's fixer, but you can't fix this one, OK? I gotta show the court that I can support my baby. Me. Not by little brother or anybody else.

Julia:
What do they do at a Kiwanis meeting anyways?

Bailey:
Sacrifice a virgin for all I know.

Bailey:
You're in serious trouble, man.

Charlie:
Why? How do you figure?

Bailey:
Well, there's gonna come a day when she walks through the door four hours after her curfew and she's got a hickey on her neck the size of a baseball and she declares her undying love for a guy who's got a tattoo on his bicep that reads 'Born Dead' - a guy named Meat, and that's not even his nickname. Man, I should just start saving for your bail now.

Josh:
It's me, it's obviously me. It's something I'm doing, or not doing. It's my overbite, or my deodorant. Whatever it is, it's okay, sometimes these things are just chemical.

Julia:
Josh, it is so not you.

Josh:
It's not?

Julia:
It's him.

Josh:
Him. Him?

Charlie:
I was thinking maybe we could name her Diana.

Daphne:
As in Princess?

Charlie:
As in my mother.

Daphne:
Oh. Wow. Well, that's gonna kinda be a problem for me, Charlie, because my next-door neighbor growing up, her name was Diana, Diana Didario, and we would call her the Italian Sub, and everytime I hear the name Diana I think of this extremely fat girl who shaved my dog because I wouldn't give her my Twinkie.

Julia:
Where's Maggie?

Ned:
Are you kidding? She thinks these movies are... I wanna get this right... an exploitation of women, a celebration of violence, and the ultimate proof that at the lowest common denominator, nothing gets our juices flowing like pain and cruelty.

Julia:
Well, if she's gonna be *that* way about it...

Hannah:
A one night stand after a couple of lousy beers and then this? God, I guess we should've thought about getting to know each other, Will, because I am, I am. It's not a rumor. I am, and it's yours, OK? It's ours.

Daphne:
It's like I'm this alien pod or this receptacle, you know, and the only thing that matters is what I'm carrying.

Will:
Of course, my folks have this law that if I'm not in school they withdraw all love.

Dr. Trabb:
Preterm babies have a little habit of forgetting to breathe. I say this to keep you flat on your back, in bed. I say this to scare you.

Charlie:
I didn't get to see her on her birthday. My daughter's one day old now. I can't figure out how things work, Kirsten. I mean, all this stuff with me and Daphne, all this crap that we had to get through, and the one thing that I was completely clear on, the one thing that seemed exactly right for me, was this baby...

Kirsten:
Charlie.

Charlie:
So now maybe that's the only thing I don't get to keep. How does that make sense?

Julia:
Say something to distract me.

Ned:
I'm in love with you.

Julia:
Something else. Something not so complicated.

Charlie:
Maybe it's like with a jury, you know? When they bring you in to tell you it's all over for you, no one looks you in the eye.

Charlie:
I can't decide this. I don't know how. How do I choose? I mean, one of them I haven't met and the other I'm just starting to know, but I love 'em both. I love 'em both.

Will:
Having a baby right now is gonna ruin my life. Forget having the time to figure out who I am or what I want. I'll never have the chance. Hannah has this baby and I am stuck being the person I am right this second. No college. No job. No clue. And that is not somebody ready to raise a kid.

Julia:
Oh God. I'm such a waste of oxygen and nutrients and tuition.

Daphne:
[to Charlie] I'm not a mother. Why did you call this baby Diana? Because that was your mother's name. And why was she your mother? Because she squeezed you out? No, it's because she loved you and because she wanted you. Because she stuck around your whole damn life and she bathed you and dressed you and raised you. And that is not me. It's just not. Someday, maybe, but not today.

Claudia:
Hey look, O, it's the stooges.

Owen:
I like to watch with Charlie. He laughs at all the dumb parts with me.

Claudia:
Well, I can laugh at the dumb parts. I can.... Oh man, that's really dumb. But funny...

Daphne:
How can I relax with half the hospital down my shirt? Okay, I get more privacy twirling pasties at a shore leave party.

Paul:
If it were my child, if I had to look inside a dumpster for my child, I couldn't do it.... This is the kind of ordeal that makes me feel... it says to me I could never be a father.

Bailey:
I want you to know that if we were gonna have a baby, any way, at any time, then I would love that baby, and I would protect it and I would want it. I would, no matter what.

Bailey:
Thank God that isn't Owen.

Sarah:
It's somebody's Owen, right?

Charlie:
It's easy. It's stuffed and everything. Oven on, insert bird.

Charlie:
What's the rule, Owen? If we're in a big place like the mall, and you turn around and you don't see me, you stay put. Or you tell a policeman, you don't go off looking for me, that's how kids get lost.

Owen:
I wasn't lost.

Charlie:
My parents had five kids.

Daphne:
Are you just realizing that now?

Charlie:
Five. How did they manage that?

Daphne:
They had sex a lot?

Daphne:
You get a 6-minute credit. Which, actually, when you figure in my 15 minute credit from, you know, handling the spitup on your shift, that works out to be a 9-minute credit in my favor.

Charlie:
You claim you can't balance a checkbook.

Charlie:
Afterwards what do you say we go pick up a few chicks? Get matching tattoos.

Charlie:
[singing to his baby] If that mockingbird don't mock, Daddy's gonna buy you an athletic sock.

Daphne:
You thought that once Diana was born, that I would just have to look into that tiny little face, with your hazel eyes and my crooked chin, and that would be it, and that we would just live happily ever after. And, you know something, Charlie, deep down inside, I thought the same thing. But that is not happening. Charlie?

Charlie:
She's crying.

Daphne:
See, I didn't even hear her.

Charlie:
You think you're gonna sacrifice your whole education, blow off a whole year's tuition, to come back here and take care of these kids?

Claudia:
Yeah, well, it's not like you're doing such a bang-up job without me.

Suit salesman:
What do you want people to say about you after you're dead and gone? 'That Bailey, he sure was sensible with his money,' or 'Damn, he looked good in that black cashmere suit?'

Claudia:
Oh no. No no no, we will not, we will NOT call this off! When this family has the opportunity to sit around a table like we used to once a week? I mean, Christmas Eve, a proper Christmas Eve, means stockings, and a night before Christmas, and a cookie on the hearth for Santa, and we are going to do this one thing right, or just die trying.

Julia:
Put down the remote. No more pay-per-view porno 'till we're done.

Ned:
It's only soft-core, and we never would have stayed awake last night without it.

Julia:
Okay, but I'm about to write Stalin into a three-way, so not now.

Daphne:
A person, a parent, who doesn't love their kids, they have kids who grow up the same. And so on, and so on. And that feels bad, mom, to me. That... that feels really really bad.

Doreen:
[to Daphne] I never blamed you for bein' born, so don't blame me for everything that came after.

Charlie:
[to Kirsten] You're as free as a bird, but you stay anyway. So the only two people who actually wanna be here, you and Claudia, I'm like pushin' away. And everyone else, people who are supposed to be family, who actually share my daughter's blood, they can't wait to leave. It just makes me think that if you're not family, I don't know who is.

Daphne:
Not that there is ever a right time. But is it before her eyes can focus on me? Is it before she can call me mama...? I'm afraid that I'm always gonna be the kind of mom who can and will walk away. And that's not the kind of mom that Diana needs. Diana or you. So the question is not when will I leave. The truth is, I've already left.

Charlie:
Daph.

Daphne:
Just do one thing for me after I go. Don't let her hate me.

Daphne:
[to her daughter] Someday you'll go to New York and Paris, not that I've ever been to either, but you will. And there'll be all these French guys. But you'll know how to take care of yourself. I'm not worried about you at all. And then college is a big thing. And you're gonna be college material -- definitely. And you'll wear one of those business suits and you'll carry one of those, like pocket book/briefcase things that cost like a thousand bucks, and you'll be like a lawyer or something, yeah. And Charlie'll be so proud. Poor Charlie.

Owen:
Do you think there's more cool stuff like Saturn that we could see?

Bailey:
Well, yeah. There's all the other planets. There's Mars and Pluto and Goofy.

Owen:
Goofy's not a planet. Goofy's a dog.

Bailey:
I'm teasing you, pal.

Owen:
I know. Bailey, when you find out about cool stuff, will you let me know, so we can see it together? It doesn't have to be just planets.

Bailey:
I'm makin' a list already.

Sarah:
I know you wanna show Owen a good time, but why can't you guys just go and do something that you know something about?

Bailey:
Yeah, sure. Hey, O, you wanna go to a restaurant management seminar?

Owen:
I wanna go camping.

Bailey:
He wants to go camping. Even though it's winter, and it's cold, like it's gonna be wherever we go camping. And I know for a fact that the bears are gonna be hibernating and the fish are gonna be frozen into fish sticks in freezers where they belong.

Charlie:
I just lost it. 'Cause it, you know, hit me that I'm alone.

Julia:
It's OK, Charlie. OK, she's gone. So then now you've gotta think about what's important. Diana is important, and you, your life. Charlie, God, you gotta remember -- you almost weren't here. Be important to yourself, Charlie. 'Cause, I mean, where would we be? And you're not alone. You're never alone, OK?

Sarah:
[after being attacked] I look out the window, whether there's locks on them or not... and I don't see the same world anymore.

Charlie:
How could a mother just walk out on her baby, Jule? ... I know it's hard to take care of people, even when you love 'em. God, do I know that! But you don't just leave.

Julia:
Well, see, you don't know. Because you don't leave. That's not who you are. Daphne is Daphne, and maybe when she thinks about it, then...

Charlie:
No. Daphne is gone.

Sarah:
[to Bailey] If you think buying a gun is gonna make you an adult or responsible, then I don't know what happened to you or who you've become.

Charlie:
Why is everyone so sure that I must be a mess without Daphne....? Over is over, and we're a family. Why cant people just accept that?

Kirsten:
'Cause we care about you.

Julia:
You're still in my life, Griffin. You live with my family, for God's sakes. And it's not fair for you to have to worry about me, when I can't... I can't worry about you anymore, I can't... worry about you anymore, Griffin... please.

Griffin:
So this... this... that's it?

Julia:
That's it.

Kirsten:
I called Dale. She was disappointed. She tried to convince me that sometimes a stork flies over and drops a baby in a couple's lap 'cause it's meant to be. But I told her it wasn't... meant to be.

Paul:
Not meant to be this way, no.

Kirsten:
I think, maybe, Paul, not meant to be. Not this way or any way.

Sarah:
That's all I have right now.

Bailey:
All you have? What's all you have?

Sarah:
My belief, Bailey. My faith in other people, in second chances, you know -- for him, for me, for everybody. That's what I have that's gonna get me back to my old self again. That's what's gonna keep me from being afraid all the time, everywhere I go. Do you want me to lose that?

Charlie:
I've pretty much found the love of my life for now. This little woman, this one little woman. My baby girl. My Diana.

Ned:
[to Griffin] I think you should leave all the husband/boyfriend/lover jobs to me now. Like fixing her car. Or, fixing her anything, for that matter.

Griffin:
He's hitting her.

Justin:
Yeah, well, of course he's hitting on her. I mean, you gotta get used to that...

Griffin:
No. Julia's new boyfriend is hitting her.

Justin:
Then what the hell are you doing here fixing fan belts?

Kirsten:
It's like finding out that I can't have children all over again.

Charlie:
Kirsten, don't.

Kirsten:
Only it's worse this time. 'Cause at least before it was just nature. Now there's someone to blame.

Justin:
You want me to go down there and drag her away from a guy that she wants to be with because you say he's hitting her?

Griffin:
You're right. I wouldn't wanna mess up your squash game at the club...

Paul:
When we didn't get on that plane for Texas you asked me to be honest. Can't you be honest with me now?

Kirsten:
I love you.

Paul:
I know.

Kirsten:
It's over.

Paul:
I know.

Julia:
No, Ned, it's okay, it's my fault. I should never have lied to you and I should never have gone to that party and I should never have danced with Justin and I'm sorry.

Claudia:
I don't know if you're right about Ned or not. What I do know? If Owen gets lost, or Diana needs ear-drops at three am, or I'm hooking up with some bass-playing loser... you're just there. And not for any reason, except, we need you. You're like this angel, Griffin, this guardian angel.

Bailey:
Mom and dad dying took a ton away, but it also gave me something. It made me grow up really fast, and so now, I'm getting a shot at stuff that most guys have to wait for until they're twice my age. And if I pass this one up, I still have a whole extra lifetime to go after it again.

Bailey:
Y'know what Owen said to me yesterday? He said that of all the dads on his team, that I'm the best, because I'm most like a kid.

Claudia:
No, you don't understand. I don't want to hear what you were gonna do, okay? You were supposed to be more than this. You were supposed to be worth the fight.

Cody:
What fight?

Claudia:
The fight with Griffin, when he said you weren't good enough, when he said you were bascially the same kind of loser as him. 'Cause that's the thing, Cody. Griffin? He's not. He's this amazing person. No one sees how great he is. I wanted you to be that too.

Griffin:
You know, uh, you're a lot better than my old man was. The only person he managed to fool was my sister.

Ned:
How'd you get in here?

Griffin:
My ma, she, uh, she was smart, she just took off, and me, uh, as soon as I got picking up, I just started to hit back.

Ned:
Look, you're gonna have to leave now.

Griffin:
You, uh, you, uh, you manage to fool everybody, huh? Justin, or her brothers, even her.

Ned:
This is my dorm, moron. I mean, there's college cops like 10 feet away.

Griffin:
Sit down! Now, that's the thing, the messing with her head, that's what makes me want to kill you.

Ned:
You know, you're gonna be in a lot of trouble.

Griffin:
You guys are done. You hear me? Cause you're not gonna hurt her anymore. And I don't care how it works, but you're done. And you're not gonna see her anymore, ever.

Ned:
Actually, I am. I'm gonna see her in about 15 minutes.

Griffin:
No, you're not. Cause I'm telling you, if you see her, you're gonna get hurt.

Ned:
It's Valentines Day, Griffin. Like it or not. We're in love.

Griffin:
Are you listening to me?

Ned:
Wanna know what we're doing, on our date?

Griffin:
I'm giving you a fair warning.

Ned:
Strip poker, in her bedroom. I know it's not so romantic, but we did hearts and flowers yesterday.

Daphne:
See, it's not... it's not that my mother abandoned me, it's that she did it when I was old enough to understand. It's like she gave me this disease, that she passed on to me, but see, I've stopped it, as of right now, I have stopped it. But if I go home, and I go in therapy, and I try to get well, and all this time I convince Diana to depend on me, and then I FAIL, then I will have given my daughter what my mother passed on to me.

Charlie:
[to Daphne] So, I'm happy you got all the facts, but just so you know, from this point on you can stop blaming your mom, and start blaming yourself.

Ned:
I hit... sometimes... I hit... I hit her.

Charlie:
Everything Griffin's been saying about Ned, and this whole-- Maggie says it's true. Ned used to hit her.

Bailey:
You're kidding.

Charlie:
I can't believe it either. I can't believe how stupid I've been.

Bailey:
So, Griffin's been--

Charlie:
Right. The guy's got a problem.

Bailey:
You damn right, he's got a problem, so let's go. Let's go down there.

Charlie:
My thought exactly.

Claudia:
I'm coming too.

Charlie:
No, you're not. No, stay here with Diana. Wait, wait, wait. Someone's gotta pick up Owen.

Bailey:
Call Sarah, she'll do it.

Claudia:
[about Ned] What are you guys gonna do?

[simultaneously]

Charlie:
We're gonna talk to him.

Bailey:
We're gonna kill the guy.

Julia:
Who the hell do you think you are?

Charlie:
Julia, please. Just get your stuff, we want to take you home.

Julia:
I am not coming with you.

Bailey:
Julia, pack your stuff, we'll talk about this at home.

Julia:
This is my home.

Bailey:
Julia, you can't lie to us about this anymore, okay? We know what's going on.

Julia:
No, you don't. Like you said: I don't get a vote in your lives, you don't get a vote in mine.

Bailey:
This is not about a vote, this is about keeping you safe. So just pack your stuff, and we'll talk about it later.

Julia:
I don't want to talk about it later.

Charlie:
Julia, please. Come on, come with us.

Julia:
Ned and I are working this out, okay? He's getting help, he's seeing someone, I'm going to work this out, Charlie, I'm gonna make it work. Shocking, but true. I'm not quitting on him.

Charlie:
That guy beats women! Alright? It's not your problem to work it out.

Julia:
No, it is. Because he loves me.

Charlie:
If he loved you, he wouldn't be hitting you.

Julia:
No. No, he does love me.

Sarah:
Andrew's your choice. You love him and he's gonna be family, because you chose him. You know, kind of the way that you chose me when you decided to adopt me. But it's not blood or genes or DNA, and it's also not about a license or a ceremony either. It's a choice. And I don't know, I guess, you know, maybe I've made my choice too. And the Salingers have been my choice for a very long time now.

Charlie:
Julia and I are completely different, okay. Do you think five years ago if Mom and Dad had predicted where we'd be right now, that me getting some girl pregnant would have been that far off? Because I don't think so. But Julia? Do you they'd have said that she'd be married and divorced to a motorcycle mechanic all by the ripe old age of 20? And now this? I don't think so, Bailey. So go ahead and blame me. Blame me because I want my kid sister to be everything she was supposed to be. Just don't do it where I can hear you, okay?

Sarah:
You know what, Charlie? I really really hate it when you say 'us' like it doesn't include me. Look, I am not his babysitter just because he and I aren't married or something, and you of all people should know that.

Griffin:
The only person that can help Julia now is Julia. That's it. That's the truth. She's gotta make up her own mind that this is gonna stop, or else...

Claudia:
Or else what? He just keeps hitting her? Is that what you're saying?

Julia:
You know what, Griffin? This whole pathetic little kidnapping fantasy of yours is over, so you don't get to tell me what to do anymore.

Griffin:
Since when have I ever told YOU what to do? You've been marching me around since the day we first met.

Julia:
That is not true!

Griffin:
You wanted us to move into the shed, you wanted me to sell my shop, you wanted to go back to school. And everytime I said 'Whatever you want, Jule,' like an idiot, thinking maybe... But, it looks like all you ever really wanted was someone to beat the selfishness right out of you.

Julia:
I thought it was him and me against everything else, everything that ever hurt me. My last year at home, my breakup with Griffin, even my mom and dad. I thought if I chose him and I pushed away everyone else and I lost myself in us that I'd be safe from all the bad stuff. And that I'd be making this really great and safe thing with him. But all I really did was lose myself.

Griffin:
You're right. I don't have a life. I HAD a life. With you. But I gave that up so you could have what you wanted. So how do you think that makes me feel, Jule, to find out that you wanted this... to know that you'd rather be with some guy that hits you than be with me?

Coleman:
You're asking a judge to take your little brother out of a sober hard-working home and place him with an alcoholic single with a record.

Bailey:
Single? No, I have a girlfriend you lives with me.

Coleman:
Oh, make that an alcoholic shacking up with a young girl. The court will think you're a terrific role model for a five year old.

Dr Kessel:
Ned, you're gonna have to hear a few things. Julia asked me to come here as her doctor because she's afraid that you might--

Julia:
No, uh, let me. Everybody knows, Ned. I called the school, and I called the police and they know you hit me, and they know you hit Maggie. And--And so you're gonna be watched, and, um if you come near me or call me or contact me, you're gonna be charged with assault.

Ned:
Julia--

Julia:
And I've also called your parents.

Ned:
What? My parents? Wh--

Julia:
So they can follow up and make sure you get help. 'Cause you're gonna get treatment, Ned, and you're gonna stay there with Dr. Kessel or whoever-- I don't care.

Ned:
Wait. Julia, wh-- why? I thought that we were--

Julia:
[to Ned] No. Ned, you know what? I'm sick of your lies and I'm sick of your games, and you're not my friend. And I would just walk away from you, except I saw you with this other woman. And I can't let it happen again.

Charlie:
[to Owen] It means that you love someone so much that you put them first, in front of everything, including yourself... If there's something that I can do to make you happy, even if you're scared it's gonna make me sad, I want you to tell me, OK? 'Cause then I'd know how to show you. I'd thank you for that. I'd never be mad. Understand?

Claudia:
You convinced us that this was right. You said that even if Owen gets scared or Charlie gets angry that Owen needs you, Bailey. You were right. He does.

Charlie:
You've all said enough. I mean, yeah - I hated to give up all of that stuff - the designing, Seattle, a million different things. But I did it. I gave it up and I stayed in that house and I did the best that I could. And now, the first really good thing that comes along, the first thing for me, that I actually take - my little girl - and you wanna punish me for it. Why? Because I actually wanted a life for myself?

Claudia:
Charlie, no one is saying...

Charlie:
And you don't realize that you guys are all I've got now. Everything else I let go. So this - all of you turning on me like this - it's not just Owen you're taking away.

Judge:
[to Bailey and Charlie] We're not gonna get anywhere if you two can't curb the testosterone.

Claudia:
Men, forget it - their species cannot be trusted.

Sarah:
Oh, come on, girlfriend, sit down. We gotta talk.

Griffin:
[after they kiss] Can we just think?

Julia:
Why do we have to think?

Griffin:
Because we can't make another mistake.

Claudia:
The entire ice-hockey team is crashing my party tonight.

Sarah:
And that would be a bad thing?

Claudia:
Sarah, they're like these cool guys with actual shoulders. These men on skates with sticks that they whack at eachother when they're not, like, throwing each other into walls.

Julia:
Thank you, Griffin. Just.. thank you. I've been wanting to say that for such a long time.

Griffin:
Y'know, ever since I first met her, I always thought, 'Man, I hope I don't mess this up.' 'Cause that's what I do. I mess stuff up. But you what I never thought? I never thought that I hope this doesn't mess ME up.

Julia:
[about Ned] Even when I was alone, or with someone else, he was always there, y'know. Just always there, like the air or something. And now that I know that he's really gone, it's like... it sounds so dumb... it's actually harder to breathe.

Bailey:
It's really starting to seem like every sentence I hear starts with, 'You should," or, 'You better,' or 'You have to,' and I... it doesn't make sense for me to complain about it because everything that I have I've asked for. But if I could just find five seconds where nobody needed anything from me...

Bailey:
You and Griffin?

Julia:
If you have anything to say other than 'Wow, Jule, that's great,' I don't want to hear it.

Bailey:
Wow, Jule, that's great.

Claudia:
She likes you Charlie, but she thinks that you don't like her back. Now who's gonna stick around for that?

Charlie:
Okay, if that's how she felt, which I'm sure it's not, why would she keep it a secret?

Claudia:
I dunno. But if you felt that way about her, why would you keep it a secret?

Julia:
I was here for the book signing earlier, and I left my copy of Perry Marks's book. Actually, I left it with her, I'm kind of a friend, and I was wondering if you had any more copies, I'd like to get one.

Book Store Lady:
Aisle nine, new section, lesbian feminist writers.

Julia:
Lesbian writers?

Book Store Lady:
Guess you're not a close friend, are you?

Claudia:
It must be hard to be mom. All those things you have to remember to tell your kids. Stuff that's hard to talk about, and they don't listen.

Sarah:
You're welcome.

Lauren:
Grownups. Sometimes I think there's no such thing.

Perry:
[to Julia] I know that you've had some bad times with men, but that's not me. I'm not gay because I don't like men. I'm gay because I like women.

Charlie:
[to Kirsten] Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the not too distant past you had worked four years undergrad and three years into a Ph.D. for this. And I'm the reason that that went to waste. And I'm not gonna make that mistake again.

Julia:
[to Perry] What I wanna know is why I'm like this walking target for drooling jerks. I mean, he could have grabbed you. And he didn't, and you know why? 'Cause you, like, exude 'Don't mess with me.'

Bailey:
[about Kirsten] Do you love her?

Charlie:
Of course I do.

Bailey:
Is she having any doubts?

Charlie:
No.

Bailey:
Then how can it be too risky jumping into a relationship that you both want?

Julia:
Whoah whoah whoah, Josh, you have just said ten...ten supportive things to me in a row. Why are still so nice to me?

Josh:
You really want to know? It's research, for a story I'm writing.

Julia:
Oh.

Josh:
Yeah, it's about this guy... sort of unprepossessing, neurotic, but in a good way, guy, who's got a problem.

Julia:
Other than being neurotic?

Josh:
Yeah. See, there's this woman. This mysterious, haunted, beautiful...

Julia:
Okay.

Josh:
...and he just can't stop asking her out, no matter how many time she says no. So my being nice to you is pure research.

Charlie:
You gotta hear this, okay, 'cause Kirsten and me - we're together. And that's changed too many times and it's not changing anymore.

Sarah:
Is that who I am? Sort of a mother, but not really. Maybe a wife, but not quite. I mean, is that me? 'Cause I don't know. Y'know, maybe I'm running away from that, maybe I'm afraid to feel happy in that role because I'm nineteen and I feel like I should want more for myself. Bailey, maybe I can't write this essay because I know exactly who I am, and I'm just afraid to say it out loud.

Julia:
Each guy I've been with has sort of been the answer to the one who came before. It wasn't me choosing so much as ricocheting.

Julia:
[to Perry] I love the way I feel when I'm with you, y'know. I love talking to you, and writing with you... even arguing with you has had its moments.

Charlie:
I'm gonna need a best man, someone I totally trust.

Bailey:
Best man. Charlie, don't do it, don't do that. I'll drive you nuts. We'll be at each other's throats.

Charlie:
Bailey, listen to me, I know what I want, all right. I want the perfect wedding. I want to walk down that aisle and I want to know someone who cares, like, way too much made sure that there's not one doily out of place. Now, who else can give me that besides you?

Sarah:
[to Bailey] I love you, so much. I really do. But I'm 19, and in college, and for me that means trying stuff out, like making mistakes. But mistakes where I can take an incomplete if things aren't working out, not mistakes where other people's lives are riding on what I choose.

Kirsten:
I know what your feelings are, Charlie. I guess, sometimes I forget, maybe. But I've always known. So next year... tomorrow... I will marry you, whenever you want.

Justin:
[to Julia] Oh, okay, I guess this blatant disregard for me is some form of affection? Like the way you treat a sibling, or a... dog?

Claudia:
It's like you were never a kid. 'Cause if you were you'd remember that when someone said they're worried, it doesn't sound like 'I love you,' it sounds like 'I don't trust you,' which frankly, I just don't want to hear.
