Quotes:
Leslie: If you look inside your bags you will find a few things. A bouquet of hand crocheted flower pens, a mosaic portrait of each of you made from the crushed bottles of your favorite diet soda and a personalized 5,000-word essay of why you are all so awesome.
Leslie: We just come and kick it breakfast style.
Leslie: It’s like Lilith Fair minus the angst. Plus frittatas.
Leslie: It’s the most romantic story ever. It makes The Notebook look like Saw V.
Leslie gasps
Ann: You’ve heard this story before, right?
Leslie: Yes, but the trauma…
Leslie: But if you find him and he’s weird, like a ventriloquist or a puppeteer or anyone who pretends toys are people, then abort the mission.
Mark: I knew, eventually, somehow being in a relationship with you would totally pay off.
Ann: I bought him some actual towels. He was using a bathrobe. And I bought him some other things that humans usually use, like shampoo.
Tom: Are we talking a.m. or p.m.? Those people are old. Am I right, Justin? Uh, Justin’s not here.
Leslie: Some of them have been married for half a century. And, no offense, but everybody here is terrible at love. Divorced, dating a gay guy, divorced twice, jury’s still out on you two, and Jerry, who knows?
Jerry: I’ve been happily married for 28 years. You’ve met my wife, Gail, many times.
Leslie: Whatever.
Leslie: Yeah, too bad you got drafted. (JFK voice) Ask not what your old people could do for you, ask what you could do for your old people.
Leslie: Where am I going?
Tom: You don’t know Jay-Z’s schedule. He’s a Renaissance man.
Tom: But think about how much better our friendship would be, if we added, doing it.
Andy: I just wrote a new song, OK? Bottom line: it’s called “sex hair.” It’s about how you can tell when someone just had sex ’cause of how their hair gets matted up in the back. It’s awesome.
Andy: Kyle, I’m gonna lose my shit on you if you ask me one more time.
Ron: You’re asking my permission to take a nooner?
Ron: So it is a nooner?
Leslie: Well, we’re planning to leave around noon. So I’m not quite sure–
Justin: Pick you up tomorrow around noon.
Leslie: For our nooner, which is a cute word!
Ron: Explain it to her later.
Leslie: Explain what?
Ann: I love bears and bags.
Ann: Yearning, by Dennis Feinstein. Mmm ooo Dennis nooo. No Dennis.
Leslie: Will I call him dad, then? No, that’d be too much. Maybe I’ll call him Pappy? Pop? Poppy? Pa-Pa? Look at me, I’m gettin’ ahead of myself.
Leslie: I’m gonna call him Poo-Pa.
Leslie: Or, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston. Oh, Jen. I really want you to be happy. Stay away from John Mayer!
Leslie: Oh, no, Poo-Pa. Poo-Pa no.
Frank: No, never did. Oh though I did once act as my own lawyer.
Frank: Such firm breasts. Oh, that was inappropriate.
Frank: I’m gonna throw up, real quick, and then we can leave.
Derek: Because old people are funny.
Ben: Yeah, it’ll be like the Golden Girls.
Frank: Grenada, for awhile. Then Panama. Then Afghanistan.
Leslie: So, you were in the military.
Frank: Nope.
Andy: Uh, I mean that sucked. Didn’t it?
Band mate: Maybe if you sang it like Louie Armstrong?
Andy: Maybe, yeah. I mean here’s the thing though: Who is that?
Andy: My problem is I don’t know how to tell if we’re doing good, because when you play a rock show, it’s really easy to know if you’re doing great because chicks will flash their boobs at you. When you’re up on stage. And you’re like, “That musta sounded pretty good.” But I can’t, if that happens here my eyes will fall out of my head and I’ll die.
Leslie: It’s a long story. One that we’d love to tell you over a cup of coffee somewhere far from this place.
Wendy: You’re suing me for alimony?
Tom: Yes. When we were married I got accustomed to a certain lifestyle and I’m entitled to money to maintain that lifestyle.
April: Hey, break’s over.
Andy: Ludgate, crackin’ the whip.
Frank: Well, it’s been an interesting ride. I got a job at a grocery store, right out of college. Just for a way to make money. Here I am, 40 years later, completely unemployed.
Frank: I’m as serious as a heart attack. Of which I’ve had four.
April: God, why does everything we do have to be cloaked in like 15 layers of irony?
April: Fine, then I’ll make out with Ben.
Ben: Pass.
Old Woman #1: I told you so. It’s Duke Silver.
Old Woman #2: Duke, can I have your autograph? I love your music.
Ron: You’re mistaken, ladies. Move along.
Andy: Wait, who’s Dean Martin?
Andy: if I’m not mistaken that was the old lady version of flashing. Nailed the gig.
Tom: Can we still go suit shopping?
Justin: Let me get you a pocket square.
