Quotes10

  • Terry: So, uh, 9/11.
  • [everyone looks at Terry expectantly]
  • Terry: No I mean, I've always wanted to have a conversation with
  • [gestures at Kumail]
  • Terry: about it. With
  • [gestures again at Kumail]
  • Terry: people.
  • Kumail: You've never talked to people about 9/11?
  • Terry: No what's your, what's your stance?
  • Kumail: What's my stance on 9/11? Oh um, anti. It was a tragedy, I mean we lost 19 of our best guys.
  • Beth: Huh?
  • Kumail: That was a joke, obviously. 9/11 was a terrible tragedy. And it's not funny to joke about it.
  • Emily: [Whilst using her phone to book an uber] Listen, I had a really nice time, thank you very much. I'm just going to like, call an Uber, go home and I hope
  • [gets interrupted by Kumail's phone alert]
  • Emily: Just...
  • Kumail: [showing Emily the Uber request] Your driver will be ready as soon as he puts on his pants.
  • Emily: I didn't heckle you, just woo-hoo'd you. It's supportive.
  • Kumail: Okay, that's a common misconception. Yelling anything at a comedian is considered heckling. Heckling doesn't have to be negative.
  • Emily: So, if I... if I yelled out like... *you're amazing in bed*, that'd be a heckle?
  • Kumail: Yeah. It would be an accurate heckle.
  • Sharmeen: I was so worried. We saw on the news that a train derailed, and we thought that you were on the train, and you had died.
  • Kumail: Nobody died on that train, ma.
  • Sharmeen: But did they look under the train?
  • Kumail: [talking about Chris] He's like if a serial killer fucked an inspirational speaker.
  • CJ: He's like Daniel Day-Lewis except he sucks.
  • Emily: Were you available for rides while we were fucking?
  • Kumail: Yeah, but I only looked a couple of times.
  • Terry: Love isn't easy. That's why they call it love.
  • Kumail: I don't really get that either.
  • Terry: I know. I thought I could just start saying something, and something smart would come out.
  • [Terry tells Kumail that he cheated on his wife]
  • Terry: It was horrible, too. As soon as I was finished, as soon as I finished, I was like, "what did you fucking do? What did you just do?"
  • [Terry shouts at the top of his lungs]
  • Terry: "What did you do?"
  • [Terry pauses]
  • Terry: You know, that-that, uh, moment of clarity you get, right after an orgasm.
  • Kumail: Yeah.
  • Kumail: So... to fully know I love someone, I have to cheat on them?
  • Terry: Out loud, it sounds stupid. Eh, it's... yeah, that's terrible advice.
  • Emily: I feel good about the surgery.
  • Kumail: Yeah. Me, too. These doctors know what they're doing.
  • Emily: No, they don't. They're just winging it like everybody else.
