  • Adam: Maybe I'm bad at stuff like this... but we kissed. It's not like I've kissed a lot of girls. Maybe I've only kissed one.
  • Joan Girardi: Right.
  • Adam: Well maybe it meant something to me.
  • Joan Girardi: Maybe it meant something to me, too.
  • Adam: I don't... I don't know what to do with it now.
  • Joan Girardi: [chuckles] Me neither.
  • Adam: Maybe it's like that anti-drug guy said, you know? Romantic love is like a mental illness. It just happens and then what are you gonna do?
  • Joan Girardi: Maybe we're just not ready.
  • Adam: Okay. I accept that. Were you ready for that other guy?
  • [Referencing God, whom Joan was dancing with at the party]
  • Joan Girardi: That's different.
  • [after a long pause]
  • Joan Girardi: Hey, wanna dance?
  • Joan: You don't think she is right, do you?
  • Adam: I usually don't listen to what's going on unless I hear my name.
  • [Joan, Adam, and Grace are studying]
  • Joan: What should we do first?
  • Grace: Ask your brother for the answers.

  • Adam: Listen, I know a lot, I just cant put it all together.
  • Joan: Ok, what about a chemical equation for fire?
  • Grace: Wood doesnt actually burn.
  • Joan: Thats insane.
  • Grace: What burns is the gas released when the wood gets hot. Therefore the reaction would have to be gasification, through oxidation reduction, then combustion.
