Bernadette
- Bernadette: All Jane Austen, all the time. It's the perfect antidote.
- Prudie Drummond: To what?
- Bernadette: To life.
- Prudie Drummond: I'm in love with one of my students. I mean, nothing's happened, much. It could if I let it... I fantasize about him constantly.
- Bernadette: Sweetie, your mother died. This is grief.
- Prudie Drummond: He looks at me like he's the spoon, and I'm this dish of ice cream.
- Bernadette: How's Sylvia doing without Daniel?
- Allegra: She's still stuck in the wounded stage. When she's ready for anger, I'm so there.
- Prudie Drummond: He looks at me like he is the spoon and I am the dish of ice-cream.
- Bernadette: It's a good thing we're reading Sense and Sensibility next.
- Jocelyn: I'm warning you, if Grigg starts making little remarks, I'm gonna walk out.
- Bernadette: You two just keep it together for one more book.
- Jocelyn: Sex is messy. Maybe Mrs. Dashwood prefers a more well-ordered life.
- Grigg Harris: Maybe that's why she's such a minor character.
- Jocelyn: I think if you read Austen's novels...
- Grigg Harris: Oh, I have. You wanted me to, and I did.
- Jocelyn: I think you'll see she always writes in favor of order and self-control. Nothing unwise.
- Grigg Harris: So what, this is a rulebook?
- Bernadette: We could do worse.
