Quotes8

  • Grigg Harris: What about me? Am I your friend? Or am I just some... some widget to help you make Sylvia feel better about herself? Why did you invite me to be part of your book club? No, what went through your mind the first time you saw me? "There's a man who is *dying* to read every book Jane Austen ever wrote." Is that what you thought?
  • Jocelyn: No.
  • Grigg Harris: But I thought, "What a beautiful woman. I hope she looks over at me." I thought if I read your favorite books that you would read mine. But no... no, no. You just want to be obeyed. That's why you have dogs.
  • Jocelyn: Do you think he has a brain tumor?
  • Sylvia Avila: I think he fell in love.
  • Jocelyn: Well, I'm rooting for the brain tumor.
  • Grigg Harris: Women never go for the nice guys.
  • Jocelyn: Please, men say that, but when you get to know some of these men who complain the most, you find out they're not as nice as they think they are.
  • Allegra: Why does she have to speak in French?
  • Jocelyn: And if so, couldn't she do it in France, where it's less noticeable?
  • Jocelyn: If we stay in this lane, we're going to be late.
  • Grigg Harris: Given that I have to convert donut grease into biofuel every time I fill up the tank, I try not to drive very fast.
  • Jocelyn: We're barely moving... Why are you getting off here?
  • Grigg Harris: I enjoy seeing the river.
  • Jocelyn: What are you, Mark Twain? Now we're gonna get stuck at every light.
  • 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.
  • Jocelyn: You know what I'm wondering before I go? How do you feel about older women?
  • Grigg Harris: Ah, great. I have three older sisters, so I like all women.
