Quotes19

  • Josh: The only thing I hate more than the present is nostalgia for the past.
  • Sarah: You're a dick.
  • Josh: Yeah. All men are dicks, Sarah. We're hardwired that way.
  • Sarah: Yeah, but you're a dick who thinks he's better than a dick because he can back up his dickish behavior with psychobabble and pseudoscience.
  • Josh: Let me tell you something about Bruce Springsteen, okay? Never trust anyone who is that passionate about the state of New Jersey.
  • Sarah: So, we are all doomed, romantically speaking.
  • Alex: Only on like a deep karmic level.
  • Josh: For whatever reason, I'm strangely okay with that.
  • Josh: The Japanese are the most wacked-out people on earth.
  • Sarah: Oh my God, you're like an 8 year-old racist.
  • Josh: An 8 year-old racist... Look, you cram that many people on an island, it's like a throbbing inbred hothouse of cultural miasma. Frankly, I'm surprised they don't have more fetishes.
  • Josh: Sometimes things, they need to be said. And in those instances, being an asshole comes in handy.
  • Siri: Josh, I really fucked up.
  • Josh: I know. He'll get past it. It's ironic, though.
  • Siri: Why?
  • Josh: I just thought that if you were ever going to slip up, it would be with me.
  • [last lines]
  • Josh: [posing for group picture] Alright, posture everyone.
  • Kate: [holding the camera] Uh, I'm going to need you to get a lot closer together than that.
  • Sarah: Okay.
  • Ben: Come on, come on.
  • [arm around Alex]
  • Josh: Alright. I'm going to pose a quick idea, you guys. Maybe next time we do this, it's a happy occasion.
  • Alex: Is there going to be a next time?
  • Isaac: Uh oh.
  • Sarah: Alex...
  • Kate: Okay. One, two...
  • Josh: I taught you all of Calc 21 and then you went off and did better than me on the exam; I'm not teaching you how to chop wood.
  • Isaac: So, what are we making, Sarah?
  • Sarah: We are making chilled watermelon soup and sea scallop risotto.
  • Josh: What? What are we making again?
  • Sarah: I'm sorry, can you do something helpful?
  • Josh: Did you say risotto?
  • Sarah: Can you please do something helpful?
  • Josh: The joint is not going to roll itself, Sarah. And I am making a magical appetizer dish that is going to make your risotto taste so much better.
  • Josh: Alex, where did you get these records? I feel like I'm at a garage sale.
  • Alex: I bought them at a garage sale.
  • [first lines]
  • Night Editor: [entering] Ben. Your page's set?
  • Ben: Mm, yep. Almost.
  • [looking at picture]
  • Ben: Jesus, Alex.
  • [answering the phone]
  • Ben: Hello? Yes, this is him, but I'm at work. So...
  • Josh: [now answering his phone] Used to have a freshman roommate named "Ben", but that ass-wad hasn't called me in ages. What?
  • Sarah: [on her phone] And no one was there? He was... Alone? Yeah, of course he was alone. That was stupid. Yeah, I can probably get up in a couple hours. I just need a little bit of time to get out of here.
  • [more work gets set on her desk]
  • Isaac: [walking while on his phone] Well, he's gonna be okay. That's the most important thing. Okay.
  • [checking incoming call]
  • Isaac: I gotta take this. Hang on a sec... Babe? Yeah, I'm fine. Just got to the office - I'm gonna leave from there.
  • Josh: Sarah!
  • Sarah: What?
  • Josh: Enough with the fucking pictures.
  • Sarah: I'm sorry, I'm recording this for posterity. Is that okay?
  • Josh: By what? By ruining it in the present?
  • Sarah: No, that's your job.
  • Josh: Ben, can I ask you something? Was it difficult, as a couple, when the iPhone 4s came out? Because I can imagine, here you are, minding your own business, and then everybody's asking her a question.
  • Ben: You're a fucking idiot.
  • Alex: I've got great southern exposure, so I was thinking of installing a solar array. And um, maybe a few rainwater basins too.
  • Josh: That sounds great, Alex. Then you'd have everything you need to start a cult.
  • Sarah: Maybe we should make one of those pacts where if we're still single when we're 35, we all just get married.
  • Alex: Who, the *three* of us?
  • Sarah: Yes, and Timmy of course.
  • [indicating the dog]
  • Sarah: We'll make a great dysfunctional family. How's that sound Timmy?
  • Josh: I'd consider it.
  • Ben: I can't remember what happened last, me writing something good or me and Siri having sex.
  • Josh: So basically what you're saying is that you're *blocked* in more ways than one.
  • Josh: I figured that I would be far less curious now if I'd just done a better job of...
  • Alex: ...doing more drugs in college.
  • Josh: Give me a break, I'm not listening to that.
  • Ben: What?
  • Josh: It's like we're gripped by this never-ending nostalgia for our parents' music. It's oppressive.
