Quotes

Claire: Name?
Trevor: Cupid.
Claire: I've got all night.
Trevor: Tremendous. I'm free too. Maybe we should hang the "do not disturb" sign. (edit)
Woman #2: What?
Young Man: Why?
Nick: He's gay!
Group: (getting it) Oh.
Mike: Gay gay gay!
Claire: At least that's been my experience. (edit)
Woman #1: I mean a guys gotta be pretty hopped up on testosterone to hit on you in a grocery store.
Mike: Wait a minute, wait a minute. I read in Dr. Allen's column that grocery stores are a safe place to encounter relationship material.
Claire: What I said regarding grocery stores was this: they afford you the opportunity to subtly note commonalities, okay. Say you're vegan and he's toting half a pound of veal, cross him off. If he's holding a pint of humus, Italian mineral water and a bouquet of gladiolas, cross him off. (edit)
