8 Simple Rules

Rory: Why's this book so skinny? Student: It's a synopsis. It tells you everything you need to know about "To Kill A Mockingbird." Rory: This is my favorite place ever!

Cate: (to Kerry about Bridget) Okay rusty, where's blondie?

Kerry: You're totally screwed up about men. I'm telling mom and dad. Bridget: Maybe I'm screwed up about men because you kissed my old boyfriend Kyle.

Kerry: Why do you need such a big bag? Paul: Yeah. Bridget: We're giving each other facials. Well actually there's not much you can do with my complexion except admire it! But Amanda's t-zone is like a oil spill without all the dead pelicans.

Cate: Hey Bridget, you really should call Amanda, her mom said everyone's gonna be there. Everyone! Kerry: (starting to cry) Everyone's gonna be there?!

(Paul and Cate see Kerry coming out of a college party) Paul: We've been calling you all night!! Kerry: Uh... I've been playing games on my cell phone. I'm at a personal best in Solitare!

Kerry: We're not going to Amanda's, are we? Bridget: You kissed my old boyfriend Kyle.

Paul: You get home right now! Cate: Paul, don't yell at Kerry! Paul: I can't yell at Kerry. I can't yell at Bridget. I have to yell at somebody! Rory stop reading upside down!

Paul: I didn't drive four hours in the middle of the night to hear all-- Cate: You didn't drive at all.

Cate: Paul, just calm down. Paul: I'm sorry sweetie. I guess I'm in a bit of bad mood today. This morning I cut myself shaving years off my life as head of this family.

Cate: How was father-son day at the slot car track? Paul: Great. Too bad Rory couldn't make it.

Cate: Paul, we're partners, so be quiet.

Rory: Hey upside down, Bridget looks happy.

Rory: If the ceiling were the floors, I'd be taller than the windows.

Rory: Forget it, I'm not going to read a book and watch a black and white movie too.

Bridget: If you didn't lead me on, what about this email 'If things were different maybe you and i would've hooked up'? Ben: Okay, that one was bad.

Ben: I do like you, but you know, your parents made it very clear to me that nothing was going to happen between us and that's when I met Sarah. (Girl walks into room) Girl: Hey Ben, I, oh, sorry (Does "Call me" with hand and leaves room) Ben:...and Sarah introduced me to Andi.

Ben: For now, I think we should just be friends. Bridget: Oh my god, that's my line!

Ben: Bridget, I did not lead you on! Bridget: Okay, okay, but if, and this is a gargantuan if, if you did not lead me on, then answer me this, what am I doing in your dorm room in the middle of the night? Ben: That's a good question! Bridget: Yeah, thank you!

Bridget: Surprise! Ben: Bridget, what are you doing here? Bridget: What's that girl doing in your dorm room? Ben: I asked you first.

Ben: Bridget, I could've been interested, I mean, I thought you were cute. Bridget: Just cute? Ben: Actually, amazing. Bridget: Just amazing?

Paul: Look at what i found on Ben's desk. Cate: A cookie?

Kerry: Mom and Dad would kill you if they knew you were carrying on a long-distance relationship behind their back. Bridget: And you're not gonna tell them, right? Because you swore and made a secrecy vow and you kissed my old boyfriend, Kyle. Kerry: How long are you gonna hold that over my head? Bridget: How long does it take for a broken heart to heal?

Bridget: He's only like three or four years older than me. Paul: Honey, it's not age as much as experience. Kerry: Well, Bridget's got plenty of that.

Bridget: I want to be catched. Paul: (hugs her) You want to be caught. Bridget: (looks at him) I want Mom. (turns to Cate) Paul: It's like trying to reel in a marlin, I was this close!

Rory: I'm at page 104 and I still haven't gotten to the part where they kill the bird! Paul: (takes the book from Rory) You're missing the point in one of the great pieces of literature. Have you got to the part were Robert Duval makes his big screen debut?

Ben: Can I put my arm around you now? Bridget: Yeah, if you wanna lose it!
