Sam: I'm trying to play down what a technological idiot I am. Aaron asked me if I wanted a BlackBerry. And I thought he was offering me pie. I said yes.
Rodney: I'm pretty good with all this stuff. What's the problem?
Sam: I need to utilize our global asset allocation model to run the tax consequences for our international clients versus our U.S. clients.
Rodney: Is there a help menu? edit »
Molly: Have you been back to the Colony? Seen anyone?
Rodney: Kenny, Cricket, Sam and now Joan. Wow... it's like I'm the only one in the world who hadn't dumped Molly this summer.
Molly: That's because Shoshanna hasn't asked you to choose between me and Kenny yet.
Rodney: You know whom I'd choose.
Molly: Yes, that's why I'm glad she hasn't asked.
Rodney: Ouch... edit »
Sharon: I was gonna call you. We're all coming home from vacation, so we are gonna start back with yoga again. Wednesdays still good for you?
Molly: Oh. You know what, Sharon? Call it paranoia, but I get the oddest sensation that you're not asking from the goodness of your heart. I mean, here you are, as nice as can be, and all I wanna do is tell you to bite me. edit »
Joan: You bitch!
Molly: What are you...
Joan: Ratted out by my best friend! Pappy told me. You called him? You went behind my back? After everything I've done for you?
Molly: You didn't stop, Joan.
Joan: You broke every code of friendship.
Molly: I put your well-being
ahead of our friendship.
Joan: By telling my husband that I'm... that I'm a liar? And a danger to society? I was doing what I had to do to keep my marriage together!
Molly: Pappy loves you, Joan.
Joan: We spent the whole night screaming at each other and crying! I'm so glad you know what I need!
Molly: You left me no choice.
Joan: Well, here's my choice. I never wanna see you again. Never, ever. 20 years from now, if you think it's time to invite me to Thanksgiving... don't! Now get out!
Molly: I hope you're alive in 20 years, Joan. edit »
Lou: Bianca's gonna bring you breakfast. How do you like your eggs?
Molly: Oh, that's not necessary.
Lou: Toast? Bagel?
Molly: No, I-I should go.
Lou: Don't get shy on me, Molly. We've known each other too long for that.
(pause)
Molly: Eggs... over easy. Like me. edit »
