Quotes
-
Will Girardi : I'll try to make this as quick as possible. But we need your help. Do you know who did this to you?
Judith Montgomery : [shaking her head] Some slug who was gonna sell them X. I guess he thought it'd be easier to rip us off. You know, I shoved him away. But I got in the way of his knife, I guess.
Will Girardi : Well, can you tell us who your friends are? We need to talk to them.
Judith Montgomery : They didn't stay?
Will Girardi : They must have been very scared.
Judith Montgomery : Yeah.
[seeing her mother try to maintain her compsure]
Judith Montgomery : You can lose it, mom. It's okay.
-
Judith Montgomery : [juggling] See? How cool is this? When you're in the zone, all is right with the world.
Joan Girardi : [disinterested] Yeah. Great. Cirque du Judith. Listen, where is Adam taking me for dinner?
Judith Montgomery : Sworn to secrecy. I already told Lischak you'd do the project with me.
[tossing the balls to Joan]
Judith Montgomery : Try it again.
Joan Girardi : I would like to obsess over me now, okay, not these stupid balls. This is, like, my first real date with Adam.
Judith Montgomery : And this is the only way to salvage my Physics grade. Do you want me to get shipped off to boarding school? Please?
[Joan reluctantly tries, but fails]
Judith Montgomery : That's good.
Joan Girardi : Can't we just see if Styrofoam floats?
-
Judith Montgomery : [teaching Joan to juggle] Hey, better! He's taking you to La Cachette.
Joan Girardi : That place is fancier than real France.
[in horror]
Joan Girardi : I'm gonna get stuff stuck in my teeth.
-
Joan Girardi : Can't we just microwave popcorn and watch "The Shining"? I'll scream, he'll hold me.
Judith Montgomery : He's spending his bonus from work on you instead of an XBox. You know how deep that is?
Joan Girardi : Yeah, but I-I don't need a fancy date. I mean, we're fine the way we are.
Judith Montgomery : Oh, yeah, real fine. You thought Adam and me were hooking up.
Joan Girardi : All right. Occasionally not so fine, but... but what if he looks across the table and realizes that I'm not worth it?
Grace Polk : [joining them by chance leaving class] Could happen. The whole dating ritual is barbaric. It's all about compromise, the slow death of self.
Joan Girardi : [sarcastic] Way to make my first date special, Grace.
Grace Polk : I'm gonna have to start another woman's movement. The first one obviously didn't take.
-
Nigerian Doctor God : I'm here, Joan.
Joan Girardi : Why did you let this happen?
Judith Montgomery : It's not his fault, JoJo.
Joan Girardi : You make sure that she's okay.
Judith Montgomery : JoJo.
Joan Girardi : No, he can fix this.
Judith Montgomery : Hey. Chill. Don't piss off the only doctor I like. He's the only one that'll look at me.
Nigerian Doctor God : It's difficult not to look at such a beautiful person.
Judith Montgomery : See? He's my angel.
-
Joan Girardi : Why didn't you tell me this was gonna happen? I could have stopped it.
Nigerian Doctor God : Events unfold after choices are made, Joan.
Joan Girardi : But why couldn't she see all the other choices she had?
Nigerian Doctor God : It's about juggling, remember? Good choice, bad one. Good friends, bad ones. Light, dark. It's hard. You said so yourself.
Judith Montgomery : Hey, doc. Don't take away my only friend.
Joan Girardi : No. No, that's not true. You have lots of friends. Good ones.
Judith Montgomery : Do not cry. I will be officially pissed if you cry.
