Nina Borowski[edit]
- Don't open the door for any gas men. Unless you think either one of us would be interested.
- I like guys a lot, but I'm not going to waste my time with some guy that doesn't see things the way I do... I mean do you really need this guy?
- I want you to be with me, I want you to marry me, I want you to love me the way that I love you.
- You don't tell a woman that you love her and then two days later bring Romeo over to sleep with him.
- You have to pick one person and make it work.

- I'm simple, that's why I teach first grade.
Rodney Fraser[edit]

- Sidney Miller: I swear, I'm hotter than a goat in China.
- Dr. Robert Joley: We're too young to settle for a twin-bedded friendship.
