- Megan: Okay well if the yacht's unavailable, we can go for a ride on one of your horses or elephants.
- Will: Did it never occur to you I had a job?

All About Overcompensating [1.10]

- Marco: I have no idea what you just said but now I'm jonesing for an omelet.
- Megan: I can't believe you were listening to us yesterday.
- Marco: You can't? That's adorable.
- Megan: This is not how I wanted to look when I see the guy that I'm trying to be casual about casually dating.
- Marco: But mentioning your pickle breath is a rock solid turn on.
- Will: You don't have to worry, this isn't a rebound thing. I've been out with a few women since lily and I broke things off. So by definition...
- Megan: You rebounded.. and scored. Look at me using the sports metaphors!

- Will: I want a third chance.
- Charlie: Now let me give you some advice.
- Megan: Like I need any, but go ahead.
- Charlie: Will just lost a job, right? Probably the first real rejection the guy's ever had. So instead of focusing on the imaginary test you thought you gave him, why not try being the great girlfriend he needs right now?
- Megan: It's a little on the simple side.
- Megan: What's this?
- Rose: These are a few of my favorite things... I would have sung that, but that probably falls under the delightfulness rule.
- Megan: Your singing is delightful so we'll have none of that.
- Rose: [about Megan and Will] Get out... are you guys a couple?
- Megan: Uh no, we are not sharing. You to know why? You're grounded from all fun things, including gossip, chit chat, delightful banter. You are grounded from banter.
- Megan: [to Rose] You're grounded, indefinitely. We're talking the X Games of grounding, without the games. After your little French final tomorrow, you are confined to these four... make that six to eight walls. No phone, no Internet, no Pilates. Consider your new status "grounded to infinity."
All About the Ripple Effect [1.12]
- Sage: But what if I'm not fun?
- Rose: What are you talking about? You're super fun.
- Sage: Yeah with you and at like parties and stuff. But you know how you're always saying, school just comes easy for me. Well being adorable just comes easy for you. It's a gift Rose, you should cherish it.
- Zack: So what should I do?
- Sage: Okay, Rose is a big time romantic, I mean she's seen The Notebook like nine times.

- Will: I'm just trying to be respectful here.
- Megan: Respect is for grandmas. I want naked and stuff.
- Will: So what happened tonight? You got pretty enthusiastic with the vodka.
- Megan: That was not the plan.
- Will: There was a plan?
- Megan: Well yeah. I thought we'd, you know, have a few drinks, get a little loosely goosey. I kept drinking when you kept drinking and you're much bigger than I am and all of a sudden I got very loose very fast.
- Megan: Will's a playboy right?
- Marco: Generally speaking, absolutely.
- Megan: So why isn't he playing me? I'm ready to go. Wearing to go. Every night's the same -- just when we get to the good part he says "oh it's getting late" or "I have an early tennis match." I mean who plays that much tennis?

- Marco: Oh yes, you and the feisty twin have finally found love. Funny how that happens just as Keith decided to terminate ours.
- Luis: Yeah I heard about that, sorry man.
- Marco: It's okay, this way the world maintains a love hate balance. I'm happy for you two high school musical looking misfits.
- Rose: [referring to Sage and Luis kissing] They look so cute.
- Rami: It's about damn time.
- Marco: What is ... oh look, happy people. Alright that's it, show's over, nothing to see here!
- Marco: [to Luis] You, easy to replace sous chef, hands off the queen bee and get back to work. [to Sage] And you trouble with a capital S, stop distracting him. Young love, makes me sick.

- Will: I'm sorry I told you to ditch your family. The woman I fell in love with could never give up on anybody.
- Megan: Did you just..?
- Will: That's right, I love you Megan Smith. Deal with that.
- Megan: I love you too.
- Megan: Sage, when I was your age, my biggest concern was trying to get Ethan Hawke to marry me. The Reality Bites Ethan Hawke, not the "I left my wife for my nanny and haven't showered in ten days" Ethan Hawke.
- Megan: Cancel the check!
- Will: The bank's closed.
- Megan: You're a billionaire, isn't there a special number you call?
- Will: Yeah, it's 1-800-im-rich.
- Megan: That's not even enough numbers.
All About Confessions [1.16]
- Rose: I think you're way overreacting

- Rose: He goes to church.
- Sage: Zealot.
- Rose: That does not make him a zealot...
- Sage: Come on, you've seen The Da Vinci Code. What if he's the albino and flogs himself?
- Megan: [about Charlie] When all is said and done, he's my best friend in the whole world and I have to say goodbye.
- Will: And what I'm saying is you've already kissed your best friend goodbye.
- Rose: [about Luis] What if he started avoiding you after you told him you never had sex before?
- Sage: I would hate him.
- Rose: Exactly. Almost as much as I hate Emo.
- [after Megan and Charlie kiss]
- Megan: Woh..
- Charlie: I love you Megan.. Tell me you feel the same way and I won't go. Tell me you need me to stay.
All About Betrayal [1.17]
- Keith: I did the math and it turns out Smirnoff vanilla vodka is cheaper than artificial insemination.

All About a Brand New You [1.18]
- Rose: All this personal growth stuff is stressful.. it's hard figuring out who you want to be.

- Sage: Totally.
- Rose: [taking out knife] This is a survival kit.
- Megan: Oh I'm gonna hate this story, aren't it?
- Rose: You know how I moved in to my own room about a month ago after I found out you guys all lied to me about different stuff?
- Megan: You decided to kill us and leave our bodies in the woods?
