[edit]- Guys think that they like girls who like sports. What they actually like is a girl in a very tight sports jersey, serving them wings and getting the terminology wrong. Guys like girls who like guys who like sports.
- Hard-to-get makes no sense. It's evolutionarily unsound. Why would a caveman want a cave woman who was like 'Go get me food, and when you come back maybe there will be a cave for you, maybe there won't be.' Men should want women that are gonna keep the coziest, warmest caves. Men need shelter. I am guaranteeing shelter.
Dialogue
[edit]- Harper: [describing Kirsten and Rick] One is a stunningly beautiful woman with dark hair and a fierceness that's both scary and inspiring.
- [Shrugs]
- Harper: The other's a guy.
- Harper: I'm so sorry. I got here so early that I thought had time to dick around then I went to that gift shop, then I lost track of time and suddenly I was late.
- Charlie: That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. That is not a real thing.
- Harper: Yes, it is. It's the over-dick-around thing. I over-dicked it.
- Harper: When my mom was my age, she had me. I've never even had a boyfriend.
- Charlie: But you're, like, a grown up.
- Harper: Take that back.
- Charlie: I wanna fuck this pizza.
- Harper: I get it. You should never say that to anyone. But I get it.
- [Harper and Charlie are climbing up a fire escape and Charlie is carrying a pizza]
- Harper: Are you okay?
- Charlie: I'm fine.
- Harper: No, I'm talking to my pizza.
- Harper: It's just like, I worked so hard at being this great assistant and making sure she was happy that... I don't know, feels like I might have lost any writing skill I ever had.
- Charlie: Well, that is definitely not true. You're a terrible assistant.
- Harper: Why are you dressed like that?
- Charlie: I don't work here anymore. I quit working for Rick. Starting over. At 28. Actually, I'm a temp, which is technically lower on the totem pole than an assistant, which is kind of a kick in the nuts. But it's, um, kind of cool. I get to see a bunch of different jobs. Find out what I actually like. I like you. So, so much. You're not hard to get at all. You're hard to earn. It's so much better.
