Dar: Yeah, I’d even say it’s below the genital area.
Ramona: Oh. Your genitals or my genitals? Because it’s my… Are those your genitals?

Ally: I mean, I do have some ideas for more serious human interest stuff.
Deedee: Please don’t say that nudist doc.
Ally: It’s called naturism, and it’s a fully formed idea. I could start immediately.
Deedee: Nobody wants to watch a bunch of naked normos who aren’t f***ing.


 

Deedee: Dess-Hurt Locker!
Ally: What?
Deedee: Yes! You get Jeremy Renner, who’s available, out in the desert, and he tries different types of baklava. And maybe one of them has a firecracker in it. And you’re like, “No, don’t eat that one!” I see many seasons, my friend.
Ally: That is so offensive on so many levels.


 

Deedee: Alright. Look, I got to run. I’m getting my tubes untied.


 

Libby: [to Ally] Sweetie, I really think you should shower before you go, because you smell like a combination of s**t and puke.

Ally: Well, what I’m doing now is basically still doc filmmaking, except people actually watch it.

Sean: Wow, it’s really hard to see you up there on that high horse.

Ally: Where are we going?
Sean: Down memory f***ing lane! Come on!


 

Sean: You know, I’d be lying if I said I don’t still think about what would’ve happened if you hadn’t left all those years ago.

Sean: You really mean that?


 

Ally: It’s like you build your whole life around this one thing, and then what if it was the wrong thing?


 

Ally: I mean, we could go into my mom’s place. I’m not sure if you’re aware, but it’s pretty much turned into the town brothel.


 

Ally: [to Sean] Hi. I tried to text you, but I guess you changed your number sometime in the last decade.

Benny: Bumble.
Ally: Bumble? The one where the girl reaches out first? Of course.


 

Ally: [referring to Cassidy] Six months? This chick is thirsty.
Benny: Okay. Don’t say “thirsty”. She’s actually pretty cool.
Ally: Sure, if you like that whole hippie love child, “I don’t wear a bra or give a f*** what you think about it” kind of thing. Oh, whatever. I’m not like that anymore.


 

Ally: [referring to Sean] We had this whole crazy adventure. We talked until the sun came up. I thought it was like fate or something.


 

Benny: I mean, he’s getting married in a few days.
Ally: But he’s clearly having second thoughts.
Benny: Ally.
Ally: What?

Cassidy: [to Ally] So it’s not true you used to make up little ditties about everybody at U-dub?

Cassidy: You’re not going to pull some Julia Roberts My Best Friend’s Wedding type s**t, are you?
Ally: What? No. But if my being here is making you uncomfortable in any way…
Cassidy: No. No, of course not. It wouldn’t be very cool of me to kick out one of Sean’s oldest friends.

Benny: I feel like I’m the one who started this whole thing that you’re doing, and I see how it affects Sean. I just feel a little bad about it.
Ally: Benny, has he asked me to leave?


 

Ally: [referring to her dress] It’s too booby.
Benny: It’s a little booby.
Ally: But in a good way.
Benny: Yeah.


 

Ally: I wanted to make docs, and the opportunities were in LA. It’s like Sean had this whole idea of what he wanted his life to look like. It was all planned out, but then there was no room for my plans.
Cassidy: You have no regrets?
Ally: I’m happier than ever.


 

Ally: I used to, you know, really go all out for the things I believed in. I didn’t give a s**t. I just did what I wanted. And that’s exactly what I’m talking about. You can’t give that up.
Cassidy: I mean, I wish I didn’t have to. But I love Sean. And like you said, he has this idea of what his life should be.


 

Sean: It’s just, not how I thought I would feel the day before my wedding.
Benny: I don’t get it, man. You’re crazy about Cassidy.


 

Sean: I’m just scared she’ll take off like everyone else.
Benny: Cassidy isn’t Ally.


 

Cassidy: Being in a relationship while on the road is f***ing hard. People get jealous. The last two girls I dated broke up with me because of it.
Ally: I get it. But you can’t just fully close off one whole side of yourself. That’s no way to live.
Cassidy: I mean, you chose a path. And you’re doing great, right?


 

Jeremy: [as Ally and Cassidy are streaking nude across the golf field] Hey, do not be a little perv. Keep your eyes on the iPad. Eyes on the… That’s it. Bradley Pitt Campbell, do not chase the naked ladies!


 

Benny: Lot more going on between you two than just naked frolicking.
Ally: I was stoned, okay? And somehow we started bonding over nudity. It all weirdly felt like a natural progression.


 

Benny: [referring to Cassidy] I told you she was cool.
Ally: Okay. You’re right. She’s great. She actually reminds me a lot of me at that age. But I don’t know. It’s like Sean is trying to get back this thing that we had, but with someone else. And it just feels like maybe they did rush into all this.
Benny: Ally, just don’t hurt him again.


 

Sean: Actually, everyone’s raving about you. Especially little Brad.
Ally: Aw. Am I his first boobs and bush?


 

Ally: So you guys just got the invite or…?
Teresa: Just yesterday. Yeah. An email from someone we don’t even know. Thought it was spam.
Mike: What a way to discover your daughter’s getting married.


 

Cassidy: [to Sean] Everything is about you and what you want. I can’t do this for the rest of my life.


 

Benny: What did you do?
Ally: Something bad.
Benny: Jesus, Ally, this has gone way too far.
Ally: I know. I’m done. I’m stopping now.


 

Sean: We could have avoided wasting a big chunk of our lives.
Ally: I wouldn’t say I wasted those years.
Sean: No, I know. That’s not what I… It’s more like what you said the other day about how, you know, you just chose the wrong thing.
Ally: Okay. But I wouldn’t say my time in LA was meaningless.


 

Sean: So, why are you still here?
Ally: I don’t know. I don’t think I’m ever going to be who you need me to be.
Sean: Oh, come on. I never asked you to be anything but yourself.
Ally: Yes, you did. And now you’re doing the same thing to her. You want her to change her whole life for you.


 

Sean: [to Ally] So, what? You just came here to blow up my f***ing life? Again? Is that what this is? Is that why you came?


 

Sean: [to Ally] You know what? Go back to your sad, pathetic little game show where you manipulate people into saying and doing exactly what you want from them. Yeah. Because that’s your whole life. None of it’s real. But it’s real f***ing people you’re hurting.


 

Cassidy: [to Ally] I know that you still love him. I know that’s why you came here this weekend.


 

Ally: Look, my work life is s**t. It’s not the amazing picture I painted earlier. Somewhere along the way, I got pretty lost and hung my entire self-worth on a show called Dessert Island. It’s so stupid. So when I came home and saw Sean, I thought he might be the answer.


 

Ally: [to Cassidy] But then meeting you, seeing how f***ing cool you are, how well you know yourself, how passionate you are about your music, it just, it breaks my heart that you would give that up. You reminded me how important that spark is. I wish I still had that kind of passion. And you can’t just let it die. Not for some guy. Not for anything. You are incredible. And you deserve somebody who sees that, who really sees that, and who loves you for all of you.


 

Cassidy: I don’t want to stop playing music. And I’m going to keep touring.
Sean: Yeah. I think you should.
Cassidy: Really? It’s hard to believe that you’re all of a sudden so cool with it.


 

Sean: I love you so much.
Cassidy: And I’m starting to like you a lot too.
Sean: [after he kisses] I’m going to be better for you.
Cassidy: Yeah, you are. But you got to go. I got to get ready to be your wife.


 

Cassidy: That was a really f***ed-up thing you did.
Ally: I know. I’m so sorry.
Cassidy: You almost ruined everything.
Ally: I’m sorry. I’ll go.


 

Cassidy: [to Ally] I kind of hate you right now, but thanks.


 

Ally: Mom, come in.
Libby: Hi. I just wanted to make sure you were decent.
Ally: We’re way past that.


 

Libby: Sweetie, Sean was never the guy for you.
Ally: I know. I know that now.


 

Ally: It’s just, I don’t know what to do anymore. I spent so long giving everything to this one thing, and, you know, I made my choices, and this is who I am now. It’s just maybe I don’t like who I am.


 

Libby: [to Ally] You followed your heart, not caring what the outcome would be, and everyone recognized that it was coming from a pure place. It was refreshing and different. But it was you. You just need to let go and get back to you. Who you really are. It’s not too late.


 

Ally: Do you want to take a walk, or go see a movie, or something?
Libby: Yeah, I’d love that.
Ally: And maybe Sheldon wants to come.
Libby: Well, he already came twice today.
Ally: Jesus, Mom!


 

Grace: We’re all drawn to naturism for different reasons. I mean, some people like the freedom. Others are here for the aspect of community, and some of us just like the acceptance.


 

Christian: Do you want to grab a drink or something?
Ally: Is this because you just saw my boobs and bush?


 

Ally: I’m going to puke next weekend!
