Best Quotes
Wren Butler: Don’t pack work. Why would you pack work?
Lily: Because it’s a short vacation and a very long life afterwards.
Wren Butler: Yeah, I’ve been thinking about that, and I really don’t think this whole “being an adult” thing is going to work out for me.
Lily: [referring to Georgia] You’re not sitting together, okay? You’re on opposite sides of the auditorium, which is the size of Rhode Island.
David: That’s the smallest state.
Lily: [over phone] So you promise? No mean comments. No arguing. No passive aggression.
Georgia: What about aggressive aggression? Is that okay?
David: [as they find out they’re sitting together at Lily’s graduation] You got to be kidding me.
Georgia: Guess this is my seat, as you haven’t had a date since Lily was in braces.
David: At least when I do date, it’s age appropriate.
Georgia: That’s my armrest.
David: No, it’s in the middle.
Georgia: This is so like you. Take, take, take.
David: It is not a metaphor. It is an armrest.
Lily: Some of us maybe had seven too many Jägerbombs last night.
