Quotes 

• Keenan : What did I ever do to deserve you?

  Joan : Usually that line is screamed at me by someone running out the door, not by someone standing in front of me and staying. It makes for a nice change.

• Joan : Talking about love is like dancing about architecture.

• Keenan : That's the ugliest cat I've ever seen.

  Joan : She's an angel.

  Keenan : She only has one eye.

  Joan : Yeah, but it's her good one.

• Keenan : This may sound corny, but... you don't want me. I'm damaged goods.

  Joan : So? We're all damaged goods.

• Joan : The lad doesn't say much and when he does, he finds just the right words to crush my soul.

• Joan : I feed the fucking thing. I take her to the vet, all you do is pet her twice a day... which is a HELL of a lot more than you've been doing to me lately.

• Joan : You can't treat people the way you treat them and then say something adorable like that.

• [On the Phone] 

  Joan : What, is that a rhetorical question? Why is my life so complicated? Gee, I don't know. Why is your life so fucking simple?

• Joan : No, no, STOP. I've waited my entire life for somebody that I cared about to tell me they loved me and if you think you're getting out of this car now, you're INSANE.

• Joan : You don't say much, do you?

  Keenan : Does anyone when they're with you?

• Max : I uh... I like your tight body. It looks like it would do what I tell it.

  Joan : What?

  Max : I said...

  Joan : No, I heard what you said. And I'll admit 'What?' was a rather banal, cliché, noncolorful response. What I really meant to say was: 'Why don't you do the world a big fat fucking favor and crawl back into your mother's womb?'

• Joan : Last time I saw Harry he was wearing a blue sweater and an idiotic expression. The sweater was new.

• Max : Some girls like you to say things like that to them.

  Joan : Some girls like you to take a dump on them. I'm neither one of those girls.

• Joan : [to waitress]  I'll have a vodka martini, very dry, straight up. three olives, and... my sullen friend here will have...

  Keenan : A Coke.

  Joan : The poster boy for designated drivers will have a *Coke.*

• Paul : [a waiter arrives with a tray of champagne]  Ah, champagne!

  [Paul offers a glass to Joan] 

  Paul : Jo-Jo?

  Joan : [smiling self-consciously, waves it away]  Oh, um, Dad, that's okay. Keenan and I are just going to have a couple of cokes.

  Hannah : [Paul and Hannah look at each other, shocked that Joan has passed up alcohol, then they both look at Keenan]  Keenan, have I said how very nice it is to meet you?

  Joan : Funny.

• Keenan : I can't stop thinking about you.

  Joan : I love conversations that start with the guy saying "I can't stop thinking about you." Mind you I've never actually been on the receiving end of any of those conversations...

  Keenan : Just looking at you makes me happy.

  Joan : I have - I have to sit down.

  [almost knocks over the chair sitting down] 

  Keenan : When we're together, whether or not I show it, I just can't wait to hear the next words out of your mouth. But right now I need to ask you to do something for me.

  Joan : Anything.

  Keenan : Shut up.

• Joan : Blanche can look at you with a gaze of unflappable superiority that springs from total detachment and disinterest... not unlike how you're looking at me know.

• Joan : When was having sex or not having sex not a problem?

• Joan : I want to get rid of you as much as I want to get rid of that crap from Ikea.

• Keenan : This... isn't anything. It's not anything now and it won't be anything ever.

  Joan : WOW. Message received, end of date.

• Joan : Hugh designs video games.

  Keenan : Any I'd know?

  Hugh : Uh..."Killer Golf" That was the last.

  Keenan : Oh, man. That game was awesome! You have a hell of an imagination.

  Joan : Hey, you owe me a dance.

  Keenan : Just one?

  Joan : No.
