Quotes 

• Paula : Hey-hey.

  Kit : Hey... Paula... Good news. It's Champagne Thursday.

  Paula : It's Friday.

  Kit : Uh, yeah, Thursday came twice this week.

  Paula : Huh... for the third straight week.

  Kit : There's talk of making it permanent.

  Paula : Oh, kind of like Daylight Saving's Time?

  Kit : Right, but for booze.

• Kit : Shut up, you whore!

  Paula : [sipping champagne]  Oh, I'm sorry. Was I sipping too loudly for you?

  Kit : No, you're not sipping too loudly. It's that goddamn bird outside my goddamn window! What the hell kind of devil-bird chirps at night?

• Ace : So, is Kit short for Katherine?

  Kit : Yes. Is Ace short for... Ace-a-rooney?

• Kit : I smell something. D'you smell something?

  Paula : Oh! Oh, Tripp and I had crab today.

  Kit : No, that's not it. I smell... fun.

  Paula : What?

  Kit : You are a dirty little fun-haver.

• Paula : Do you know I have a contract? I-I-I have... I have fiduciary responsibilities to uphold.

  Kit : From a fiduciary standpoint, would you say that you had an orgasm?

  [Paula gasps] 

• Kit : You couldn't be more wrong if you called it a Canadian Goose.

  Ace : I'll give you a Canadian Goose.

  [she slaps him, then a moment later, grabs him and kisses him passionately] 

• Kit : [inquiring after Tripp's buddies]  The tall one's kinda cute. What's he do?

  Paula : Oh, he's some kind of software writer. He works out of his basement, but he makes a lot of money. Oh, you know what? No, that's the little guy. The tall one just got fired from Kinko's.

  Kit : [mockingly]  How will I choose?

• Kit : Yeah, everyone from work went to T.G.I. Friday's, but I don't really like that place, or anyone I work with.

  Paula : Oh, good, so then we can stay in and watch one of those drinking movies you like.

  Kit : [sarcastically]  Yeah.

• Jim The Gun Salesman : [persuading her not to buy a large gun and bullet to shoot a mockingbird]  Well for one, there's the book, "To Kill A Mockingbird"...

  Kit : Oh... A copy that, too, right here!

• Kit : How much are the bullets for this?

  Gun Salesman #1 : Shells. Shotguns use shells. Anyway. Whatever. They're 15 bucks for a box of 25.

  Kit : Okay, I don't need a whole box. I just need... one.

  Gun Salesman #1 : You know, I get sad sometimes, too. So many pressures in life, you know? Can I give you a phone number for some people who can help...

• Kit : [finding out that Paula has set her up with Ace]  No.

  Paula : It's just coffee. You don't have to marry him.

  Kit : First of all, that's the geeky computer guy. It's bad enough I have to go out with a loser who still lives with his mom, but you led me to believe that it was the handsome minimum-wage slacker.

  Paula : No, I don't... I don't think that I did that.

• Ace : Okay, how about this? We send flowers to Paula from Tripp, and, flowers to Tripp from Paula.

  Al : Then what?

  Ace : Then, they love each other.

  Kit : Oh, Jesus Christ.

  Ace : [Whispering to Jeffrey]  It's the flowers.

  Jeffrey : [Drops cookie, looking stunned] 

  Sue : Thank you Philip. Now let's all try to come up with a plan that's not so idiotic.

• Paula : [about Ace's room in his mother's house]  Wow! This is fantastic.

  Kit : Yah, it's pretty great.

  Paula : Wow.

  Kit : At this point we're just waiting for his mother to kick it so we can move upstairs.

  Paula : That is a lovely sentiment.

• Pizza Waitress : [Observing the video of Paula talking to Tripp]  I wish I could talk to guys like that.

  Kit : Well, it's easier when the guy's tied up.

  Pizza Waitress : No, I've talked to guys tied up before.

  [Ace and Demo turn around to look at her] 

• Kit : Okay, look. I know I'm a girl and I'm supposed to be better at this emotional crap. But I'm not, so I'm just going to say it. I'm sorry that I pointed out to you that you fell in love with a client and that made you go crazy and turn into a total bitch.

  Paula : [after a long pause]  Wow. That must have been really hard for you to say.

  Kit : I thought it was going to be but I just kind of breezed right through it.

• Paula : I had a nice time.

  Tripp : I did, too.

  Paula : Good.

  Tripp : I had fun.

  Paula : Good.

  Kit : [screaming at the bird outside]  SHUT UP! SHUT UP, YOU CRAZY BASTARD BIRD!

  Paula : Hey, Kit.

  Kit : What? Hi. Can you guys see me?

  Paula : Yeah.

  Tripp : Yeah.

  Kit : Oh, great.

  Tripp : What?

  Paula : Dinner and a show.

  [kisses him] 

  Paula : Good night.

  Tripp : Good night.

• Paula : Oh, my God. I am the worst person in the world.

  Kit : Oh, hey, you're home. Great.

  Paula : I have to break up with Tripp. I'm... I'm terminating my contract, and... I can't do it.

• Kit : Look, I don't see why it's so complicated. You like Tripp. Tell Tripp you like him.
