Michael Welch: Luke Girardi

Quotes 

• Luke Girardi : So, I asked Grace to do this thing with me, and at the time, she said "yes", sort of, but...

  Joan : Wait, Grace Polk said "yes" to you?

  Luke Girardi : It was somewhat contingent, but...

  Joan : Aw...

  Luke Girardi : ...essentially, yeah.

  Joan : She's so gonna get it.

  Luke Girardi : But, see, I don't know if she actually remembers me asking, so do I... do I have to do the full re-approach, or...

  Joan : Now what is she gonna wear? Because they don't make gowns out of fatigues.

  Luke Girardi : What are we talking about?

  Joan : You asked Grace Polk to the semi-formal.

  Luke Girardi : I asked her to be my partner in the science fair.

  Joan : Wow. Science really is like sex to you, isn't it?

• Helen Girardi : Is it strange that you're always awake before I am?

  Luke Girardi : I like to ambush my brain before fear and reason kick in.

  Helen Girardi : You're too young to worry about fear and reason. That doesn't start 'till you're 30.

• Helen Girardi : You're going with Ramsey?

  Luke Girardi : You asked Ramsey?

  Will Girardi : Who's Ramsey?

  Helen Girardi : Why on earth would you ask that boy to the dance?

  Joan : Because he's the only person who would go with me.

  Helen Girardi : Adam Rove would've been thrilled to go with you.

  Joan : Hello! Do I have to brief you people every morning? Adam. Hates. Me. Okay? I have to go.

  Will Girardi : [she leaves]  Who's Ramsey?

• Helen Girardi : Okay, start talking.

  Joan : Why? You're not going to listen to anything I have to say.

  Helen Girardi : Oh, this is not you mouthing off, Joan. This is you explaining why you defied what your father and I specifically said!

  Joan : What about Price? It's 'cause of him this whole thing started!

  Will Girardi : We said no cars under any circumstances. There were no exceptions to that.

  Helen Girardi : It wasn't Price who pulled a gun on your father.

  Will Girardi : Do you have any idea how seriously you could've been hurt tonight?

  Joan : I'm really sorry. This whole... this whole thing... has gotten way out of hand.

  Helen Girardi : So what do we do now? Is it back to therapy or what?

  Kevin Girardi , Luke Girardi : No, no, no.

  Kevin Girardi : Dad, there's no need for that.

  Helen Girardi : Okay, we will do this the old-fashioned way. You are grounded, young lady. And as for everybody else, if we could just keep it down to one tragedy a month, that would be really great.
