Nick Vaughan: Oh, the cops are no help!
-
Brooke Dalton: Running is easy.
-
Nick Vaughan: God. Why is it that any one decision always seems too small to be the biggest decision of your life.
Brooke Dalton: I don't know but sometimes you have to just make the choice and jump.
-
Harry: There is no perfect. There will always be struggle. You just need to choose who you wanna struggle with.
-
Brooke Dalton: It's possible, isn't it? It's possible that you could meet somebody who's perfect for you even though you're committed to somebody else.
Nick Vaughan: No, no, see, I think if you're committed to somebody, you don't allow yourself to find perfection in someone else.
-
Nick Vaughan: We love who we love. Sucks.
-
Harry: You can't allow the ones you love to determine how you love.
-
Nick Vaughan: And at the end of the night, you're gonna want to say some things, but don't. Don't ruin it. It's nothing she doesn't already know. Just give her a kiss. Wish her good luck. And, uh... thank her. Thank her for showing you that you can love more than one person in this life.
-
Brooke Dalton: What if he loves her more?
Nick Vaughan: I'd say that's a long shot.
Brooke Dalton: It's possible isn't it? It's possible that you could meet somebody who's perfect for you even though you're committed to somebody else.
Nick Vaughan: I think if you are committed to somebody, you don't allow yourself to find perfection in someone else.
-
Brooke Dalton: I don't have to know my future. I'm going to live it anyway.
-
Brooke Dalton: Nick...
Nick Vaughan: Yeah?
Brooke Dalton: I'm sorry about all those things I said earlier. I guess I got a little defensive.
Nick Vaughan: Define defensive.
Brooke Dalton: Um... Abusive. Cruel.
Nick Vaughan: Complex.
Brooke Dalton: Ok.
-
Brooke Dalton: How can one of the worst nights of my life also be one of the best?
-
Nick Vaughan: You can read and add, how are you a *cab* driver?
-
Tyler: I hope I was helpful.
Nick Vaughan: Extremely.
Brooke Dalton: I think he wants gratitude.
Nick Vaughan: Group hug? Big kiss?
Tyler: I believe the words were handsome gratuity.
Nick Vaughan: Right. You take credit cards?
-
Danny: I sold a kidney to get this. I mean it wasn't mine, but what am I gonna tell the hooker when she wakes up?

[Brooke laughs]
Danny: *Kidding!* She's not gonna wake up.
-
Brooke Dalton: You're worth a thousand Coles.
Nick Vaughan: What happened to a trillion?
Brooke Dalton: He was tall.
[Nick scroffs]
-
Brooke Dalton: I heard you play and you loved it. Remember?
Nick Vaughan: Kind of feel like it doesn't love me back.
-
Brooke Dalton: I feel that we met in Grand Central for a reason. We were meant to find each other.
-
Nick Vaughan: You sure you're okay?
Brooke Dalton: My purse was stolen.
Nick Vaughan: I've got like... eighty bucks. How far you going?
Brooke Dalton: You can't help me.
-
Nick Vaughan: So what you wanna do... you wanna get a hotel or something?
Brooke Dalton: Excuse me?
Nick Vaughan: No. Not... not...
[laughs embarrased]
Nick Vaughan: Jesus. Not for us. For you!
-
Nick Vaughan: If we can find your purse, we can get you home. It would make me a hero.
-
Nick Vaughan: Wanna come with me... on a little adventure?
-
Brooke Dalton: I'm sure that my husband will really appreciate your helping me. It's incredibly generous of you!
Nick Vaughan: You didn't have to do that.
[silently chucking to self]
Brooke Dalton: What?
[seemingly unaware]
Nick Vaughan: The husband thing.
Brooke Dalton: Well... I didn't mean to distrust you. It's just you're being so nice!
Nick Vaughan: ...Nice.
[ponders the thought while smirking]
-
Brooke Dalton: It's... it's complicated.
Nick Vaughan: Got it.
Brooke Dalton: What is that supposed to mean?
Nick Vaughan: Well... it's not rocket science.
-
Brooke Dalton: What we need is a time machine.
Nick Vaughan: Well we kinda have one. Few years ago they turned all these public pay phones into time machines. You pick one up dial 1993 and a New Yorker will come on and tell you exactly what was happening on that corner 20 years ago. It's funny.
Brooke Dalton: I don't even need to call that far back. I just need to call yesterday.
Nick Vaughan: Well let's try.
[making phone dialing sounds]
Nick Vaughan: Bop bup bo bo bop bup bup pup What would you tell yourself?
Brooke Dalton: Brooke? It's you... from the future.
[smiling]
Brooke Dalton: She doesn't believe me.
Nick Vaughan: Well of course you've got to tell her something secret. Something only you two would know.
-
Nick Vaughan: But then you wouldn't have met me.
Brooke Dalton: I still haven't decided if that's a good thing.
-
Brooke Dalton: Have you ever had a feeling... and just knowing somewhere in your bones that somebody was going to play a major part in your life?
Nick Vaughan: Yeah
-
Brooke Dalton: You really want to know your future?
Nick Vaughan: [sucks teeth] Maybe not.
Brooke Dalton: You're a working musician until your lips fall off. You're revere. You have a...
Nick Vaughan: Maserati?
Brooke Dalton: ...a dog!
-
Brooke Dalton: You fall in love with a woman that deserves you, and she trusts you.
Nick Vaughan: Well... if I ever got that lucky. I probably wouldn't plan on letting her down.
[brief silence]
-
Nick Vaughan: So talk to me about these pieces. Is this done by your famous London artist guy?
Brooke Dalton: Ohhh hohoh...
[chucking]
Brooke Dalton: Well how did you know?
Nick Vaughan: Well... you can tell you need to know quite a bit about art in order to appreciate it.
Brooke Dalton: [laughs] You're an a**hole. Did you know the most interesting thing about hotel art is not the actual art itself? Obviously. But it's what's behind it.
Nick Vaughan: What, like a safe?
Brooke Dalton: No.
-
Nick Vaughan, Brooke Dalton: Gotta go, the hookers are here.
-
Nick Vaughan, Brooke Dalton: Gotta go, the hookers are here.
Nick Vaughan: We probably shouldn't touch anything in this room.
