Amy: Ooh, I like Tom's sweater. Does he teach computer in a church basement?
Kim: Don't get all threatened just because you don't understand the concept of marriage!

Amy: [remarking on Oli's extra large genitals] Have you fucked before? Where is she buried?

Amy: Yeah you are!
Guy in Back of Theater: Hey, Mark Wahlberg. Shut your bitch up.

LeBron James: What I'm sayin' is you gotta go for it. You need to focus if you want to take it to the next level.
Aaron: Right.
LeBron James: You have to, like you have to give it everything you got if you want this one, man. It's like, when I lost the championship in 2011, I worked on my game twice as hard; worked on my post-up game, and we wound up winning the championship. Twice.
Aaron: Yeah, yeah... I don't feel like that applies to me but I... I appreciate the... the thought.
LeBron James: You gotta take a risk.
Aaron: Yeah, no, you're right.
LeBron James: You have to. It's like when I decided to go back to Cleveland. I wasn't totally sure they were going to welcome me back, man. But they did. They welcomed me back with open arms and an open heart.
Aaron: Yeah, they did... Again, I feel like that applies more to you... um... like I don't even live in Cleveland... but again, I appreciate the thought.

Amy: I've been with a lot of guys.

Aaron: How many guys?
Amy: What, like, this year?

[opening lines]
Gordon: Girls, your mother and I are getting divorced. Don't cry. I know you're upset, I know you're confused. I don't know what your mother told you, but let me explain it from my side in terms you can understand... You got your doll, right? You got your doll there.
Five Year Old Kim: Yeah.
Gordon: You got your doll and you like your doll, right? You love your doll.
Five Year Old Kim: Yes.
Gordon: Yes, you love the doll. But what if I told you that was the only doll you're allowed to play with the rest of your life. How would you feel?
Five Year Old Kim: Sad.
Gordon: You'd feel sad, of course, 'cause there are a lot of other dolls on your shelves. And if you play with the other dolls, you can't have that doll anymore. Even though that doll doesn't want to play with you at this point. You're both living a lie. There's other dolls you like, and they're making new dolls every year. You want a stewardess doll?
Nine Year Old Amy, Five Year Old Kim: Yeah.
Gordon: How about a slightly overweight cocktail waitress doll?
Nine Year Old Amy, Five Year Old Kim: Yeah.
Gordon: What about a doll who happens to be best friends with your main doll?
Nine Year Old Amy, Five Year Old Kim: Yeah.
Gordon: It could happen, right?
Nine Year Old Amy, Five Year Old Kim: Yeah.
Gordon: What about a doll you only play with one day and never see again?
Nine Year Old Amy, Five Year Old Kim: Yeeeah.
Gordon: What about a doll where your friend's playing with a doll and he needs you to, you know, kinda man up with the other doll? You don't even wanna play with that doll but you do it cause your friend's playing with that doll and you don't want to sit there and look at the other doll unattended.
Nine Year Old Amy, Five Year Old Kim: ...yeah.
Gordon: So that's why me and mom are getting divorced.

Amy: Hello. Thank you for coming. Gordon David Townsend, not that great of a guy. He was kind of racist, and homophobic. He was a drunk. He was a drunk. He once apologized to me for missing a volleyball game that he was at. He had, umm, made signs with my name on them. When I was eleven, this kid, Brandon Lipinsky. Remember Brandon? He stole my bike, and maybe he was just borrowing it, but our dad went over there and beat the shit out of Brandon's dad, and his grandpa, and Brandon. I bet he personally offended everyone here. Right? Raise your hand if our dad ever offended you.
[Most attendees raise their hand]
Amy: Yeah. He was an asshole. When I asked him to tell me the story of how he proposed to our mom, his response was "Who?". I know he was joking, he loved her a lot, but, uhhh... He was really sick for a really long time. Which isn't fair, because, I don't think anyone else was more alive than him when he was younger. He thought it was payback. he thought it was karma, and that's why he got sick, but I don't think so. I think he was the greatest dad. He always made me feel loved and important. I know he fucked up. I know he probably hurt everyone here. But raise your hand if he was one of your favorite people.
[Most attendees raise their hand]
Amy: He was my favorite person. Thank you.

Steven: [to Amy] As I was turning off your phone, I got a picture of somebody's dick.

Amy: Aaron was telling me about this acupuncturist. She's supposedly amazing. She helps a lot of his patients with pain management and I really want her to take a look at you. Will you do that?
Gordon: I have no desire for an oriental woman to touch me above the waist.

Donald: I just want you to know, my safe word is "pineapple".

Dianna: Your thoughts?
Amy: I'm sorry, I just... I don't know why we treat these athletes like heroes just because they can skate fast or kick a ball in a net. I just think it's weird. No offense. I just think that sports are stupid, and anyone who likes them is just, like, a lesser person. And has a small intellect.
-
Dianna: I'm giving it to Amy. Don't sulk at me!
Bryson: I'm not sulking! I'm...
Dianna: This is my decision. I'm giving it to Amy.
Bryson: Sure. Fine.
[pause]
Bryson: I can do sexy though.
Dianna: Sorry?
Bryson: Huh?
Dianna: What?
Bryson: Nothing. I'm fine. I'm just... having fun.

Aaron: Do you follow sports?
Amy: Oh, my God. Sports? I love them.
Aaron: Who are your favorite teams?
Amy: The, uh... I like smaller teams, like the... not the big leagues. I like the... like, um... Long Island Mediums. The... the Acorn Pine Cones.
Aaron: Haven't heard of them.
Amy: The Fire Island Penguins. I like the Cincinnati Thunder-Wizards.
Aaron: You can stop.
Amy: The Orlando... Blooms?
Aaron: You can stop. You don't follow sports.
Amy: I'm sorry, I don't. I don't know anything about sports.

LeBron James: Can you validate my parking, please?
-
Aaron: You were really, really good!
Amy: As it turns out, I am in terrible physical shape.
Aaron: Yeah, I saw that.
Amy: Could you see that?
Aaron: Yeah.
Amy: I am sweating more than I am proud of.
-
Aaron: Honey. You okay?
Amy: Did I get it?
Aaron: Did you get the basket?
Amy: Did it go in?
Aaron: Oh, of course not. You didn't get enough height.
Amy: No?
Aaron: No.
Amy: I thought I got a lot of height.
Aaron: No, no. Zero height.
Amy: No height, huh?
Aaron: Usually when people hit trampolines they go high, but, for some reason, you went down. You went straight down. Hard!

LeBron James: Okay, so you had the salmon. That's about $14...
Aaron: What're you doing man?
LeBron James: ...you had two Cokes.
Aaron: Dude, are you trying to split the bill?
LeBron James: Look, I told you those refills weren't free.
Aaron: No, no, no, no. We're not splitting the bill. Pick up the check.
LeBron James: Why do I have to pick up the check?
Aaron: Because you're LeBron James.
LeBron James: Listen, don't look at me differently because now I have a little money. I don't know how long this could last. Anything could happen. I'm not about to end up like M.C.Hammer. Listen, you owe $32.43.
Aaron: [Taking out his wallet] You know what? I'll pay it but you gotta pick up a check every once in awhile.
LeBron James: No, no. Don't pay the whole thing, just pay your part. It's better for our friendship. Equals forever.
Aaron: All right, all right. Fine, I'll put my credit card in. Put a credit card in, we'll split it.
LeBron James: Okay, that's what I'm talking about...
[Patting his pockets for his wallet]
LeBron James: I think I left my wallet in the car.
Aaron: [sighing] Fuck you.

Dianna: Best way to grieve: don't do it.
