Marc St. James: Hey Grub-stank, Grunstank! We need our checks early.
Amanda Tanen: Yeah, got to buy me a red dress Grub-STANK.
Henry: It's Grubstick! Grub-stick! Got it? It's one of the oldest and most honored names in Dutch history! Which loosely translates to; he-who- gives-the-fairest-price-for-his-bricks! The name is venerated and I am proud to be a Grub-Stick!

Marc St. James: [Taking his inhaler] Never been more attracted to anyone in my life.

Marc St. James: [Marc and Amanda are trying to contact Gene Simmons] Maybe you need to communicate with him in his own language.
Amanda Tanen: Hebrew?

Amanda Tanen: I'm sorry. You were looking at me and saying things - I wasn't really listening.

Amanda Tanen: You didn't always have that?

Betty Suarez: There is nobody here who cares about filling the inside, they only care about fixing the outside! You know what, this concealer here, this doesn't change the fact that she doesn't have a house! And this, this eyeliner isn't going to bring back the people you love! These women have lost everything, and there is not enough styling gel in here to change that.

Christina McKinney: So do it.
Betty Suarez: What do you mean, "So do it"? It's Gisele, it's not like we go to the same laundromat.
Christina McKinney: Don't be such a numpty. You phone her representative and you arrange a dinner date.
Betty Suarez: Celebrities do that?
Christina McKinney: Where do you think Tom and Katie hooked up? Church?
