Quotes

❝

Screw the formula. The formula can lick my lily-white ass

—Harley

❝

A long time ago, you told me that you wanted to be one of those people that took chances, who really lived life, but I guess that was a line, huh? Because as far as I can see, you're just afraid of me, of yourself, of actually living your life

—Joey to Eddie

❝

In the future, maybe you could obtain express written consent before you go off willy-nilly telling boys that I'm pregnant. Or on second thought, maybe you could just not do it at all, OK?

—Joey to Harley

❝

Let's face facts. I mean, you and I, we're headed for 2 very different futures. And the truth is, Joey, you deserve to be with the best guy in the room, not the one who picks up his trash or buses his table

—Eddie
