Sandy: Ask me while you're giving me the massage. I'm inclined to say yes.

Kirsten: (to Julie about the magazine cover) Oh my. There's so much you here.

Sandy: Okay, honey, I don't want to alarm you, but there's a giant Julie Cooper on the table.

Seth: Ryan, my girlfriend hooked up with a girl. There's only one thing to do in this situation.
Zach: You're gonna hook up with a guy?
