Quotes[]
Eddie: Tina told me to work on myself and become a better man, so I got you, Journal. Will she be impressed? Evan: My guess is yes. Journaling will show Tina you can indulge your introspective side. Eddie: Hey! It's not cool to read over someone's shoulder, man. Evan: I would never! You were talking out loud. Louis: You were, actually. Emery: We heard every word. Jenny: When you boys turn 21, you can read my journal. Evan: Here's a tip from someone who's been keeping a dream journal for the past six years – Write with your mouth closed. Emery: Evan, we share a room, and I've never seen this journal. Evan: That's because it's private. I hid it. You can be... a little nosy. |
Jessica: Behold... the youngest student at Orlando State University. Jenny: Prove it. Jessica: Fine. Youngest-looking. Same difference. |
Eddie: Hey. Tina's your sister. Help me out. Just tell me what she likes. Trent: Lately, all she can talk about is Sex and the City. At first, I was worried she was following Trish down her dark path. But turns out, it's just a TV show. |
Eddie: Thanks again for letting me watch your HBO, Uncle Marvin. Marvin: Are you kidding? I should be thanking you for introducing me to this pun-tastic look at the lives and loves of these crazy Sex and the City gals. Yeah. Eddie: Honestly, I don't know why Tina likes this show. All they do is eat brunch, walk to brunch, or miss a brunch. Feels like a lot of brunches. Marvin: Well, I know what I like about this show, and it's right there in the title. The city. Eddie: Oh, thank God. |
Emery: Don't tell Evan I was snooping. Jenny: I don't talk to that kid unless I have to. |
Eddie: I just can't believe my friends. I had the perfect plan to get Tina back, and they wouldn't help me. My crew should support me like Carrie's crew supports her. Marvin: Yeah. These gals would do anything for Carrie. Eddie: Exactly! Yeah. You think Miranda would leave Carrie in the lurch to go to some dumb arcade? Hell no! Miranda's ride-or-die. Marvin: Yeah. Heck, they all are, for each other. Look, Eddie. You know, the more I watch this show, the more I see it's not about sex or brunch or even New York City. It's about these four friends. Eddie: I guess so. And Manolo, whoever that is. Marvin: Yeah. They're always gonna be there for each other. Have you always been there for your boys? That's what makes a crew a crew. |
Eddie: I couldn't help but wonder... In trying to become a better man for Tina, did I end up becoming a bad friend to my boys? |
Louis: I can't believe you'd rather spend money on school than our retirement! I mean, school sucks! That's what the majority of graffiti is about! |
Evan: Sorry, Grandma. It's not you who I want to destroy. Emery: I can't take this anymore! Why do you want to kill me? Evan: What makes you say that, dear brother? Emery: Because I read your dream journal, okay? I die in all of your dreams. Evan: Aha! I knew it. But there's one thing you didn't count on. That journal was a fake. I planted it to teach you a lesson. Maybe now you'll respect my privacy. Emery: So you didn't actually dream those horrible things? You spent hours imagining them and writing them in a fake journal? That's worse. Evan: I didn't write it. Grandma did. |
Tina: Hey, Eddie. Trent told me how you VIP'ed your friends at the arcade. That was really cool of you. Eddie: What good is a greased rib if you can't grease a palm or two? Tina: Um, Trent also said you've been watching a lot of Sex and the City. And Manolo? That's a shoe. Eddie: Oh, God. That makes so much more sense. Tina: Want to hang out tomorrow, talk "SATC"? Eddie: I'd love to, but I got big brunch plans with my crew. Rain check? |
