Quotes 

• Tom : You remember I just got fired, right? You don't even want to know why?

  Jordan : Nope. And

  [whispering] 

  Jordan : I wouldn't keep bringing that up while you're job hunting.

• Sarah : He's got kind of a temper.

  Tom : What kind of temper?

  Sarah : The kind that got a LOT better after "somebody"

  [indicates herself] 

  Sarah : threw a brick through his windshield that said, "Stop beating your wife, you weak ass motherfucker."

• Sarah : When I saw you, I thought "he's the best one over there. Of all the boys coming and going in that house, he's the best one. But he's also the one who'll break your heart." Because I know myself. I know how to pick 'em.

  [sighs] 

  Sarah : I'm right, aren't I? You'd break my heart? If I let you?

  Tom : I...

  Sarah : Let me guess, you wouldn't mean to?

  Tom : I wouldn't want to.

• Jordan : I wasn't hitting on you! I just offered to buy you a drink.

  Tom : So your plan was to hit on me AFTER I'd been drinking?

  Jordan : Would that increase my chances of success?

• Tom : I still can't believe people pay for this stuff.

  Kai : Every month; though not enough for half the stuff they ask for. It's like, buddy, I'm gonna need to see a few more zeros on that tip screen if I'm gonna shame my mama like that.

• Sarah : Lost?

  Tom : Yeah, I can't tell if it's the brown building, near the brown houses with the desert in the distance over there; or the brown building, near the brown houses, with the desert in the distance over there.

• Sarah : Have you ever made a bad choice?

  Tom : [laughing]  Only all the time!

  Sarah : No, like a bad choice. The kind that haunts you everywhere you go?

  Tom : [seriously, this time]  Only all the time.

• Tom : So... your mom?

  Sarah : She yelled. I yelled back. It's always the same. "You need to get your life together!"

  Tom : You seem pretty together to me.

  Sarah : Appearances can be deceiving!

• Tom : I feel like livestock.

  Jordan : Like I'm grading you for something? Well, get used to it. That's kind of how things work around here.
