[edit]- [On TRL in 2000]
- Young Summer: I'm Summer and the media trainer said to repeat the question in my answer, so why don't you introduce yourself Summer thanks Carson I'm Summer!
- Gloria: Just to get ahead of it, it's me—
- Wickie: Gloria. I know. I used context clues.
- Wickie: Music was never my bag anyway. Bags are my bag, because I'm launching a bag line. They're bat leather and they're tiny, like bats.

[edit]- Kev: [doing a Tampa local entertainment news segment] Hey, what's up? I'm here with an exclusive look at the flight path celebrities often take when flying from Los Angeles to Miami, passing over Tampa completely.
- Larry: I was wrong, there's not zero interest in Girls5eva. ...I got a call. Eric Trump Casino University needs someone to play between MMA fights while they mop up blood. Four grand minus my 80 percent. BYO-mop.
- Girls5eva: [singing "Dream Girlfriends"]
- Low-rise jeans with a one-tooth zipper

- You'll never have to meet them and get asked why you left school
- Dream girlfriends, no pushback
- 'Cause our moms are over-tired, and hoping for the best
- We've got the kind of birth control that goes in our arm
- And tell me again why Tarantino's a genius
- You'll never want to wake up from us
- We’re short, so we don't know that you're bald
- Nick: It's not a van, all right? For tax purposes it's 10 wheelchairs.
Alf Musik [1.3]
[edit]- Wickie: [waitressing] Hello, I'm new here, I'm not telling you my name. Our special today is penne alla vodka and Red Bull, and our soup is Italian divorce, I'll be back with your NDAs.
- Gloria: [about Dawn's young son Max] He's a classic New York Lonely Boy.
- Dawn: What?
- Gloria: New York Lonely Boy. A son born to older parents who's more comfortable around adults than kids. Yeah, they're all over the city, eating sushi. They usually wear a fedora, high-fiving a doorman.
- Dawn: That sounds like some Manhattan shit. We're Queens people. Our heat comes from one really hot vertical pipe.
- Gloria: Well, they're in all the boroughs. Except Staten Island, 'cause there's never been an only child from there.
- Dawn: How do you know about this?
- Gloria: Half my patients have one. But you're in good company: John Slattery has one, Kyle MacLachlan has one, Matthew Broderick is one.
- . . .
- John Slattery: Sorry, I didn't mean to bother you, but it looks like you've got yourself a real New York Lonely Boy there.
- Dawn: Um, yeah, uh, I guess I do, John Slattery.
- John Slattery: All I can say is, congratulations. A New York Lonely Boy is the greatest gift a parent could ask for.
- Dawn: It is?
- John Slattery: Heck yeah. I had five siblings. I was too busy fighting for food to develop a single goddamn interest. But this kid, he teaches us things. He know Mandarin, he make sourdough bread, he makes these little movies—
- Talia Balsam: Oh with the marionettes, it's very imaginative.
- John Slattery: Yeah, he loves museums.
- Talia Balsam: Oh, he's really good at a dinner party
- John Slattery: [to his son] What was that thing you said the other night?
- Harry Slattery: Never trust a restaurant on a corner.
- John Slattery: He's right! They always phone it in. Every day's like Father's Day, he's our best friend.
- Talia Balsam: Don't worry, they don't stay lonely forever. Before you know it they're dating a 23-year-old named Lucy; she's a landscape architect but she, she also submits fiction to the New Yorker.
- Dawn: So I won't ruin my son by not having another baby?
- Talia Balsam: No. If anything, the baby will ruin him.
- Alf Musik: You have a problem with my song? I worked quite hard on it. 40 minutes—20 metric.
- Wickie: No, it's fire. I was thinking of adding a "woah oh oh oh" right before "Cram it wherever."
Catskills [1.5]
[edit]- [After Summer makes a few unhelpful suggestions during a songwriting session]
- Wickie: Hey Summer, you know what would be a huge help? Would you make the salad?
- Summer: Oh, I'm good. I smelled a MacDonald's on the way up, so I can stay and collab.
- Wickie: Or you could go and collab, because behind every great song is an even better salad. Tell her, Dawn.
- Dawn: Yes. John was only able to write "Come Together" once he knew... Paul was... handling the salad.
- Summer: Huh! Is that true?
- Wickie: Yeah, five sure!
- Wickie: This weekend is about Jingle Ball, and I'm worried—
- Summer: —That she's gonna Yoko the salad!
- Dawn and Wickie: [singing during their writing session] We are / Stronger than the best!
- Daphne: Oh.
- Wickie: What?
- Daphne: No, no, I like it. But if you're stronger than the best, wouldn't that make you the best? So why are they still the best?
- Wickie: I think we just became stronger than the best during the song, so technically we are the best now; it's just not reflected in the rankings yet.
- Daphne: Why?
- Wickie: Because they come out on Mondays.
- [Later]
- Summer: Oh, you roll your eyes at my ideas just because they're terrible, but your ideas are not great. "Stronger than the best?" What does that even mean?
- Wickie: [angrily] The song explains it, it hinges on paperwork!

[edit]- [During an entertainment news segment c. 2000]
- Presenter: Summer of Girls5eva.
- Young Summer: Yeah.
- Presenter: Let's talk about your music career: are you a virgin?
- Young Summer: Yes. I made a promise to myself, and my parents, and my God. That's why I wear this purity ring. I want my wedding night to be special because we're probably gonna be in a Hyatt.
- Presenter: Next up, we ask the guys of Matchbox Twenty about singing and playing instruments.
B.P.E. [2.6]
[edit]- Wickie: If you wanted the solo why didn't you just come out and say it like a normal person?
- Dawn: Why didn't you just offer, like a normal person? Even Paul lets George do his own thing sometimes!
- Wickie: Because Paul George is one basketball man, Dawn; you're not making sense!
- Wickie: Boy you're slow at following. If you were a baby duck and I was your adult duck, you'd be eaten by a hawk.
- Dawn: I need to go down to the restaurant and count fish heads to make sure my chef isn't robbing me of fish torsos, because I am my grandmother's daughter!
- Wickie: [scoffs] No, you're not! Your mom is!
Returnity [2.7]
[edit]- Doctor: All right, if I draw some blood, will you, and I'm asking as your doctor, get the fuck out of here?
