## Nina Borowski

* Don't open the door for any gas men. Unless you think either one of us would be interested.
* I like guys a lot, but I'm not going to waste my time with some guy that doesn't see things the way I do... I mean do you really need this guy?
* I want you to be with me, I want you to marry me, I want you to love me the way that I love you.
* You don't tell a woman that you love her and then two days later bring Romeo over to sleep with him.
* You have to pick one person and make it work.
* Freud didn't know DICK about women.
* I want to look at you and not feel so hurt by you.
* Head up, young person.

## George Hanson

* I'm simple, that's why I teach first grade.

## Rodney Fraser

* Don't fix your life so that you're left alone right as you come to the middle of it.
* One shouldn't be too hard on oneself when the object of one's affection returns the favor with rather less enthusiasm than one might have hoped.

## Constance Miller

* I enjoy gay people, but I just have a slight problem with my pregnant sister being in love with one of them.

## Other

* Sidney Miller: If I wasn't happily married and you weren't my wife's stepsister, I'd have an affair with you in a second.
* Sidney Miller: I swear, I'm hotter than a goat in China.
* Dr. Robert Joley: We're too young to settle for a twin-bedded friendship.
