• Don't go looking for Mr. Right. Look for Mr. Right Now. And eventually, if he's worthy, then one day that "now" part is just going to drop away.. naturally. You know.

Dialogue

Christina: And what if Jane is the girl of your dreams, and you'll never know.

Peter: That is the sweetest thing. I never thought I'd meet the girl of my dreams by having somebody grab me in a bar and say, "Hey, you, man, I have good woman for you. She is very hot and sweet. She is there. Jane, you dance for the man!"

Christina: If I'm bah-jiggity about this guy Peter, it's only because you're telling me I am.

Courtney: Oh, my God.

Christina: What?

Courtney: You've named the puppy.

Gramps: Should have poked her in the whiskers when you had the chance.

Roger: What's that, Gramps?

Gramps: I met this hot young dish at the World's Fair back in 1940. Every moment with her was like a slice of heaven.

Peter: I bet you really miss Grandma, huh?

Gramps: Ah, fuck Grandma.

Christina: I'm such an idiot.

Courtney: No, you're not.

Christina: I meet a guy for two minutes and I'm chasing after him like he's something special.

Courtney: Well, maybe you want someone special for once, you know? Maybe you were thinkin' that you were tired of the game.

Christina: You tired of the game?

Courtney: Yep.

Peter: I'd be careful with those fat-free chips. They cause anal leakage.

Roger: You cause anal leakage.

Christina: I did come to your wedding because I wanted to see you again. Because the feeling is mutual, and you'd better be a really good kisser. [Christina and Peter kiss.] Wow. That was weak.

Peter: Weak?

Christina: It's okay. You can try again.
