"Why don't you just tell Alison that you used to have a crush on Nicole?"
"It's too late. I should've told her before. Now it's gonna seem like I'm hiding something. What if they run into each other? [...] What am I gonna do?"
"Eddie, look, all we got to do is... We gotta keep 'em separated.
"

Brian Pew and Eddie Huang

Quotes[]

Honey: Doesn't it feel a little weird, hiding from your husband like this?
Deb: Here we go.
Jessica: Louis is great but ever since he stopped staying late to close the restaurant, he's just been around a lot more and sometimes, you just want girl time.
Deb: Mmm-hmm.
Brian: All the ladies in here are fully clothed.
Eddie: Hey, you see Whitney in your mailbox, you grab her and go.
Alison: I get it. She's like your Mario Van Peebles.
Jessica: Louis is hanging out with another woman?!
Honey: You're overreacting. It's fine.
Jessica: It is inappropriate for an adult to have a friend of the opposite sex. My parents never had that. Can you imagine my mom saying, "Travis and I are going to the movies"?
Honey: Who's Travis?
Jessica: There is no Travis. That's the point!
Honey: Jessica, it's the '90s. It's normal to have friends of the opposite sex. In... In fact, Marvin and I were friends for months before... We got to see this bitch.
Jessica: This must be Tony. Why did your parents name you that? That's a man's name. It's very misleading.
Tony: It's short for Antonia.
Jessica: How convenient.
Tony: You must be Jessica, Louis' wife. He's told me so much about you.
Jessica: Oh, really? Did he mention my gender? Do you just hang around pool halls hoping to meet men?
Tony: No, I just love playing pool, and most people who play are men. It's more like I hang around men trying to pick up pool halls.
Jessica: You have no power here, witch.
Tony: Excuse me?
Jessica: You heard me, demon.
Eddie: So, I was hanging by the buses today and I saw you talking with Nicole.
Alison: Oh. Yeah, we met on the couch in the bathroom. She said she liked my backpack, and we started talking.
Eddie: So, uh, no big surprises or anything? Um... no big reveals?
Alison: No, nothing like that. She was just really cool. I totally get why you had a crush on her.
Eddie: Whaaaaat?
Alison: It's cool. She's badass.
Eddie: Wait, so, you're not mad?
Alison: Fart, no. You and I are cool. Besides, that was before we even knew each other. We don't care about old crushes.
Eddie: Of course we don't! That's what I'm sayin'.
Alison: It's like how you don't care about my old crush on Dave.
Eddie: ...Dave who?
Alison: Dave. Your best friend, Dave. I saw him feeding a squirrel once and thought it was cute.
Jessica: Okay, I lied about Mitch to get you out of that pool hall.
Louis: What? You're the one who told me to go there in the first place!
Jessica: Yes, because I thought you were going to meet a guy friend!
Louis: So I can't be friends with a woman? That's ridiculous. I'm around women all day here.
Jessica: That's different. That's during the day, at work.
Louis: So I can never be around a woman outside of work?
Jessica: That's not what I'm saying. That would be crazy. All I am saying is, if you're going to hang out with a woman, it has to be when the sun is up. And she can't be taller than me. Or younger than me. Or weigh less than me. Or look like she weighs less than me. Also, you can't share food. Okay, I guess if you're stranded and you have to share food, then clear soups or broths only. And you will display your wedding band close to your face at all times. Photos of your children must be present if they themselves cannot be. If she happens to touch you, even if by accident, you will excuse yourself and call me immediately. If she has smoky eye makeup, that is bad. If she has a lazy eye, that's good.
Louis: Jessica...
Jessica: You must always travel in separate vehicles. Going back, lazy eye is out. It encourages eye contact. And she must never have ever been or even wanted to be a gymnast. Oh, and this goes without saying, but no Denzel movies.
Louis: I have no interest in Tony other than playing pool.
Jessica: That's how it starts, though, that connection. I've fallen asleep during enough Meg Ryan movies.
Dave: I was just telling Alison about how–
Eddie: You had that thing for Jasmine from Aladdin?
Dave: Hey, I told you that in private! I just think she's symmetrical.
Eddie: You know, I don't think this is a good idea, you two hanging out.
Dave: Why not?
Alison: Eddie.
Eddie: Fun fact, Alison. That squirrel you saw Dave pet? It actually bit him, and he's been trying to trap it ever since. That's what this whole thing is. Too bad you didn't make a Dad trap, huh, Dave?
