There's nothing better than a great romance... to ruin a perfectly good friendship. (taglines) Emily When you look at me, do you see your mom? [After kissing] Don't (say anything), you'll ruin it. Honestly, if you're not willing to sound stupid you don't deserve to be in love. First of all, why would I get myself mixed up with a guy who I know first hand would jump into an airplane bathroom with the first girl that comes a-knocking? Oliver Emily, I'm flat broke. I don't have a job. I don't have a plan. And I know, I know I'm probably six years too late, but will you give me strike one back? [annoyed] Gabe the babe. The thing is, how can I be there for her if I don't even have my thing figured out? You know? Well, if it wasn't love, it was a lot like it. My brother's deaf, Em. I can go days without talking. Ellen God, Oliver! You are such a dick! C'mon, let's just start without him! Dialogue Graham: [pointing to his son] You should get one. Oliver: That was the plan. Instead, I'm almost 30, unemployed, and living with mom and dad. Graham: Oliver. This is your life. Right now. It doesn't wait for you to get back on your feet. Emily: This is your trip, it's happening right now [Takes Oliver's camera and takes a picture of her crotch] Oliver: [sarcastically] Oh Great! All the places I've traveled! Oliver: What's your stance on pancakes? Emily: I am pro-pancakes. Taglines There's nothing better than a great romance... to ruin a perfectly good friendship.
