Penn Badgley: Joel Larsen
Quotes
-
Joel Larsen : Next thing I knew, we were going out against my will. She just kept putting notes in my locker and told everyone we were a couple. If her family hadn't moved to Texas, we probably would've been married by now.
Pat Brody : And I just let it happen? I apologize for being the bad friend I haven't been yet.
-
Joel Larsen : Hey! Just because we're not here, doesn't mean you and Dad can't get dressed up.
Karen Larsen : Well, that could be fun.
Bill Larsen : Now look what you did!
Joel Larsen : Come on, Dad, it's Halloween!
Karen Larsen : Yeah, Bill, what do you say?
Bill Larsen : Okay, terrific. I'm gonna go as a guy who just got home from work and can't wait to read the paper. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm getting into my costume.

[Joel comes down down the stairs and dances a Ghostbusters dance]
Joel Larsen : Who are you gonna call?
Bill Larsen : I don't get it. What are you?
Joel Larsen : [offended] I'm a Ghostbuster!
Pat Brody : What's a Ghostbuster?
Joel : [voice over] Apparently a movie that hasn't come out yet.
-
Joel Larsen : I can't believe I blew my first kiss. Again!
Pat Brody : Isabelle's a friend. She doesn't count.

[Joel and Isabelle dances, without Joel paying attention]
Isabelle Meyers : Can you please stop stepping at my feet and concentrate?
Joel Larsen : [finally looking at her] Oh, you want me to concentrate? Okay.
[Joel puts his hands around Isabelle and starts to dance for real]
Joel : [voice over] And I thought those swing dancing lessons never come in handy. When we start line dancing, I'll be ready for that too.
[keeps dancing, impressing the other party guests]
Isabelle Meyers : Wow, where did that come from?
Joel Larsen : The heart, baby.
Isabelle Meyers : You're full of surprises.
-
Cheryl Larsen : Who are you and where did you learn to dance like that?
Joel Larsen : I'm Joel Larsen and I'm just light in my feet!

Joel Larsen : [gives Isabelle a cookie] Here. Happy two hour anniversary.
Isabelle Meyers : You know, I think we made a great pretend couple.
Joel Larsen : So do I. You're the best fake girlfriend I've ever had.
Isabelle Meyers : [smiling] Thanks. I have to admit, when you made me your girlfriend just so you could avoid Bonnie, I was a little ticked off. But, I've actually had really...
Joel Larsen : [not paying attention] Wait, hold that thought.
Isabelle Meyers : What?
Joel Larsen : Holly. Fighting with her boyfriend.
Isabelle Meyers : So?
Joel Larsen : So, it's the perfect time for me to make my move.
Isabelle Meyers : [suddenly angry] Wait a minute, you're blowing me off?
Joel Larsen : That's good! Argue with me, so she thinks we're breaking up too. We'll be vulnerable, we can comfort each other...
Isabelle Meyers : [now furious] Unbelievable! I told the fauns that I had a boyfriend, and now you're dumping me?
Joel Larsen : Perfect! I think we got her attention now. Do something else.
[Isabelle, who unlike Joel is not acting, throws her drink in his face]
Joel Larsen : [ecstatic] Wow, you are good!
-
Holly Kent : What happened to you?
Joel Larsen : Isabelle and I broke up. It got ugly.
Holly Kent : My boyfriend and I just broke up too.
Joel Larsen : You're kidding! What a rotten coincidence!
-
Joel Larsen : Isabelle, wait! Isabelle, come on.
Isabelle Meyers : Where is Holly?
Joel Larsen : Nah, she was just using me to make her boyfriend jealous.
Isabelle Meyers : [sarcastically] Shocker...
Joel Larsen : I'm sorry I screwed up your night. I don't know when I'm going to grow up. I avoid a girl who likes me only to chase after a girl who's using me, and all the while hurting the girl that means the most to me. I've been a real jerk.
Isabelle Meyers : No, you're just a dumb boy. That excuse is only gonna last you so long.
Joel Larsen : But it works this time!
[pauses]
Joel Larsen : Right?
Isabelle Meyers : [hesitates, then smiles] Yes.
[punches him friendly on his chest]

[last lines]
Isabelle Meyers : Do you think we're gonna grow up, meet new people and drift apart?
Joel Larsen : Nah. We're still friends.
Isabelle Meyers : How can you be so sure?
Joel Larsen : [theatrical] Are you forgetting? I'm Future Man!
[Isabelle laughs. Bill screams in the background, and they both laugh]
