Quotes 

• Alison Parker Armstrong : Is Natalie in there?

  Jake Hanson : Why is it that every time a girl doesn't show up at night, people think she's at my apartment?

  Alison Parker Armstrong : Is she?

• Jake Hanson : Kelly?

  Kelly Taylor : Jake. Why didn't you return any of my calls? I left a bunch of messages for you. Didn't you get them?

  Jake Hanson : Yeah. I was just busy working on this house, that's all.

  Kelly Taylor : Jake, if you don't wanna see me then I guess that's something I'll have to deal with. But don't you think you owe me some kind of explanation? I mean, three weeks ago you show up at my mom's wedding and you say let's try to make this work, and the next thing I knew you just disappeared.

  Jake Hanson : Kelly, I was there as your date. I don't remember us planning our future together.

  Kelly Taylor : Don't tell me you didn't feel anything.

  Jake Hanson : What do you want me to do? Spend my summer hanging out at the Beverly Hills Beach Club with you and your friends?

  Kelly Taylor : I don't know. But I... I just wish you'd just stop avoiding me. It's making me crazy.

• Kelly Taylor : Look, if you think I'm some stupid lovesick teenager making a fool of myself, then why don't you just tell me, okay, and I will leave. But if you really feel something for me, and you're afraid of it because you think you're too old and I'm too young. Well, I don't care what anybody thinks about us, Jake. And I don't know why you do, either.

  Jake Hanson : I don't. I'm just trying to do what's right.

  Kelly Taylor : What's right is what you feel. Otherwise, you're just lying to yourself.

  Jake Hanson : Yeah, well sometimes you got to lie to yourself once in a while just to keep life running smoothly.

• Sandy Louise Harling : Jake, I have just decided that if you're gonna date high school girls, I'm gonna date high school boys. Starting with this one.

  [to Steve] 

  Sandy Louise Harling : You're cute.

  Steve Sanders : Steve Sanders.

  Sandy Louise Harling : Hi. Sandy. So, where you all from, anyway?

  Jake Hanson : Beverly Hills.

  Sandy Louise Harling : Oh, Beverly Hills. Handsome and rich.

  [about Kelly] 

  Sandy Louise Harling : Is she from Beverly Hills too?

  Steve Sanders : Yeah.

  Sandy Louise Harling : Well, I do believe I'm beginning to get the picture.

  Jake Hanson : Sandy's an actress. Don't believe anything she says.

  Sandy Louise Harling : Shut up, Jake.

  Steve Sanders : You know, my Mom's an actress. Samantha Sanders.

  Sandy Louise Harling : Like the Samantha Sanders from Hartley House? Oh my God. Well, I would do just anything to meet her.

  Steve Sanders : Let me give you my number, and maybe you can drop by this weekend.

• Sandy Louise Harling : When it comes to women, you just don't think with your brain. I know that from first hand experience, remember? You probably don't.

  Jake Hanson : Of course I do.
