- Maggie Novak: Didn't you wear that sweater yesterday?
- Sydney Novak: Yeah, Mom. I did... 'cause I'm disgusting.

- Stanley Barber: What could be more tragic, more Shakespearean? Think about it. The moment the lights come up on Hamlet, you know it's not gonna end well. Take, um, Mr. Bradley Lewis. His best case scenario is, what, managing some regional insurance sales company where he gets to, I don't know, call the shots on Employee of the Month? I mean, these are the people that will actually attend the five/ten/twenty-year reunion, because, aside from this, nothing else all that noteworthy is gonna happen. This is as good as it gets for them, and I like watching 'em, like Hamlet, and when everything goes to shit in the end, then everyone dies.
- Dina: I sort of promised Brad I would go to the pep rally with him, so...
- Sydney Novak: But... isn't the pep rally for people like...
- Dina: People like what, Syd?
- Sydney Novak: People with, you know... pep.
- Maggie Novak: Listen, I need you to do some shopping for me today 'cause we're about to run out of... everything.
- Sydney Novak: No, thanks.
- Maggie Novak: I wasn''t asking.
- Sydney Novak: [checking over the grocery list] How'm I supposed to bring all this home?
- Maggie Novak: However you got it home last time.
- Sydney Novak: In exchange for... sexual favors... with strangers. Got it.
- Sydney Novak: Why are you still talking to me?
- Stanley Barber: 'Cause everyone else in this town's boring.
- Sydney Novak: My eyes felt heavy. My mind felt... empty. I wasn't worried about groceries or Mom or Dina or even maybe losing my mind.
