Quotes 

• Kevin Pearson : She hung up on me.

  Sophie : What, that theater critic's assistant?

  Kevin Pearson : Well, not "that" theater critic. *The* theater critic. The Times, right? Shows live or die based on what Brandon Novak writes about them, which is why I need him to come to opening night of my play, but he won't come to opening night of my play because he already came to opening night and I wasn't there, so...

  Sophie : Well, can't you just explain what happened?

  Kevin Pearson : No, I'm not... I can't, you know, tell them Randall's business. He's been through enough, so that's that.

  Sophie : Aw. You know, you're... you're kind of sexy when you're loyal.

  Kevin Pearson : Really?

  Sophie : Yup

  Kevin Pearson : Oh. Because I give money to the same charity every year, you know?

  Sophie : You're not sexy when you brag about it.

• Kevin Pearson : What are you doing back here?

  Sophie : I'm sorry, am I destroying your focus?

  Kevin Pearson : No. No, no, no, this is great.

  Sophie : Okay. Just came to give you this.

  Kevin Pearson : [she hands him a crutch]  It's what I always wanted.

  Sophie : It's a crutch.

  Kevin Pearson : I know what it is.

  Sophie : For when you break your leg.

  Kevin Pearson : Break a leg, okay. Yeah. Ha.

  Sophie : Well, the ER staff thought it was hysterical.

• Sophie : So... Novak?

  Kevin Pearson : Oh, yeah, Novak was a no-show.

  Sophie : Oh...

  Kevin Pearson : It doesn't matter. You know?

  Sophie : But you've been talking about it for days.

  Kevin Pearson : It's because I thought the play was the only thing that mattered. You know? looked out at that crowd tonight, I saw an empty seat. It made me sad, I'm not gonna lie to you. But then I saw the other seats. You know, I saw my family and... I saw you all the way back there and I realized I didn't come to New York to be in a hit play. I came back to New York to win back my girl. My girl who would drag a crutch all the way across town after a twelve hour shift for a stupid joke.

  Sophie : Fourteen hour shift.

  Kevin Pearson : Okay.

  Sophie : Great joke.

  Kevin Pearson : I'm not messing things up with you again. And however long it takes me to convince you of that, I... I'll just wait. I came here for you, Sophie.
