  Ben : God I hope so.

  [Moves his finger in circles next to his head, to indicate that he thinks Andie is crazy]

• Andie : [crying at restaurant after waitress asks if everything is okay]  My boyfriend thinks I'm fat!

  [flicks food at Ben] 

  Andie : And I can't eat in front of him! I can't eat in front of you! I have to go to the bathroom.

  Ben : [receives dirty looks from other customers]  Honey, I don't think you're fat! I don't think she's fat!

• Michelle Rubin : Oh, you are never going to pull this off.

  Jeannie Ashcroft : You're not going to burn his apartment down or bite him, or anything?

  Andie : No! I'm going to limit myself to doing everything girls do wrong in relationships. Basically, everything we know guys hate. I'll be clingy, needy...

  Jeannie Ashcroft : Be touchy-feely.

  Andie : Yeah.

  Jeannie Ashcroft : Ooh, call him in the middle of the night and tell him everything you had to eat that day.

  Michelle Rubin : What's wrong with that?

  [Andie & Jeanie stare at Michelle] 

  Michelle Rubin : I'm kidding.

• Andie : I don't think I can be with someone who doesn't like animals and thinks I'm a mental person

  [waves her fingers and goes cross eyed] 

• [Andie starts crying when Ben places food in front of her] 

  Ben : Hey, what's wrong?

  Andie : Nothing. It's beautiful.

  Ben : Thank you.

  Andie : You're beautiful. The game, the whole thing. It's just... I wish I ate meat. Mary had a little lamb, little lamb... You have to take it away before I gag.

  [Andie dry heaves] 

• Andie : Does Krull the Warrior King want to come out and play?

  Ben : No.

  Andie : Krull...

  Ben : You know what, due to intense humiliation, the king has momentarily abdicated his throne, okay?

  Andie : Oh. Uh-oh!

  Ben : Yeah.

  Andie : Well, in that case, I better get going. Take care of our love fern, honey.

• Andie : I'm taking this love fern with me!

• Andie : I have to crack this guy. I mean this is Defcon 5, and I have to do something truly appalling. It's not funny.

  [Michelle and Jeanie laugh even harder] 

• Andie : Why do they always forget my bacon?

  Jeannie Ashcroft : I can't believe you got that guy knocked out.

  Andie : Only for a few seconds.

  Lana Jong : Andie, I am loving your notes on this piece.

  Andie : [with her mouth full]  Thank you, Lana.

  Lana Jong : When are you seeing him again?

  Andie : Tonight. He's inviting me over to his house for dinner.

  Lana Jong : Excellent! I've got a feeling about this one.

  Michelle Rubin : I hate it when she pops her head in like that.

  Andie : I never noticed it.

  Lana Jong : A-hem. I heard that. And Andie, tonight take smaller bites.

  Andie : Thank you, Lana.

  Michelle Rubin : Oh, my God!

  Jeannie Ashcroft : Disgusting! I can barely eat over here.

  [Andie takes an even bigger bite] 

• Thayer : We, you know, we got a whole bunch of work we have to do, but we're still on for poker at your house this weekend?

  Ben : Oh, you count on it.

  Andie : Whoo! Boys' night.

  Tony : Whoo!

• Andie : Like, do blondes, like, do they really have more fun?

• Ben : Jesus! Five seconds ago I'm gay. Now I'm a pathological flirt.

  Andie : I sweat when I get nervous.

  Ben : Which one is it, Andie?

  Ben : Besides, why would I need to hit on another woman?

  Ben : You've got more than enough personalities to keep me completely occupied.

  Andie : That was hurtful.
