Quotes
-
Jo Polniaczek : You lied to your grandparents, you lied to your parents, you're really on a roll.
Natalie Green : It's called survival. Can you imagine how much fun a weekend with grandma would be?
Blair Warner : Oh please, with my mother's 3 marriages I'm an expert on grandparents. When they all come over at Christmastime, it sounds like a bunch of antique cars warming up.
[coughs and hacks]
Jo Polniaczek : I never got to know my grandparents, they all died on me.

Jo Polniaczek : Hey where's your grandma?
Natalie Green : She's driving me crazy, that's where she is. Can you imagine a woman of her age trying to tell me how to run my love life?
Jo Polniaczek : Oh yeah, she's a real troublemaker. Well I'll tell you, you don't want her, I'll take her, cuz' I could use a grandma.
Natalie Green : Oh yeah you're the type, you'd just love to have some old lady give you advice, pinch your cheeks, worry you're gonna fall off your motorcycle.
Jo Polniaczek : Yeah, I can handle that. At least grandmas don't look for angles like other people, I mean they don't ask for a thing from ya, all they want to do is love you. I'll see you later.
