Tyron Leitso: Eric Gotts

Quotes 

• Eric Gotts : [kissing with Jaye]  You taste good.

  Jaye Tyler : I do?

  Eric Gotts : Mm-hmm. You know, I read this thing about saliva and saliva compatibility. If someone tastes good, they have compatible saliva. If someone tastes bad, um, you probably shouldn't be kissing them.

  Jaye Tyler : [a zoo worker shushes them]  I love how you brought me to the zoo for our first official date. All the animals are safely penned, and none of them talk.

• Jaye Tyler : This all must seem a little odd, but, um, as a person who champions love at every turn, I'm here to say that it really isn't...

  Eric Gotts : I don't think it's odd.

  Jaye Tyler : You don't?

  Eric Gotts : It's the most romantic thing I've ever heard of.

  Jaye Tyler : Really? My love-saving nature doesn't bother you?

  Eric Gotts : Define "bother".

  Jaye Tyler : Well, just so you know, this isn't an isolated incident. Things like bird attacks and abduction happen to me all the time. And if it's not birds, it's a lion or a monkey, and then there's that fish.

  [Eric kisses her] 

  Jaye Tyler : What I'm trying to say is that there is constant interruption.

  [kissing again] 

  Jaye Tyler : I don't scare you?

  Eric Gotts : Only in a good way.

• Eric Gotts : [sneaking into the zoo after-hours]  So, this isn't really a private showing, is it?

  Jaye Tyler : Uh, no. Not so much a private show as a federal offense. We're here to steal an endangered species and then force them to have sex.

  Penelope : Not stealing. Liberating.

• Eric Gotts : [not really listening to a zoo tour guide]  What was that about not mating?

  Muse : [speaking to Jaye through a bird on a billboard]  Take a picture. It'll last longer.

  Jaye Tyler : I can't.

  Eric Gotts : Huh? Why? What are you afraid of?

  Jaye Tyler : Afraid? I'm not afraid.

  Muse : Take a picture. Take a picture. Take a picture.

  Jaye Tyler : Though maybe you should be.

  Eric Gotts : Why would I be afraid of you?

  Muse : Take a picture. It'll last longer. It'll last longer. Take a picture.

  Jaye Tyler : [reluctantly]  All right, all right. God.

  [going over to a group of tourists, she takes one's camera and randomly snaps the lens] 

  Jaye Tyler : Happy?

  [startled by the camera flash, a macaw attacks her] 

  Jaye Tyler : Whoa! Ow! Get... ow!

• Eric Gotts : This is so romantic, coming back to the zoo. Picking up our date where we left off.

  Jaye Tyler : Yeah.

  Eric Gotts : Uh, but you, uh, don't maybe wanna come back when it's open? I'm pretty sure sneaking in's against the law.

  Penelope : We answer to a higher law.

  Eric Gotts : We do?

  Jaye Tyler : Love. Love is our higher law. And we're here to save it. Not that it was ever in any danger from me.

• Eric Gotts : Lauren and Humphrey are smart birds. Maybe they'll come back.

  Penelope : They're hyacinth macaws, not homing pigeons.
