Quotes
-
Jeremy Geer : Hey, you can't talk to her like that.
Rocco : Says who?
Jeremy Geer : Says me.
Rocco : Mind your own business. We're having fun. Right, sweetie?
Noelle : No, we're not.
Jeremy Geer : Yeah, I'll mind my own business when you apologize to her.
Rocco : You think I won't swing on you because of your hand?
Jeremy Geer : Go ahead. Take a swing.
[he raises his voice]
Jeremy Geer : But not before you tell everyone in here what you said to this woman.
Rocco : [he turns to Noelle] Your loss.
[he turns back to Jeremy]
Rocco : Whatever. I'm out of here.
Noelle : You did not need to do that.
Jeremy Geer : Pretty sure I did.
Noelle : But what if he'd hit you?
Jeremy Geer : Would have gone down really hard, sprawled out on the floor, bleeding, moaning in pain. If I was even still conscious. Anyway, it would have been a devastating scene.
Noelle : But you were willing to risk it all... to stand up for me?
Jeremy Geer : Well, the way I saw it, it was kind of a win-win. If he'd hit me, you would have felt bad for me, and possibly given me your number out of pity.
Noelle : Is that what you want?
Jeremy Geer : I've been kind of wanting to ask you since I met you. But I'm not trying to put any pressure on you. I do not want to act like that guy, so...
Noelle : You are nothing like that guy.
[she writes down her number and gives it to him]
Jeremy Geer : Okay, I have to warn you. Now that I have this, I'm actually going to call you.
Noelle : You'd better. Don't be one of those guys that waits, like, three days.
Jeremy Geer : Three days? You kidding me? No, I'm more of a six-to-eight months kind of guy. Well, I like to wait until the person has no idea who I am.
Noelle : Or you could just call me tonight.
Jeremy Geer : Yeah, I guess tonight would work.
[he starts to walk away, but forgets his takeout food bag and returns]
Jeremy Geer : That last exit was so smooth, though, right?
