Quotes 

  • Jeremy Geer : Noelle, hi. It's Jeremy. Uh, the guy from the diner. The guy you gave your number to.

    Noelle : Oh, you're going to have to be more specific. I gave my number to a lot of guys today.

    Jeremy Geer : Well, let me see. Um, I'm about six feet tall, brown hair...

    Noelle : Soulful eyes?

    Jeremy Geer : So you do remember me?

    Noelle : Yeah, I do.

    [after a pause] 

    Noelle : Are you there?

    Jeremy Geer : Yeah. Sorry. I must be nervous. Uh, I don't do this very often.

    Noelle : Talk on the phone?

    Jeremy Geer : Well, talk to women out of my league. Unless you count the woman I talk to when I order takeout.

  • Jeremy Geer : [sitting at a table at the diner where Noelle works after his blind date walks out]  Hey. You didn't happen to witness that Shakespearean tragedy, did you?

    Noelle : I did. But she had a very Lady Macbeth vibe. So, what can I get you?

    Jeremy Geer : I think I'm just going to go.

    Noelle : No, come on. You're already here, all dressed up. Might as well eat something.

    Jeremy Geer : You know what? You're right. Dealer's choice.

    Noelle : Okay, but first... .

    [she walks over to help him take off his coat sleeve that he had just struggled with] 

    Noelle : That okay? There you go.

  • Noelle : Jeremy, can I ask you something.

    Jeremy Geer : Absolutely.

    Noelle : I'm a little conflicted... over which cereal to buy. There's just so many choices.

    Jeremy Geer : Yeah. It's a bit of a conundrum, isn't it? Yeah.

    Noelle : If you were having breakfast, what would you pick?

    Jeremy Geer : Well, for me, it's oatmeal. Deep down, I'm really just an 80-year-old man.

    Noelle : Oh, no. There's nothing wrong with oatmeal. Oatmeal is great. I'm just looking for something a bit more exciting.

    Jeremy Geer : Mmm. I did always like Sweet Pops when I was a kid.

    Noelle : Mmm. Got to have my Pops.

    Jeremy Geer : And then there's Frozen Flakes. Always a good choice.

    [they say together] 

    Jeremy Geer : They're great.

    Noelle : Sounds like you watched just as much TV as a kid as I did.

    Jeremy Geer : Yeah. When it comes to cereal, what I look for these days is fiber content. Yeah. I said that out loud, didn't I?

    Noelle : You did, yeah. But I think I'm going to go with... Tiny O's.

    Jeremy Geer : Good choice. Good choice. Has everything you need. Sugar, artificial flavors, and, artificial colors.

  • Noelle : [runs into Jeremy at the store]  Hey, Jeremy, right?

    Jeremy Geer : Yeah, hi.

    Noelle : Hi.

    [he looks at what she's holding, a box of tampons] 

    Noelle : Oh, yeah. I know. Turns out it happens every month. They didn't teach you that in biology class?

    Jeremy Geer : Of course.

  • Noelle : Hey, uh, you know that you're... parked...

    Jeremy Geer : ....handicapped spot. Yeah. I, uh, I have a permit.

    Noelle : I'm sorry.

    Jeremy Geer : It's okay. Honestly, I only try to use the pass when I'm coming in for a minute. Just, uh, picking up some takeout.

    Noelle : What is your name?

    Jeremy Geer : Jeremy.

    Noelle : Jeremy, I'm Noelle.

    [she turns to grab his takeout food bag] 

    Jeremy Geer : Ah, the French word for Christmas.

    Noelle : Ah, a man who knows that. I take it this is your favorite time of year.

    Jeremy Geer : Actually, it's my least favorite.

    Noelle : Okay.

    Jeremy Geer : But, um, Noelle is a beautiful name.

  • Jeremy Geer : You know, I really should have known better to go on a blind date.

    Noelle : Is that what it was? It was a blind date? Oh, I just went on one of those, and to call it disastrous would be an understatement.

    Jeremy Geer : Do tell.

    Noelle : Well, he didn't even pass the smell test.

    Jeremy Geer : Yikes. That bad?

    Noelle : Yeah, I know.

    Jeremy Geer : Well, I'm sure you have plenty of guys looking to take you out, so...

    Noelle : Yeah. Not guys that I want. But let's not forget you are the one on the blind date tonight.

    Jeremy Geer : Was on a blind date. She left. Remember?

    Noelle : You kind of told her to beat it, didn't you?

    Jeremy Geer : Guess I did. But I could read her mind. She did not want to hang out with me.

    Noelle : You can read minds? What am I thinking?

    Jeremy Geer : You're thinking... .this guy better leave one heck of a tip after I rescued him out of his jacket.

    Noelle : I did kind of rescue you, didn't I?

    Jeremy Geer : Yeah, you did.

  • Shannon : I am so sorry about last night.

    Noelle : Oh, it's okay. It's just a good reminder that I should never say yes to a blind date ever again.

    Shannon : Whoa. I don't know about that. Sometimes, you got to roll the dice, right?

    Noelle : Yeah, but I have to be careful. I need to know that I have a connection if I'm going to invest my time with someone.

    Shannon : Is there someone you're feeling that connection with?

    Noelle : I mean, okay. There's this guy. Maybe I'm being delusional, but I really feel like there's something there.

    Shannon : And?

    Noelle : I'll tell you about it later. Henry, get down here. Aunt Shannon's here. I gotta get to work. Thanks so much, as always.

    Shannon : I want to hear more about this guy.

    Noelle : I will tell you all about him, if I ever bump into him again.

  • Noelle : Wait. I thought you had something against Christmas.

    Jeremy Geer : Oh, when I'm with you, all I can think about is Noelle.

    Noelle : Ooh. That's a good one. See you tomorrow.

    Jeremy Geer : I can't wait.

  • Noelle : If you want to call it a night, I totally understand.

    Jeremy Geer : Noelle, I can't think of anything I'd rather do than spend more time with you.

  • Noelle : Skating, bold choice.

    Jeremy Geer : I'm a bold kind of guy. I can't believe you've never been here.

    Noelle : I know. I didn't even know it existed. It's so cool. Yeah, I see you've been doing this a really long time.

    Jeremy Geer : Sort of. I grew up on a lake, so I spent a lot of winters skating. But oddly enough, after my stroke, I actually found it easier. It's a different muscle group, apparently.

    Noelle : [she stops]  You had a stroke?

    [he nods] 

    Noelle : I'm so sorry.

    Jeremy Geer : It turned my life upside down, but I try to keep reminding myself that I'm incredibly lucky. It, uh, could've been worse.

    Noelle : Remembering that is hard to do sometimes.

  • Noelle : Well, in case you forgot, my name...

    Jeremy Geer : ...is Noelle. I remember.

  • Noelle : Remember that guy I told you about who I met?

    Shannon : Yes.

    Noelle : He's here.

    Shannon : What? No way. Where?

    Noelle : Oh, boy. He's gone. But I am telling you there is definitely something there.

    Shannon : Like a spark?

    Noelle : Like a flame.

  • Noelle : I should peel off here and go pick up my son.

    Jeremy Geer : Oh, of course.

    Noelle : But, um, if your symphony does play next year, I'd love to go.

    Jeremy Geer : Well, if it happens, then I'll, uh, I'll reserve the best seat in the house for you. Um, in the meantime, do you think I could maybe take you out to dinner? Kind of hate to think that our next date would be a year from now.

    Noelle : I'd like that.

    Jeremy Geer : Well, name a night because I guarantee you I will be free.

    Noelle : Just with Christmas and juggling my job and Christmas shopping, and my son is my No. 1 priority.

    Jeremy Geer : I completely understand that.

    Noelle : But I do have the lunch shift tomorrow and my son is going to his friend's house tomorrow night, so I guess I'm free. Is that too soon?

    Jeremy Geer : Honestly, it's not soon enough.

  • Noelle : Don't you find classical music can sound a little boring sometimes?

    Jeremy Geer : What? Boring? What? Oh, man. No. I mean, okay. Music like Beethoven, Chopin, Mozart, and contemporary composers like Philip Glass, John Cage? I think it's some of the most beautiful music that's ever been created. It twists. It turns. It kind of takes you on an emotional ride.

    Noelle : Well, when you say it like that, it makes me want to try it again.

  • 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?

  • Jeremy Geer : Your son, Henry, he's a really special kid. He's inspired me to recognize and own up to some of my own faults.

    Noelle : Well, you'll be happy to know that he had some owning up to do of his own.

    Jeremy Geer : Well, I was the adult, and I couldn't see through my own pain to recognize that he was just a kid who's blowing off steam. Anyway, I just wanted to say that. You should be proud.
