Character Quotes
  • Samantha Borgens: If love is setting a place at the table for someone who is never coming home, I think I’ll pass.
  • Samantha Borgens: You make me feel less cynical.
  • Samantha Borgens: There are two kinds of people in this world: hopeless romantics and realists.
    Rusty Borgens: Right.
    Samantha Borgens: A realist just sees that face and packs it in with every other pretty girl they’ve ever seen before. The hopeless romantic becomes convinced that God put them on Earth to be with that one person. But there is no God and life is only as meaningful as you fool yourself into thinking it is. Guys who get laid a lot are realists. You should be listening.
  • Samantha Borgens: Just avoid love at all costs. That’s my motto.
  • Samantha Borgens: I don’t wanna get hurt.
    Lou: I’m not gonna hurt you.
