• Duncan McDermott : Kit, I hate to bring it up with this sumptuous repast, but it looks as if you're drinking a glass of puke.

  Kit McDermott : You'd know.

• Kit McDermott : How do I look?

  Duncan McDermott : Like shit. Go get her.

• Beverly Young : Are you coming to my wedding?

  Kit McDermott : Oh, I don't... I don't have anything to wear.

  Beverly Young : That's okay.

  Kit McDermott : You mean I don't have to wear anything?

• Duncan McDermott : Drinking? Taking dope? Harassing innocent people? I am SHOCKED at your behavior. And to think you wanted me, an impressionable youth...

  Kit McDermott : Shut up.

  Duncan McDermott : Well, thank heavens I crawled up with a good book instead.

• Kit McDermott : There are no small towns, just small people.

• Duncan McDermott : You know, when you think about it...

  Kit McDermott : Uh-oh, Duncan's thinking.

  Duncan McDermott : ..."fuck you" isn't such a bad thing to say to somebody. I mean, it's kind of sweet. It's like saying, "I love you," only it's more... hip.

  Brian McDermott : Duncan, don't you ever shut up?

  Duncan McDermott : No, this is important. This is serious. I mean, half of the world is going around saying something to the other half and they don't even know it's a compliment. I mean, my God, this is a linguistic breakthrough!

  Kit McDermott : Danger. Philosopher crossing over here.

  Duncan McDermott : What a night! They'll talk about this for years to come. It'll change the way the world thinks, like the theory of relativity or... or the discovery of gravity. "Fuck you" is GOOD! Brian! Fuck you! Kit! Fuck you, too!

  Kit McDermott : Yeah, yeah. Eloquently put, anyway, right?

  Brian McDermott : Yes, indeed.
