• Luke Girardi : Lischak asked me to do the student science presentation.

• Adam Rove : Jane, did you tell your mom about us at the concert?

  Joan : You didn't notice I was grounded for, like, a week?

  Adam Rove : No, I mean, uh, us. You know, that I wanted us to sleep together.

  Joan : Oh. That.

  Adam Rove : [knowing from her tone of voice]  Oh, my god. I knew it.

  Joan : What do you mean?

  Adam Rove : Jane, she hates me now.

  Joan : Okay, now you're just being paranoid.

  Adam Rove : She asked Nikki Freezer to do the art presentation, okay? She-she paints sunsets over the ocean with... seagulls.

  Joan : Hey! You're lucky I didn't tell my dad, okay? He's the one with the gun.

• Joan : So, I was thinking we'd go for that ice cream later. You know, sneak a couple pounds of it, curl up on the couch and groan.

  Adam Rove : I don't know. Why don't we ask your mom?

  Joan : All right, I'm sorry you're mad that I told her, but she is my mom, and I was confused, and it's a good thing that I can trust her, you know?

  Adam Rove : Fine. But why'd you have to bring me into it?

  Joan : Uh, you were kind of involved in the whole wanting to have sex part.

  Grace Polk : Dude, there are certain images I don't want seared in my brain.

  Adam Rove : Grace, she told her mom.

  Grace Polk : [laughing]  Oh, nice knowing you, Rove.

  Adam Rove : Look, she... she said that her mother was cool, okay, and, you know, and that... that she understood. And...

  Grace Polk : And you believe that?

  Adam Rove : No. No.

  Grace Polk : You had to choose someone who has a good relationship with her mother.

  Adam Rove : So what do I do?

  Grace Polk : You can invent a time machine.
