Don't Tug on Superman's Cape... (2001)

Carly Pope: Sam McPherson

Quotes 

• Brooke McQueen : What I meant is that I did not realize he would go and lie about it so you would agree to join him in a game of tonsil hockey, okay? Would you please think about my feelings?

  Sam McPherson : Why? You didn't think about mine!

  Brooke McQueen : You don't own him, Sam! You were with George.

  Sam McPherson : Brooke, Harrison and I were best friends. You knew things between us were complicated.

  Brooke McQueen : I also knew that you had rejected him. Besides, clearly he had moved on.

  Sam McPherson : Yeah, to me, the next day. Obviously, he had to get rid of the bad aftertaste.

  [turns back to bathroom mirror] 

  Brooke McQueen : [exasperated sigh]  Oh! For the last time, Sam, I thought you had slammed the door on Harrison.

  [as Sam folds her arms impatiently, Brooke sighs:] 

  Brooke McQueen : I really thought he liked me. I didn't do anything wrong.

  Sam McPherson : Yeah, well, neither did I.He lied to me, Brooke. I had...

  [gestures] 

  Sam McPherson : no idea he had just been with you.

  Brooke McQueen : You're right.

  Sam McPherson : I am. God, and so are you,

  Brooke McQueen : So, if neither of us did anything wrong...

  Sam McPherson : Then why are we fighting?

  [realizing:] 

  Sam McPherson : Harrison!

  Brooke McQueen : Harrison! Ha!

  Sam McPherson : God!

  Brooke McQueen : Sam, in the interest of sisterly unity, I have a proposal. We need to form an alliance.

  Sam McPherson : An alliance against Harrison.

  Brooke McQueen : [bumping fists]  Let's get him!

• Brooke McQueen : Look, if he's gonna suffer, we have to do more than just ignore him. We need to toy with his emotions.

  Sam McPherson : It looked like the only thing being toyed with was your tongue.

  Brooke McQueen : Sam, listen. All I did was disorient him. Once he's hooked, I will dump him in the most gut-wrenching way the two of us can think of.

  [smiles] 

  Sam McPherson : Why should I believe you?

  Brooke McQueen : I don't know. Maybe because I did it in a crowded hallway. It's not exactly the best way to keep a secret, now, is it?

  [shakes head] 

  Brooke McQueen : Sam, trust me. It's perfect. I lead him on, then I drop him. And then Harrison is left with nothing else to do but salve his wounds, while being forced to watch you and George make goo-goo eyes at each other all day long.

  Sam McPherson : There's only one thing wrong with your plan, Brooke. There is no Sam and George anymore.

  Brooke McQueen : God, I'm sorry.

  Sam McPherson : God, this is all Harrison's fault.

  Brooke McQueen : Yeah.

  Sam McPherson : You're right. He does need to pay.

• Harrison John : Uh... What are you doing here?

  Sam McPherson : I didn't wanna see you stood up.

• Brooke McQueen : Sam... never liked you. She was just trying to get back at you for ruining her relationship with George. All of this was just meant to humiliate you.

  Harrison John : But... you were in on it, too?

  Brooke McQueen : I was, but see, I wasn't like Sam. She was...

  Sam McPherson : [arriving]  Wondering what the hell is going on.
