Christian Clemenson: Jerry Espenson

Quotes 

• Katie Lloyd : [She enters the office she and Jerry share]  Hello, Jerry.

  Jerry Espenson : Busy.

  Katie Lloyd : Jerry?

  [He continues to ignore her, so she mimics his purr at him, startling him into looking up at her] 

  Katie Lloyd : What? Improper to make fun of the disabled? You're not disabled, Jerry, you're a very able man, who happens to have Asperger's and a few eccentric ticks, but you're intelligent, you're mainstream. And when it comes to finding a romantic partner? It's simply wrong for you to reduce the playing field to people who suffer mental disorders. Which, Leigh Swift very much does. With all due sensitivity to objectophilia, she needs serious medical attention. For God's sake, you cannot be expected to compete with a gadget! You need to start setting your sights a little... higher.

  Jerry Espenson : That would make a lovely Valentine's movie, but in the real world...

  Katie Lloyd : In the real world, women fall in love with men who beat them! Men fall in love with their mothers! Love is the most inexplicable, unscientific, irrational of all phenomenon. The only thing we know for sure is it can happen to anyone. And usually does. And for you to be moping around with the idea it never will for you? It's simply unacceptable.

  Jerry Espenson : [He considers a moment]  ... Okay.

  Katie Lloyd : Okay, fine.

  Jerry Espenson : Actually, I'm writing a letter to Leigh now, to get closure.

  Katie Lloyd : Excellent.

  Jerry Espenson : I thought it best to keep it short, but I'm wondering if it's a little too short. May I read it to you?

  Katie Lloyd : Of course.

  Jerry Espenson : "Dear Leigh. Go to hell. Sincerely, Jerry."

  Katie Lloyd : [She considers a moment]  It is a bit short.
