Quotes 

• Mia Mason : I don't think having a dog is... sorry... an animal companion is about being ready, or who you live with, or how much you work, or how many pets you have... I think it's about feeling something. I mean, how do I explain this bond that I have with this dog that I met three days ago who just lies there like a lump and has really smelly breath? But I do. I just think that feeling is so rare... with a man, with a friend, with a dog, with a job... that when you find it, you just can't let it go.

• Mia Mason : I think that we should be in each others' systems, right from the start. You know? Like, we want to be with each other all the time.

  Jason Chung : So, what are you saying?

  Mia Mason : I'm saying that yes, I agree with you. It's a little weird that I'm so obsessed with this dog.

  Jason Chung : Okay, good...

  Mia Mason : But, it feels so great to be crazy about someone you just met. And frankly, I don't think that we feel that way about each other.

  Jason Chung : I don't know if I've ever felt that way about anyone.

  Mia Mason : Well, you will. I think this is goodnight, Jason.

• Mia Mason : I've always wanted to own a dog, but I never thought I had the time.

  Animal Handler : We don't say owner. We say "guardian" or "life companion." "Owner" implies dogs are property, instead of living beings in their own right.

  Mia Mason : Okay, well then, I've always wanted to be a life companion to a dog.

  Animal Handler : So, could you please list all your previous pets, starting with childhood.

  Mia Mason : Are you kidding? Chinese families aren't even allowed to wear shoes in the house.

• Mia Mason : OK. I'll say it. You're nervous about mixing friends and business.

  Juliet Draper : I am not!

  [long pause] 

  Juliet Draper : Okay, I am... a little.

  Caitlin Dowd : We always mix friends and business. We do! We just did. Isn't that the point?
