- Ephram: The more things change, the more they stay the same. I'm not sure who the first person was who said that. Probably Shakespeare. Or maybe Sting. But at the moment, it's the sentence that best explains my tragic flaw, my inability to change. I don't think I'm alone in this. The more I get to know other people, the more I realize it's kind of everyone's flaw. Staying exactly the same for as long as possible, standing perfectly still... It feels safer somehow. And if you are suffering, at least the pain is familiar. Because if you took that leap of faith, went outside the box, did something unexpected... Who knows what other pain might be out there, waiting for you. Chances are it could be even worse. So you maintain the status quo. Choose the road already traveled and it doesn't seem that bad. Not as far as flaws go. You're not a drug addict. You're not killing anyone... Except maybe yourself a little. When we finally do change, I don't think it happens like an earthquake or an explosion, where all of a sudden we're like this different person. I think it's smaller than that. The kind of thing most people wouldn't even notice unless they looked at us really close. Which, thank God, they never do. But you notice it. Inside you that change feels like a world of difference. And you hope this is it. This is the person you get to be forever... that you'll never have to change again.
- Ephram: Look, Amy, I know this sucks for you because of Colin and I want to be there for you, I do, but I can't do this anymore. I can't keep being your second choice, not when you're my first.
- Amy: Ok, four years ago you came to my little town. And you changed my life. I never thought that one person could do that to you, but you did. From the moment that I met you and each moment after that... somehow everything that happend to me, kept comming back to you. I don't know if the Faries Wheel reminds you of anything?
- Ephram: Are you kiddin' me? How could I forget our first thaw-fest? It's where you first told me that your nickname was Grover.
- Amy: I can't belive you remember that.
- Ephram: I remember everything about us Amy.
- Amy: Me too, See that's the thing. Everytime I try to forget, The feelings that I have for you, They just they keep comming back, I know they're back. And I don't wanna push them down anymore, I don't wanna run away from this because I never erh, wanna lose you again, I just wanna be with you, Next year, wherever you are.
- Ephram: Amy...
- Amy: And I'm sorry that it took me so long to figure it out, I really am because I-I hate all of the time that we lost and I know it's my fault and I just really hope that you could forgive me.
- Ephram: Amy...
- Amy: Because I love you Ephram, I love you
- Ephram: [kisses her] It's my turn yet?

- Delia: I don't think I'm going to be a brain surgeon when I grow up.
- Doctor Brown: No? Why not?
- Delia: Well, for one thing, you have to wake up early. Even on Saturday.
- Doctor Brown: Yeah, that can be a drawback.
- Delia: And because I'm probably going to be a tap dancer.
- Doctor Brown: I thought you were going to be a fireman.
- Delia: I'm going to do that, too. During the day.
- Dr. Andrew Brown: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, excellent choice, Delia.
- Ephram: Don't let her watch it.
- Delia: Be quiet.
- Dr. Andrew Brown: Am I missing something?
- Ephram: Eight years of raising her. She can't watch that movie, it upsets her.
- Delia: It does not.
- Ephram: Well, that is if you don't count the screaming and nights on my floor.
- Dr. Andrew Brown: Delia?
- Delia: Well, it used to scare me, but it doesn't anymore.
- Ephram: Ah, that's what she always says. Like a junkie begging for more smack.
- Delia: I'm not a junkie, you're a junkie.
- Dr. Andrew Brown: Nobody's a junkie in this house.
- Ephram: I'd like to take a moment and point out that this is by far the weirdest restaurant we've ever been to, and we're from New York City where we're regularly served by drag queens named Frank.
- Dr. Harold Abbott: My daughter is dating a paroled addict.

- Andy: What did you just say?
- Delia: I said... it tastes... like shit.
- [Ephram starts laughing]
- Andy: All right, that's it. You go to your room right now. Ephram, stop laughing.
- Ephram: [still laughing] I'm trying.
- Andy: All right, you go to your room too. Everyone, go to their room this instant.
- Linda: I actually don't have a room here.
- Older Car Salesman: She ain't much to look at that's true, but your girl will like her.
- Ephram: Oh, I don't have a girl and I don't think that I'm going to be getting any with this thing. No offence, but this is kinda a mojo killer and I don't have any to spare.
- Older Car Salesman: No the girl that's right for you - she'll like this car.
- Ephram: What, some kind of weed out? Thanks but my face has that covered.
- Older Car Salesman: There's a girl who you like, who likes you. She like's the car.
- Ephram: A specific girl who likes this car?
- Older Car Salesman: Don't listen to me. What does a guy with grease under his nails know about romance? Here, hop in your future awaits.
- Ephram: If this is my future that even my past is starting to look good.
- Dr. Andrew Brown: The thing is, I promised Delia I wouldn't go out with her.
- Edna: You also promised Delia a horse. I don't see Mr. Ed galloping around here.
- Laynie Hart: You looked so uncomfortable the other day. Like I embarrassed you or something.
- Ephram: Look, I'm gonna mess up because that's just what I do. But at least give me a chance to mess up. I mean, I'm capable of such stupidity that you'd be wasting my talent by ending this now.
- [to Collin]
- Ephram: You know, you're the only guy I know who's so dark it turns me into an optimist. It's kinda scary.
- [shows Ephram his new car]

- Delia: You can say that again.
- Ephram: Emphasis on blows.
- Doctor Brown: Isn't he supposed to be dead?
- Edna Harper: Yeah, I thought that was a little weird, too.
- Dr. Andrew Brown: Do me a favor, you know how you normally behave?
- Ephram: Distant and miserable?
- Dr. Andrew Brown: Yeah. Do the opposite.
- Dr. Andrew Brown: You know, when your mother died, a thousand people said a thousand stupid things to me and I just wanted one of them to give me a reason not to die.
- [to Ephram]
- Dr. Andrew Brown: Now, if you choose not to respond to my parental authority, I should warn you, I have mind altering drugs in the other room and I'm not afraid to use them.
- Doctor Brown: Are you dilated yet?
