Quotes:

Nancy: [on cell phone] What? You definitely know there's a God 'cause why?::Bess: Because at this very moment I am a girl on a raft in a sea of male cuteness. Remember all those years in high school when I was like, "Where are all the cute boys?" They were here Nancy, at River Heights University, all along. Cute football boys, cute skater boys, even cute computer geek boys! I feel like that "Crocodile Hunter" guy. I have found the sacred watering hole of the gorgeous male. I swear, if I'd known, I would have gone to college years ago.

[the girls are fast asleep when Hank enters the room]::Hank: I've said it before, I'll say it again: I'm your man.::George: Hey, formerly sleeping roommate here. Can you be our man later?

Bess: [looks at Nancy while she is pulling out her notebook from her purse and points at her] I know that look. Like in the third grade, I know that look.::George: You snag a scoop?::Nancy: [serious expression as she writes in notebook] More like a bite on one of those tiny plastic spoons... and something tastes funny.
