Quotes:

Miles: It's Christmas Eve and we are going to go celebrate being young and being alive

Amanda: You know Graham, I just broke up with someone and considering you just showed up and you're insanely good-looking and probably won't remember me anyway... I'm thinking we should have sex... If you want.::Graham: Is that a trick question?

Arthur Abbott: I like this Hugo Boss, he cuts a nice suit!

Iris: Because you're hoping you're wrong. And every time she does something that tells you she's no good, you ignore it. And every time she comes through and suprises you, she wins you over, and you lose that argument with yourself, that she's not for you.::Miles: Exactly, and on top of that there's the old standby, I can't believe a girl like that would actually be with a guy like me.

Amanda: Who cut out all of those beautiful stars?::Sophie: We did.::Olivia: The three musketeers.

Sophie: Daddy, she has more marshmallows than I do.::Graham: No she doesn't, you each have five.::[to Amanda]::Graham: You have five too.::Amanda: Thanks

Iris: Lowpoint!

Miles: Well, hello big dollop!

Miles: Iris, if you were a melody... I used only the good notes.

Iris: You're supposed to be the leading lady in your own life, for God's sake!
