Quotes[]

Alexis: Oh, I didn't expect you to join me.

Anders: Well, I didn't expect to go bald, but these things happen.

Anders: I hope you called me here to tell me that Oliver is halfway around the world.

Alexis: If by "the world" you mean "this hotel" and by "halfway" you mean "six floors up"? Yes.

Adam: I can't do this anymore. Come home with me or.. or we're done.

Kirby: Well, I'm staying, so I guess we're done.

Blake: Not so fast. Look, he'll do whatever we say once you whip out Blake's favorite tool.

Fallon: You hear how that sounds, right?

Blake: Well, sometimes all you need is a little luck.

Fallon: Luck? Luck you.

Alexis: I like my caffeine ethical.

Sam: As opposed to the rest of your life?

Cristal: Dominique. Hi. Um, this got delivered to the main house for you.

Dominique: And you're delivering it yourself? Should I get the bomb-sniffing dogs?

Cristal: You played a big part in getting the manor back from Alexis and I'm grateful.

Dominique: Don't mention it. She was a horrible landlord.

Fallon (to Blake): Just makes it sound like I'm some sorta of diva who's impossible to work with - Amir, why would I want a cake pop? I'm not six. - Which is obviously not true.

Alexis: They always say the first thing to go is the memory. Card.

Dominique (to Kat): I'd suggest calling the fashion police, but they'd probably arrest you for bad taste.

Candy: Let me guess. You were a TriDelt at Princeton?

Fallon: Nope. Just a regular bitch at NYU.

Candy: You're so lucky. To be old and make your own decisions.

Fallon: Totally. #OldAndBlessed.

Fallon: Hey, uh, Candy! Screw Princeton! Girl Power! Own the patriarchy!

Kirby: Spare me the lecture. I'm an adult.

Joseph: Now you see, that's the first thing you've said that I agree with. You are an adult, and you are free to live your life any way you like. Just not here. And not like this.

Kirby: So you're kicking me out?

Joseph: Unless you decide you want to change your behavior.

Kirby scoffs softly.

Joseph (chuckles): So, there's nothing further to discuss. Trust me, it's for your own good. When you're ready, I'll be here.

Kirby: No, you won't. Because all you've ever done is abandon me.
