Quotes

Sam: Right now, I'm not wowed. I'm actually un-wowed.

Fallon to Kirby: This isn't over you conniving little wombat.
Fallon to Kirby: Now, accept my apology before I change my mind. I’m very fickle that way.

Evan: Uh, I didn't realize you were meeting someone else here.
Fallon: Oh, no-no-no-no-no-no. That's just my cousin. I mean, I did sleep with him and then almost marry him, but the bottom line is, he's my cousin, so it won't happen again.
