Quote from Alexis

Producer: Just hit record.
Alexis: [imitating Moira] "Try one of our in-flight meals, if you dare... at Larry Air." I'm sorry, this is not... This is not good, so... Hmm, hmm, hmm!

Quote from Moira

Producer: Okay. Whenever you're ready, Moira. Just start at the top, and high energy.
Moira: Con brio, Si! [clears throat] "We really care... at Larry Air." I like that, it's snappy. "We really care..."
Producer: Just roll right through. Just go on to the next line, please.
Moira: "A deal so rare, it's Larry Air." "Never flown Larry Air? Try Larry Air." Oh, that's a touch uninspired. Alexis [whispers] Alexis! I'd rather not use that one.
Alexis: Okay, so I'm being told just to read through them all and then we'll figure it out after, okay? And higher energy.
Moira: Higher... [clears throat] "Get your derriere on Larry Air... " That's a bit chummy for an airline. Couldn't we maybe take a moment to rework some of these?
Producer: The client's not here. It's my job just to get you to say the words.
Moira: [sighs] "Larry Air. We'll take you from there... to here... " Now that should switched, shouldn't it? You should... Alexis, I can't work like this!

Quote from Alexis

Alexis: Okay, I've used the clues to turn the dials on the flashlight, and it spells out England. So, thank you, my weekend with Tom Hardy... England is here.
Johnny: It says something.
Alexis: "I'm tall when I'm young and short when I'm old." Candle.
Stevie: How are you doing this?
Alexis: [gasps] What?
Patrick: Laser. Laser's pointing at...
Alexis: Okay, I got this, Patrick. Okay, this is an ancient Egyptian symbol for stability. My friend Prairie got one tattooed on her lower-back in seventh grade.
David: Okay, what does that mean?!
Alexis: It means that we need to find something from Egypt. So like mummies, Rami Malek, a... a pyramid.
David: What?
Alexis: And there it is.

Quote from Moira

Moira: Before we find ourselves ebrious with hooch and happiness, may I say how very proud all of us are on this day of days.
David: Well, we did say no speeches, so...
Moira: Your father...
Stevie: Guess they listened.
Moira: With his pecuniary savvy and intrepidation has turned what began as a katzenjammer of a day into one filled with faith, hope and love.
Johnny: Well, thank you, sweetheart.

Quote from David

David: Okay, isn't that a Jodie Foster movie?
Patrick: No, David, that is Panic Room. An escape room is like a, a fun group game where you're trapped in a room and you have to solve all these puzzles to get out.
David: [laughs] You lost me at fun group game. I'm sorry, my family agreed to this?
Stevie: Your family hasn't responded to a single email, so they will be doing what we tell them to do.
David: Is there anything else on my list that we could do this evening?
Stevie: If you could come up with the money for the Tahitian dolphin cruise, I'd happily change plans. No?
David: Don't say a word.

Quote from David

David: But here's one thing that'll make you feel good... my bachelor party tonight.
Alexis: I'm pretty sure I told Stevie that I couldn't come, or like I started sending her an email saying that. I don't know, I just... I can't seem to do anything right now.
David: Mm-hmm. I never thought I'd have to say this, but there is only space in this family for one unstable sibling, and I have held that title for a very long time, so you are going to have to get it together.

Quote from Alexis

David: So, for someone who is all about signs, what do you think it meant that you were the one that got us out of the Galapagos?
Alexis: [laughs] Honestly? Like... being in a high-pressure situation, with time running out and a lot of people yelling at me, it just like... made me feel like myself again.
David: Well, mission accomplished. And you're out of your sweatpants, so things are looking up.
Alexis: [mock giggle]
David: I think it might be time to let go of that succulent.
Alexis: Okay, I've been thinking about that. Do you think that maybe it died because it outgrew its little pot?
David: No, I watched you slowly kill it.
Alexis: Like maybe it realized that it missed the bigger pots that it used to grow in, and maybe it can't live up to its full potential in such a small space? David, I'm starting to feel that I'm a lot like the plant.
David: I was tracking the metaphor, but um... what're you saying?
Alexis: I don't know. Like maybe it's time I think about being somewhere else, finding a bigger pot to grow in.

Quote from Stevie

[Patrick holds up an "I'm with stupid ->" t-shirt. David holds up a t-shirt which reads "I'm stupid"]
David: Okay, Stevie, I told you I didn't want a jokey bachelor party. Also, my t-shirt is missing the "with".
Stevie: Oh, no, I had yours custom-made.

Quote from Stevie

Stevie: Now, before I tell you what I have planned... for tonight's festivities, I think we can all agree that putting me in charge of your joint bachelor party was a big mistake, right?
Patrick: I'm sure it's gonna be great.
David: Absolutely.
Stevie: And the fact that you guys wanted it to be the "bachelor party of your dreams" only added extra, totally unnecessary pressure to the whole thing.
Patrick: 'Kay, Stevie, we never said that.
Stevie: Oh, no, you didn't. David sent me a seven-page e-mail with the subject line, "The Bachelor Party of My Dreams".

Quote from Moira

Ronnie: And you said Nicole Kidman is starring in it?
Moira: Oh, it doesn't matter who's starring! I don't think the point is getting across.
Ronnie: No, no, I get it. It's just that a lot of people would have a really hard time saying no to that kind of work, especially when you spent the last three years talking about how badly you wanted to get outta this place.
Moira: Oh, we're still on course. Oh, you know what they say, when one door closes, the floodgates open.
Twyla: You got another job?
Moira: Say hello, ladies, to the new spokesperson of an international airline.
Twyla: Oh my gosh, Mrs. Rose! You're gonna be in a commercial for an airline?!
Moira: Radio, yes. Voice-over work is every actor's dream.
