Immortal Wisdom from Saved by the Bell
MaleFriend: Hey! Some people go skiing to ski, some people go to talk about you. Guess that makes you interesting.
Friend1: Or them very sad. But at least they continue to prove me right.
Friend2: I totally thought you were going to use the Jessica Spano line about "if you're going to share a brain, get one that works."

Sexless dating
Girlfriend1: So I'm listening to this thing on the Today show about sexless dating...
Girlfriend2: Why is the Today show on at 2 o'clock?
Girlfriend1: Um, I dunno, because Passions isn't?
Girlfriend2: So who dates without having sex?
Girlfriend1: At least this one woman. She says it has enriched her life, even though she has had many failed relationships...
Girlfriend2: They failed because she wasn't banging them.
Girlfriend1: This other lady says it's OK to have sex on the first date or not for years, that it's up to the woman to decide.
Girlfriend2: What does the sexless lady say?
Girlfriend1: That you can't find permanence in impermanence.
Girlfriend2: Maybe they should've left Passions on

Hotel Patron 1: What brings you to Youngstown?
Hotel Patron 2: Freedom.

Lipstick Jungle
Girlfriend1: Did you start watching Lipstick Jungle like you promised?
Girlfriend2: Yes, it's pretty good
G1: Yeah, the only real weak link is Andrew McCarthy. It's just hard for me to wrap my head around him as some suave billionaire. A starving journalist, searching for the meaning of life in St. Elmo's Fire--believable. A douche bag with a best friend named Blaine in Pretty in Pink--believable. Surly in Weekend at Bernie's--believable. A billionaire dating Victory Ford, who is so hot, not so much.
G2: That Kirby guy is de-lish!
G1: You know, I often find myself watching that show for the visual effects, as well. I love the fashion, the set, the New York backdrop. And that's actually not why I watched Sex and the City. I really watched that show for the great writing. That show was really well written. LJ is very very predictable, even more so than SATC, but with far less witty moments. But how do you not love these lead girls.
G2: Do you feel like you related to SATC more because it was mostly about being single when you were single, and LJ is mostly about being married while you are married?
G1: Not at all. In fact, I was highly annoyed--and still am--with the number of girls who thought they were Carrie Bradshaw while that show was running. But I can't ignore that this show is targeted at the demographic who loved SATC and grew up with it, and now a lot of those people are getting married and all that.
G2: Do you think it's realistic? Is that Niko-Kirby storyline realistic of an affair? How do you know you'd never have an affair?
G1: I think it's realistic in that affairs happen every day. I think it's unrealistic in that the writting is pretty unoriginal and extremely predictable--not creative at all there. Also, the cheaters are never as hot as Niko and Kirby. And I know I'd never have an affair because it's a mistake you can't take back or make up for. It just hangs over a relationship forever. And did you hear what Wendy said about intimacy? So true. Once you have and achieve true intimacy, you don't want to give it up or rebuild it with someone else. It takes time to get to that point with someone. And unless you have it, you have no idea what I mean. It's a lot about being able to, and being comfortable enough, to share everything. I mean, everything. Not to mention that when you respect and love someone, you don't do that shit.
G2: We should have a Lipstick Jungle party.
G1: We definitely will.

Bullshit and inspiration
Person in Youngstown1: Can you ever remember being this inspired?
Person in Youngstown2: Yes. But not by a politician.
PiY1: Do you think any of it's bullshit?
PiY2: Do you know anyone who has led without a certain amount of bullshit?

Dress-up
Candy: Why do you have three sets of Mardi Gras beads on, and why are there stickers wrapped around each of your fingers like tribal tattoos?
Larry: Cienna and I are playing dress-up.
Candy: Oh.
