Justin Thompson quotes from Party of Five

Justin

[to Julia] Oh, okay, I guess this blatant disregard for me is some form of affection? Like the way you treat a sibling, or a... dog?

Justin

Do you know what the the word "private" means? Do you?

Julia

Justin.

Justin

You showed that poem to my mother.

Julia

No, I- She told you?

Justin

That was between us. That was the most private thing I could do, and you showed it to my mother.

Julia

I didn't think.

Justin

Do you like, tell her ever thing that I say to you? Do you, tell her what it's like when I kiss you?

Julia

No. Of course not.

Justin

What do you mean, of course not? It's not like it's impossible, now look what you did, I wrote you a love poem, I mean that's the first- That's the only love poem I've ever written to anyone. I couldn't even say those things to your face I had to write them down.

Julia

I'm sorry.

Justin

Where is it? Where is, uh, the poem?

Julia

It's on the.. Justin, please don't do that. Please.

Justin

I never should've written this for you.

Julia

I almost had it memorised.

Julia

I love this song.

Justin

I hate this song.

Julia

Justin, this was our song.

Justin

Exactly.

Claudia

God, I swear, sometimes I feel like the only thing anyone in this family ever says to me is 'Go away.' Justin, can I hang out with you? Justin?

Justin

Go away, Claudia, ok? Just get out of here.

Justin

I am not going to win. I have nothing to write about. A-- A pivotal event in my life? What am I--? What are you writing about? What's your essay? Your, uh-- Your entry?

Sarah

Well, uh, meeting my birth mom.

Justin

Oh, great. Fantastic. They're gonna love that. They're gonna eat it up with a spoon.

Sarah

Well, excuse me. It's not like I made it up so I'd have something to write about.

Justin

And don't even tell me. You're gonna write about your parents.

Julia

Well, yeah. But I don't know what that has do with anything.

Justin

Man, talk about a ringer.

Julia

Justin, that is disgusting.

Justin

You know what? I bet you'll both win. Yeah, you'll tie. And you'll both go to Stanford, and I'll be busy over at, uh, Stop & Shop saying, "paper or plastic?" Paper or plastic? Can I double-bag that for you? Paper or plastic? Paper or plastic?

Sarah

I'd be okay with a tie.

Julia

Yeah.

Hi, Justin.

Justin

[to Julia] She's just a friend.

Julia

So am I; a friend who's seen you naked.

Julia

Oh, I can beat you misery for misery.

Justin

Okay. New Haven is the bleakest, coldest, most depressing place in the world.

Julia

Wow, that's good. Try living in a shed.

Justin

I always hated you.

Griffin

Huh? Oh, yeah. What a coincidence. I always hated you, too.

Justin

I mean, let's be honest. You got this whole "bad boy" thing going on "this is me, and I don't give a damn" thing that women always go for Makes me wanna puke.

Griffin

Well, what about you, huh? You with your "smartest and thinks he's smartest" routine. Major pain in the butt, Mr. Harvard freakin' law.

Justin

It's Yale! All right? And I'm an English major.

Griffin

Ooh, yeah, Mr. Yale freakin' English.

Justin

You know what really baffles my ass? I'm the one who's killing myself. And you, you already got everything you want. You got your stupid little motorcycle shop, you're married to this perfect woman, and it's just Man, go figure.

Griffin

Yeah, well, it's not all it's cracked up to be, all right? I've got overhead, I've got long hours, and I'm living in a shed. You know, Harvard's a piece of cake compared to the real world, pal.

Justin

Yale!

Griffin

Yale schmale, man! Don't come crying on my shoulder. You're the one that's got it easy.

Justin

Oh, oh, you think you got it rough? Whoo-hoo. I was valedictorian at Grant. You know that? And then I go to Yale and, hello! All of a sudden I'm failing English lit. English lit! It's like all of a sudden I'm stupid or something. Oh, and the people there. Oh, my God. My roommate He's this Thurston Howell turd wannabe. First day he starts off by unpacking his collection of Brandy snifters. And he's telling me all about his Polo scores, and I'm like, "whatever!" It sucks. Ok? It blows! Ok? Ok?!

Griffin

Uh, ok, yeah. No, man, whatever. You yeah, you win.

Justin

Is there any more of this stuff?

Griffin

Oh, yeah. Hey, the next one's on me, bro.

Julia

[about Griffin] It feels bad coming home to an empty house. Except it feels empty even when he's here.

Justin

Well, I guess you gotta decide which feels less bad.

Griffin

He's hitting her.

Justin

Yeah, well, of course he's hitting on her. I mean, you gotta get used to that...

Griffin

No. Julia's new boyfriend is hitting her.

Justin

Then what the hell are you doing here fixing fan belts?

Justin

You want me to go down there and drag her away from a guy that she wants to be with because you say he's hitting her?

Griffin

You're right. I wouldn't wanna mess up your squash game at the club...
