Party of Five Season 5 quotes

Griffin

Y'know, ever since I first met her, I always thought, 'Man, I hope I don't mess this up.' 'Cause that's what I do. I mess stuff up. But you what I never thought? I never thought that I hope this doesn't mess ME up.

Julia

[about Ned] Even when I was alone, or with someone else, he was always there, y'know. Just always there, like the air or something. And now that I know that he's really gone, it's like... it sounds so dumb... it's actually harder to breathe.

Bailey

It's really starting to seem like every sentence I hear starts with, 'You should," or, 'You better,' or 'You have to,' and I... it doesn't make sense for me to complain about it because everything that I have I've asked for. But if I could just find five seconds where nobody needed anything from me...

Bailey

You and Griffin?

Julia

If you have anything to say other than 'Wow, Jule, that's great,' I don't want to hear it.

Bailey

Wow, Jule, that's great.

Claudia

She likes you Charlie, but she thinks that you don't like her back. Now who's gonna stick around for that?

Charlie

Okay, if that's how she felt, which I'm sure it's not, why would she keep it a secret?

Claudia

I dunno. But if you felt that way about her, why would you keep it a secret?

Julia

I was here for the book signing earlier, and I left my copy of Perry Marks's book. Actually, I left it with her, I'm kind of a friend, and I was wondering if you had any more copies, I'd like to get one.

Aisle nine, new section, lesbian feminist writers.

Julia

Lesbian writers?

Guess you're not a close friend, are you?

Claudia

It must be hard to be mom. All those things you have to remember to tell your kids. Stuff that's hard to talk about, and they don't listen.

Sarah

You're welcome.

Grownups. Sometimes I think there's no such thing.

[to Julia] I know that you've had some bad times with men, but that's not me. I'm not gay because I don't like men. I'm gay because I like women.

Charlie

[to Kirsten] Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the not too distant past you had worked four years undergrad and three years into a Ph.D. for this. And I'm the reason that that went to waste. And I'm not gonna make that mistake again.

Julia

[to Perry] What I wanna know is why I'm like this walking target for drooling jerks. I mean, he could have grabbed you. And he didn't, and you know why? 'Cause you, like, exude 'Don't mess with me.'

Bailey

[about Kirsten] Do you love her?

Charlie

Of course I do.

Bailey

Is she having any doubts?

Charlie

No.

Bailey

Then how can it be too risky jumping into a relationship that you both want?

Julia

Whoah whoah whoah, Josh, you have just said ten...ten supportive things to me in a row. Why are still so nice to me?

You really want to know? It's research, for a story I'm writing.

Julia

Oh.

Yeah, it's about this guy... sort of unprepossessing, neurotic, but in a good way, guy, who's got a problem.

Julia

Other than being neurotic?

Yeah. See, there's this woman. This mysterious, haunted, beautiful...

Julia

Okay.

...and he just can't stop asking her out, no matter how many time she says no. So my being nice to you is pure research.

Charlie

You gotta hear this, okay, 'cause Kirsten and me - we're together. And that's changed too many times and it's not changing anymore.

Sarah

Is that who I am? Sort of a mother, but not really. Maybe a wife, but not quite. I mean, is that me? 'Cause I don't know. Y'know, maybe I'm running away from that, maybe I'm afraid to feel happy in that role because I'm nineteen and I feel like I should want more for myself. Bailey, maybe I can't write this essay because I know exactly who I am, and I'm just afraid to say it out loud.
