What I Like About You quotes

Holly

Listen, what if I go live with Nana?

Your grandmother? She's a terrible influence! I mean, c'mon, you know she doesn't use that stuff for glaucoma.

All right, I'll talk to Val.

Holly

No, let me do it. You're not that great a salesman.

Have you seen my plaque? (turns on a light above a plaque on the wall)

Holly

Yeah. And the picture of the plaque.

Val

[About a fashion designer] Man, if I could snag a client like her my career would take off like a rocket, bang!

Jeff

I think you want whoosh. When you're talking rockets, bang is bad.

Val

Are we dead?

Jeff

If we are, do I still have to watch "Riding in Cars with Boys"?

Gary

What are you doing?

Holly

Oh, I'm just playing a little game. It's called getting killed by the elevator while Gary does nothing! Help me.

Gary

Oh, sure. Anything for the cause. I mean, I don't want you moving to Japan. Have you seen their trees? They're like yea big!

Holly

Your life is fascinating . Its fascinating. You're fascinating!

Jeff

I have a situation.

Val

What kind of situation?

Jeff

This mattress is kicking my butt situation!

Holly

I'm going to stay with Nana until Dad gets back.

Val

You don't have to stay with Nana.

Holly

No, Val, it's a good thing. I should spend time with her while I still can.

Val

What does that mean?

Jeff

Oh, no! Did Nana get busted?

Val

She uses it for glaucoma.

Jeff

Aww, you're so cute...

Holly

Look, Dad got another promotion at work. They're moving him. Us. To Japan.

Japan!?

Val

That sucks!

Holly

That's what I said. Well, in my head. I still have to pay Dad a dollar every time I say suck.

Val

This is unacceptable...

Jeff

Wait a minute - what about if you were to say "Hey, kid, don't suck your thumb?" Do you still got to pay him?

Gary

Don't feel bad. I grew up with this stuff. A lot of people your age have problems with the technology.

Jeff

My age? Dude, I'm only ten years older than you!

Gary

You mean like a decade?

Jeff

So you think I'm old?

Gary

No...sir!

Jeff

What were you guys doing in there, man?

Gary

I went in to get my movie!

Jeff

You like this movie?

Gary

I love that movie! I'm like obsessed with it! It's one of those movies where I'm like, man, I would love to be one of those characters!

Jeff

You wanna be one of the Ya-Ya Sisters?

Gary

No, no! I went in to get "The Matrix," man...this must be Val's.

Jeff

You want free cheesecake for a year?

Gary

Sure!

Jeff

Make it disappear!

Jeff

You guys aren't fighting, are you? I know how sisters can be.

Val

You have two brothers.

Jeff

But I have seen "Ya-Ya Sisterhood"!

Val

That's about a mother and a daughter! Weren't you paying attention at all?

Jeff

Yeah... Please don't make me watch it again!

Jeff

Stupid "Palm Pirate."

Val

Isn't it called "Palm Pilot?"

Jeff

Not if you buy it off a guy in a van.

Val

Same guy who sold you the "Rulex?"

Jeff

Hey, what's that?

Holly

It's the "Good Roommate Chart." The GRC.

Jeff

Oh, yeah. She gave me the GBC - the "Good Boyfriend Chart." It was issued to me after a very unfortunate pull-my-finger incident.

Holly

... I heard.

Holly

(to Gary, on the phone) Don't worry! I'll just tell Jeff you missed the bus. (hangs up, to Jeff) Gary's running late. He's watching "SpongeBob SquarePants".

Jeff

What a loser! It's a repeat!
