“Well I'm not going to hope that you get hurt, but if you do, remember that you're my damsel in distress, and no one is allowed to carry you."
"I don't remember signing a contract."
"All the more reason to promise me now."
"What if you're not around when I get hurt?"
"Send word, I`ll come running."
"How big an injury does it have to be? Because sometimes I do this thing when I stand up too quickly and my ankle kind of twists a little---"
"Sounds serious. You don't want to put any weight on that. I`d better carry you the next time that happens."
"What if I skin my knee?"
"I`ll carry you."
"Charley horse?"
"I`ll carry you."
"Chipped toenail?"
"Not worth taking a risk. I`ll carry you.”
I grin at him [...] I have to admit -- he's funnier and smarter than I've given him credit for.”

“I just called you corny and said you were wearing a green dress. That's, like, the least flirtatious thing anyone's ever said."
"I'm willing to believe it's the least flirtatious thing you've ever said."
"Why are you so hard on me when I'm so nice to you?"
"Why are you so nice to me when I'm so hard on you?”

“Hilary says to her sister, “You can’t eat only pie for lunch.”
“Just watch me.” Lily plucks her ukulele out of the tote bag at her feet and strums it, singing, “Pie is fine. It’s very nice/ Especially with lots of spice/ Like cinnamon and ginger too/ My sis would like it, but she’s a poo.”
“Oh, well, that’s brilliant,” Hilary says. “Taylor Swift must be looking over her shoulder.”
