I Expect Better

ROONIE: I can lower your expectations.

Writing Process

SHELKEY: I am a writer.
SHELKEY: And I have a PROCESS.

SHELKEY: I pick a quiet spot. I clean the space. I make oolong tea.
SHELKEY: Then, I sit... and I WRITE.

A pause.

SHELKEY: Lastly, I quit writing forever and hurl my typewriter into the sea.

I Would Do Anything

FLYNN: Roonie, I'm your friend, and I would do anything for you.

The squirrel puts their hand on the rabbit's shoulder, and the two share a smile.

A pause.

FLYNN: But don't, like, ASK, OK?

Time to Clean

ROONIE: Time to clean up around here!

A pause.

ROONIE: Or at the very least, time to rearrange these piles.

Pick a Color

HELEN: Well, the room WOULD look great in mint green.
ALLAN: Great. Mint green. I truly don't care anymore.

HELEN: But...ugh. Allan, I mean, sweet water blue is SO nice.
ALLAN: Fine! Blue! We've been here THREE HOURS, Helen!

HELEN: UGH, but then there's plum, lilac, Byzantium. Allan... are we not giving enough thought to purples in GENERAL?

ALLAN: I... would like a divorce.
HELEN: AUGH!! Goldenrod, Allan! My God! What about GOLDENROD!!

In Some Ways

ROONIE: In some ways, we're a lot alike.

FLYNN: Yeah.

FLYNN: In dumb ways.

Why Does This Keep Happening?

ROONIE: Why does this stuff keep happening to me?

FLYNN: Because you don't think things through, you have bad instincts, and you won't listen to advice.

ROONIE: Sure...

ROONIE: But I wonder what the REAL reason is.

Life’s Too Short

FLYNN: Life's too short to argue.

PITTMAN: OK... how short are we talking?

PITTMAN: Like, this afternoon?

PITTMAN: Because then I still have time to make a few key points!

A Few Pounds

ROONIE: They keep saying I'd feel better if I could just drop a few pounds...

Picks up belly.

Drops it.

ROONIE: I think it worked.

A Murder!

ROONIE: There's been a murder!

ROONIE: Not really... I've just always wanted to say that.

A pause.

ROONIE: I did step on a bug earlier...
FLYNN: LEAVE!

Handling Criticism

FLYNN: Your songs are too LOUD.
SHELKEY: Your ears are too STUPID.

FLYNN: Hey!
SHELKEY: You're right, I'm sorry... I have to be able to handle criticism.

SHELKEY: I hear you. I value your feedback. And I THANK you.
FLYNN: You're welcome.

SHELKEY: I thank YOU... and your stupid, STUPID ears.
