Sookie : You know what I think when I'm this close to another body? I think one day at one moment... this body that I'm holding in my arms will stop breathing... stop living. Just... stop. One day you'll happen upon my name in the obits and you'll remember this moment when we were so close.
Igby : You're a real fuckin' upper.

Igby : Are you a vegetarian?
Sookie : Why would you ask that?
Igby : I've just never seen anybody roll a joint like that.
Sookie : What does that have to do with being a vegetarian?
Igby : Oh, they're just so precious.
Sookie : I roll perfect joints.
Igby : I'm not putting them down, they're incredible.
Sookie : Well, thank you.
Igby : It's incredible that a human being can make such neat, little joints.
Sookie : You make it sound as if I'm anal or something, just because I know how to roll a perfect joint.
Igby : No, not anal. Vegetarian.
Sookie : Well, what does that mean?
Igby : Well, you don't roll like, big rasta spliff joints, do you? Your joints are like salad joints, not like a big, sloppy, bleeding cheeseburger-that-you-rip-into-kind-of-a-joint joint.
Sookie : I guess marijuana isn't a visceral experience for me. Sex is for me.
Igby : Right.
Sookie : Okay, so I am a vegetarian, but for purely moral reasons.

Sookie : My parents were two very idealistic, incredibly bright, narcissists. I was like their vanity project.

Sookie : How's your brother doing these days?
Igby : I don't have a brother, I'm an only child.
Sookie : Oliver was your brother I thought.
Igby : He is, and yet...
Sookie : And yet what?
Igby : Well I was about to say that we were both raised only children, but that sounds like something you would say.
Sookie : That's funny.
