Quotes 

• Sebastian : Why do you say "romantic" like it's a dirty word?

  Laura : Unpaid bills are not romantic. Call her.

  Sebastian : I'm not gonna call her. And the thing is y-y-y-you're acting like life's got me on the ropes. I want to be on the ropes, okay? I'm just... I'm letting life hit me 'til it gets tired.

  Laura : Oh?

  Sebastian : Then I'm gonna hit back. It's a classic rope-a-dope.

  Laura : Okay, Ali. I love you. Unpack the boxes.

  Sebastian : I'm gonna change the locks.

  Laura : You can't afford it.

  Sebastian : I'm a phoenix rising from the ashes.

• Laura : When are you gonna unpack these boxes?

  Sebastian : When I unpack them in my own club.

  Laura : Oh, Sebastian. It's like a girl broke up with you and you're stalking her. You're not still going by there, are you?

  Sebastian : That's... you won't believe that they turned it into a samba-tapas place.

  Laura : Oh, my god, Sebastian!

  Sebastian : Samba. Tapas. Pick one, you know? Do one right.

• Laura : I got you a throw rug.

  Sebastian : I don't need that.

  Laura : What if I said Miles Davis pissed on it?

  Sebastian : It's almost insulting. Is it true?

• Sebastian : I had a very serious plan for my future.

  Laura : I know.

  Sebastian : It's not my fault I got shanghaied.

  Laura : You didn't get shangaied. You got ripped off.

  Sebastian : What's the difference?

  Laura : I don't know. It's not as romantic as that.

• Sebastian : Please stop sneaking into my home.

  Laura : You think mom or dad would call this a home?

  Sebastian : What are you doing? Please don't do that. Please don't sit on that.

  Laura : Are you kidding?

  Sebastian : [ushering her off the stool]  Please don't sit on that. Don't sit on that. Don't sit on that. Hoagy Carmichael sat on that!

  Laura : Oh, my god.

  Sebastian : The Baked Potato just threw it away.

  Laura : I can't imagine why.

• Laura : I have someone I want you to meet.

  Sebastian : I don't wanna meet anyone.

  Laura : Well...

  Sebastian : No, no, I don't wanna meet anyone.

  Laura : Dad gave you this?

  Sebastian : Yes.

  Laura : You'll like her.

  Sebastian : I don't think I'm gonna like her. Does she like jazz?

  Laura : Probably not.

  Sebastian : Then what are we gonna talk about?

  Laura : I don't know! It doesn't matter. Okay? Because you're living like a hermit. You're driving without insurance!

  Sebastian : It doesn't matter?

  Laura : Yeah, it doesn't matter.

  Sebastian : Okay.

  Laura : You need to get serious.

  Sebastian : Well, then I know a guy with a face tattoo that you should see.

  Laura : Okay, low blow.
