  Bonnie : Those your professors?

  Christy : [pause, sarcastically]  Yeah!

• Miranda : I've been working with Jill on moderation, I tried to convince her she could eat half a cookie and stop.

  Bonnie : So she tried the same thing with booze?

  Jill : [several empty bottles in front of her]  I messed up.

• Christy : [biker steals their parking spot]  Small dude, huge bike...

  Christy , Bonnie : Tiny wiener!

• Bonnie : [bawling]  What's happening to me?

  Miranda : I've opened you up, Bonnie.

  Bonnie : [sobbing]  Well slam me shut again!

  Miranda : You'll feel better soon, but I advise you not to make any rash decisions for the next 36 hours and don't operate any heavy machinery.

  Bonnie : [sobbing]  But, what if I have to drive a backhoe?

  Miranda : This is terrific, you're already starting to think big!

• Jill : It's my turn to go over and clear the cookie table. I'm scared that my jaw's going to unhinge and I'm gonna clear the table with my mouth.

  Miranda : Jill, do you know why I ride motorcycles? Because I used to be afraid of them and now I'm not, you need to face your fears.

  Jill : You're right, I'm going over.
