"No way I'm going back. I'm going to vet this guy for you, and that's final."
"You're just a kid. What do you know?"
"I'm a man, so I know men best. I can tell if a guy is reliable just by looking at him. I have to go with you."

"Hey, that's completely different. It's okay if I'm not happy, but you have to be."

"Alright, stop worrying about my affairs. We're just friends. It's not what you're thinking."
"Don't be embarrassed. Does being a divorced mom mean you can't find a boyfriend? I'd be thrilled if you hurry up and find one."
