  Ben : Good job, though. You owe me three hundred bucks.

• Michelle Rubin : Oh, you are never going to pull this off.

  Jeannie Ashcroft : You're not going to burn his apartment down or bite him, or anything?

  Andie : No! I'm going to limit myself to doing everything girls do wrong in relationships. Basically, everything we know guys hate. I'll be clingy, needy...

  Jeannie Ashcroft : Be touchy-feely.

  Andie : Yeah.

  Jeannie Ashcroft : Ooh, call him in the middle of the night and tell him everything you had to eat that day.

  Andie : Thank you, Lana.

  Michelle Rubin : Oh, my God!

  Jeannie Ashcroft : [reading]  "And only then will the people of Tajikistan know true and lasting peace." Andie, it's brilliant. It's really moving. But it's never going to appear in Composure Magazine.
