Quotes 

• Mousy Julie : Should I tell you what I know? I was going to, but now maybe I've changed my mind...

  Katie Burke : What are you talking about?

  Mousy Julie : Harrison Hobart is missing... That's two, isn't it?

• Wade Handler : Did you think it was odd that, he still liked her a lot, and she hadn't really show him any real interest in over two years?

  Mousy Julie : I thought it was the opposite of odd. Guys are drawn to her like bugs surround a bug lamp. For four years I've had the privilege of watching it.

  Wade Handler : That bother you Julie?

  Mousy Julie : Think you see the horns of jealousy? You got my angle? You might want to ask yourself why you're so interested in her. They think it's a coltish vulnerability... but it's just self obsession: The pea-brain says: "she needs saving", the pea-brain says: "I can save her". And then she doesn't notice them, so, they go crazy. It's about the missing dad and, validation. She just needs a friend.
