Quotes 

• Lily : Jonathan, you should never smoke weed unless you're dying.

  Jonathan : Okay.

  Lily : Or having sex.

• Lily : [after dropping her glass of wine]  Well you know it's time when you need to start drinking Chablis from a paper cup.

• Jonathan : So are you gonna give me some super important life advice now?

  Lily : Nah.

  Jonathan : Old people are supposed to be insightful and, you know, pass on your experiences so I remember them at crucial moments in my life.

  Lily : We old people are just pretending to be insightful, to give you the impression that life adds up to something meaningful and comprehensible.

  Jonathan : It works.

  Lily : Actually, I think that the trick is you just show up and you give life your best shot. Although hand-written thank you notes and being on time don't hurt.

• Anna : Mom, what do you want to do?

  Lily : I think a walk sounds like a nice idea. Then tonight, just to keep you on your toes, if it's all right with everyone, I'd like to celebrate Christmas. I mean, it's so much better than boring old Thanksgiving, right?

• Jonathan : Wait, are we going to get presents?

  Michael : Oh, I like that line of thinking.

  Lily : If you are very nice, Santa will bring you an inheritance, yes.

  Jonathan : Cool, are you rich?

  [embarrassed laughter] 

  Lily : I'm fine. The only stipulation being it has to all be spent on hookers and blow.
