- Frances: It's that thing when you're with someone, and you love them and they know it, and they love you and you know it... but it's a party... and you're both talking to other people, and you're laughing and shining... and you look across the room and catch each other's eyes... but - but not because you're possessive, or it's precisely sexual... but because... that is your person in this life. And it's funny and sad, but only because this life will end, and it's this secret world that exists right there in public, unnoticed, that no one else knows about. It's sort of like how they say that other dimensions exist all around us, but we don't have the ability to perceive them. That's - That's what I want out of a relationship. Or just life, I guess.
- Benji: I think it's a great day. I ate an egg bagel that Lev's slut made me. I internet-acquired three pairs of very rare Ray Bans. I'm doing awesome.
- Lev Shapiro: Just because you bought dinner doesn't mean I'm gonna sleep with you.
- Frances: I'm not trying to sleep with you.
- Lev Shapiro: No, I was pretending to be a liberated woman.
- Lev Shapiro: [wrapped in a towel, walking between Frances and Sophie] I'm just trying to get your attention.
- Frances: I have so much to do. I think I'll probably read Proust... Because sometimes it's good to do what you're supposed to when you're supposed to do it.
- Caroline: Proust is pretty heavy.
- Frances: Yeah, but it's worth it, I hear.
- Caroline: No, I meant the book. Carrying it on the plane.
- Frances: I should probably learn French first... and then read it in French.
- Frances: Tell me the story of us.
- Sophie: Again? All right, Frances. We are gonna take over the world.
- Frances: You'll be this awesomely bitchy publishing mogul.
- Sophie: And you'll be this famous modern dancer... and I'll publish a really expensive book about you.
- Frances: That d-bags we make fun of will put on their coffee tables.
- Sophie: And we'll co-own a vacation apartment in Paris.
- Frances: And we'll have lovers.
- Sophie: And no children.
- Frances: And we'll speak at college graduations.
- Sophie: And honorary degrees.
- Frances: So many honorary degrees.
