Quotes:

Linda:I gotta go. I gotta meet Don at the Who Cares What People Think Cafe. Where if someone sees something that they want, they just have it, and it's the best thing they've ever had. Because that meal's been practicing yoga for seven years. In case you missed it, by "that meal," I mean me. I'm bad at metaphors, but I'm great at sex.
