Quotes 

• Mary Shannon : Why do you always side with him?

  Eleanor Prince : Because his decisions aren't predicated upon flapjack availability.

  Mary Shannon : I see that as a weakness.

• Marshall Mann : Did you know periwinkle is also the name of an intertidal mollusk?

  Mary Shannon : No, but if you hum a few bars I'll try to fake it.

• Olivia Moreno : [Mary learns Olivia is dating Cesar Calderon]  I haven't said anything about anything to do with my dad to anyone. And Cesar hasn't asked.

  Mary Shannon : [skeptically]  Really?

  Olivia Moreno : I swear to God, Mary, Cesar's legit. He's a producer.

  Mary Shannon : Oh, a producer!

  Olivia Moreno : Yeah.

  Mary Shannon : Why didn't you say so? TV? Movies?

  Cesar Calderon : Music.

  Mary Shannon : Oh.

  Olivia Moreno : Look, Cesar's only been in the business two years, and he already has a gold record.

  Mary Shannon : Yeah. Why am I picturing a severed horse head between the sheets?

  [Marshall laughs] 

• Mary Shannon : I never got over the hurt of my father leaving me, and I don't ever want to go through that again. But I am not afraid of commitment. It's just that with the possible exception of Marshall, I seem to be the only person on the planet who... who believes you honor your commitments, no matter what, and that you don't break a promise because keeping it has become inconvenient. And you don't commit yourself to something as important as marriage because you got called up to the majors.

  Raphael Ramirez : Well, you won't have to worry about that anymore.

  Mary Shannon : Why? What are you talking about?

  Raphael Ramirez : I retired.

  Mary Shannon : What?

  Raphael Ramirez : Yesterday.

  Mary Shannon : What, you just woke up and decided to quit?

  Raphael Ramirez : No. No, no. Look, it's not like that. I... I decided last year, after I hurt my knee, to give it six months and see how I come back. Then I hurt my hand. So I pushed it another three months. This decision has been almost a year in the making. Now it's time for me to get on with the next part of my life. And for the record, I bought the ring six months before I asked you to marry me. You are the most difficult woman in the world, but I have known for a long time that I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
