Quotes[]
- Brian Hackett - "Hey what's going on with those dinner reservations? Am I in or what?"
Budd Bronski - "Back off, man. I told you, they only have a table for two. Besides, Antonio and I made these plans weeks ago. Quit trying to horn in."
- Casey Davenport - "Oh Brian, when you get to Logan you're gonna load a Nebuchadnezzar of Veuve Clicquot."
Brian Hackett - "Whoa you just said an entire sentence to me, I understood not a word."
Casey Davenport - "A Nebuchadnezzar is an enormous bottle of wine. And every Valentine's Day, the New England Oenophiles..."
Brian Hackett - "Oenophiles? Those people got their own club now?"
Casey Davenport - "They're wine lovers, you ignoramus! And this year, your Assistant Director of Tourism has convinced them to have their annual Valentine's dinner on Nantucket. Do you understand what that means?"
Brian Hackett - "Yeah. Yeah. You want me to schlepp a... Nebacahoozy of... Jacques Cousteau. I got ears!"
- Joe Hackett - "Wait. What kind of a person is this? She's supposed to get married tonight, and she's up there fooling around with you?"
Brian Hackett - "Don't you judge her, man! You just met her. You don't know her like I do."
- Brian Hackett - "So then what was I? A case of the... pre-wedding jitters?"
Melissa Williams - "No, no Brian, no... Look, in the 10 years that David and I have been together, you're the only man who's made me forget him. Even for a little while."
Brian Hackett - "Big deal. An hour out of your life."
Melissa Williams - "No, it WAS a big deal. I mean do you realize how special you are?"
Melissa Williams - "You almost ruined my entire life!"
Brian Hackett - "Really?"
Melissa Williams - "Yes! Because of you, I was THIS close to throwing away everything I know will make me happy."
Brian Hackett - "Eh, you're just saying that."
Melissa Williams - "No I'm not! There is no one else in the world who could've almost made me do something, something so, so crazy, so, so stupid, so utterly self-destructive, I mean, something that I would have regretted until my dying DAY!"
Brian Hackett - "Well, thank you."
