Joan of Arcadia (TV Series)

Friday Night (2004)

Becky Wahlstrom: Grace Polk

Quotes 

• Joan Girardi : Can't we just microwave popcorn and watch "The Shining"? I'll scream, he'll hold me.

  Judith Montgomery : He's spending his bonus from work on you instead of an XBox. You know how deep that is?

  Joan Girardi : Yeah, but I-I don't need a fancy date. I mean, we're fine the way we are.

  Judith Montgomery : Oh, yeah, real fine. You thought Adam and me were hooking up.

  Joan Girardi : All right. Occasionally not so fine, but... but what if he looks across the table and realizes that I'm not worth it?

  Grace Polk : [joining them by chance leaving class]  Could happen. The whole dating ritual is barbaric. It's all about compromise, the slow death of self.

  Joan Girardi : [sarcastic]  Way to make my first date special, Grace.

  Grace Polk : I'm gonna have to start another woman's movement. The first one obviously didn't take.

• Grace Polk : [at a schlock cinema showing]  This is totally inept, dude. It makes stupid look stupid.

  Friedman : I know. And yet in endures. An evolutionary marvel.

• Friedman : I can see it now. You and Luke.

  Grace Polk : You know if you give us up, you'll never have kids.

  Friedman : Yeah, I got that.

• Grace Polk : I have a meeting tonight.

  Luke Girardi : [She hands him a flyer]  Anarchists Unite? Isn't that contradictory?

  Grace Polk : Anarchy is about shedding false conceptions, so it is not at all contradictory, brain drain. Maybe if you came, you'd be less politically dense.

  Luke Girardi : Well, anarchists should have an appreciation for the chaotic ineptitude of schlock cinema. It's the very definition of anarchy.

  Grace Polk : Don't twist political philosophy to manipulate me into a date.
