Melvin Udall:
Now, I got a real great compliment for you, and it’s true.
Carol Connelly:
I’m so afraid you’re about to say something awful.
Melvin Udall:
Don’t be pessimistic, it’s not your style. Okay. Here I go. Clearly a mistake.
[shifts in his seat uncomfortably]

Melvin Udall:
I’ve got this, what, ailment? My doctor, a shrink that I used to go to all the time, he says that in fifty or sixty percent of the cases, a pill really helps. I hate pills. Very dangerous thing, pills. Hate. I’m using the word ”hate” here, about pills. Hate. My compliment is, that night when you came over and told me that you would never… all right, well, you were there, you know what you said. Well, my compliment to you is, the next morning, I started taking the pills.
Carol Connelly:
I don’t quite get how that’s a compliment for me.
Melvin Udall:
You make me want to be a better man.
[pause]

Carol Connelly:
[stunned]
That’s maybe the best compliment of my life.
Melvin Udall:
Well, maybe I overshot a little, because I was aiming at just enough to keep you from walking out.

Hitchhiker:
You heard of this thing, the 8-Minute Abs?
Ted:
Yeah, sure, 8-Minute Abs. Yeah, the excercise video.
Hitchhiker:
Yeah, this is going to blow that right out of the water. Listen to this: 7… Minute… Abs.
Ted:
Right. Yes. OK, all right. I see where you’re going.
Hitchhiker:
Think about it. You walk into a video store, you see 8-Minute Abs sittin’ there, there’s 7-Minute Abs right beside it. Which one are you gonna pick, man?
Ted:
I would go for the 7.
Hitchhiker:
Bingo, man, bingo. 7-Minute Abs. And we guarantee just as good a workout as the 8-minute folk.
Ted:
You guarantee it? That’s – how do you do that?
Hitchhiker:
If you’re not happy with the first 7 minutes, we’re gonna send you the extra minute free. You see? That’s it. That’s our motto. That’s where we’re comin’ from. That’s from ”A” to ”B”.
Ted:
That’s right. That’s – that’s good. That’s good. Unless, of course, somebody comes up with 6-Minute Abs. Then you’re in trouble, huh?
[Hitchhiker convulses]

Hitchhiker:
No! No, no, not 6! I said 7. Nobody’s comin’ up with 6. Who works out in 6 minutes? You won’t even get your heart goin, not even a mouse on a wheel.
Ted:
That – good point.
Hitchhiker:
7’s the key number here. Think about it. 7-Elevens. 7 dwarves. 7, man, that’s the number. 7 chipmunks twirlin’ on a branch, eatin’ lots of sunflowers on my uncle’s ranch. You know that old children’s tale from the sea. It’s like you’re dreamin’ about Gorgonzola cheese when it’s clearly Brie time, baby. Step into my office.
Ted:
Why?
Hitchhiker:
’Cause you’re fuckin’ fired!

Sarah:
You get one more sentence.
Nyles:
OK. Even though I pretend not to be I’ve realized that I am completely co-dependent but I’m cool with it because I think that life should be shared now and I need you to survive, but it’s so much more than that: I know you better than anyone knows you and remember the night that we saw the dinosaurs you said it yourself in order to ever really know anyone you need to know the entire package the good and the bad and I’ve seen your package and it is excellent Sarah & you’re my favorite person that I’ve ever met and yes I know that it’s crazy odds that the person I like the most in my entire life would be someone I met while I was stuck in a time loop but you know what else is crazy odds getting stuck in a time loop… I hope that blowing ourselves up works but it’s really irrelevant to me as long as I’m with you and if it kills us well then I’d rather die with you than live in this world without you!
