• Pat Brody : But you know who I lost my virginity to...! Who is it?

  Joel Larsen : You're always telling me you don't wanna know about your future.

  Pat Brody : I know, but this is about sex.

  Joel Larsen : Okay, I'll give you a hint. It's someone you see every day.

  [Pat starts to see flashes of girls he sees every day. The one he lands on is Isabelle] 

• Joel Larsen : Let's just say I'm holding out, 'til I find someone who completes me.

  [Abby looks impressed] 

  Joel : [voice over]  Thank you, Jerry Maguire.

• Joel Larsen : She just asked me out, right?

  Isabelle Meyers : Yeah, she did.

  Pat Brody : That's awesome!

  Isabelle Meyers : This is a bad idea.

  Pat Brody : Oh, horrible. Terrible idea.

• Joel Larsen : Brett, I need to talk to you.

  Brett : Joel?

  Joel Larsen : I know what you're doing, man, and it sucks.

  Brett : Excuse me?

  Joel Larsen : I'm talking about Abby. You're just dreaming along to see if there's something better for you out there. That it's just gonna give you all the time in the world, but trust me, you are making a huge mistake.

  Brett : Okay, kid, you're nice, and Abby really likes you. But you don't know what you're talking about.

  Joel Larsen : No, no, I know exactly what I'm talking about. You see, I used to be you! And I wish that someone would have told me while I was looking around for someone better, I was already with someone better. Look, you don't wanna end up alone, like I did. Go tell her you love her, stop being such a wimp, do it now, before it's too late! Go, now! Brett, do this!

  [unknowingly taking over as security guard for Brett. A kid shows his identification to him] 

  Joel Larsen : That's the worst ID I've ever seen. Get out of here!

• Pat Brody : No, thanks, I already have a girlfriend.

  Joel Larsen : Okay, as hot as Gigi is, you do know she's imaginary?

  Pat Brody : Not Gigi. I'm talking about Isabelle.

  Joel Larsen : Isabelle...? Does she know this?

  Pat Brody : No, but you did tell me I lost my virginity to her.

  Joel Larsen : [laughs]  No, I didn't! I said, you lose it to someone you see every day.

  [Pat sees a new flash, but this time he walks past Isabelle and ends up on the cleaning lady] 

  Malena : Good bye, Mr. Pat.

  Joel Larsen : [in reality]  Hello, Malena!

• [last lines] 

  Joel Larsen : How did you know I was here?

  Isabelle Meyers : Pat told me. He told me everything about tonight. Look, I know you really liked her, and I'm sorry you got hurt, but I just think for now on you should be inherited for a while.

  Joel Larsen : Yeah, maybe you're right.

  Isabelle Meyers : Joel, you're a really great guy. And I know you're gonna meet a nice girl someday.

  Joel Larsen : Thanks.

  Isabelle Meyers : [pauses]  So, Pat told me he broke up with Gigi.

  Joel Larsen : Yeah, they couldn't really make their long distance work out.

  Isabelle Meyers : She's not real, is she?

  Joel Larsen : I'm not allowed to say.

  [Isabelle laughs. As the picture fades, we see them talk and joke with each other]
