TSITP 2x08 - "Love Triangle" : Quotes (part. V)

"- I, uh, didn't know this was a group date. (Steven) - I never said this was a date. (Taylor) - Cool. (Steven) - Those are pretty flowers, Steven. (Taylor's friend 1) - Um, roses for my bitch. (Steven) - Did you just call Taylor your bitch? (Taylor's friend 2) - It's an inside joke. (Steven) - What the hell, Steven? (Taylor) - No, no, no, it's... it's an inside joke. Just forget it. (Steven) - It's "bad bitch", dummy. (Taylor) - That's what I meant. That is what I meant. (Steven) - So, Steven, have you heard, um, Milo's new stuff? You're kind of famous now. (Taylor's friend 1) - What? (Steven) - Uh.... (Taylor) - What? (Katie) - Okay. Oh, my God. Um... Milo came home from the party in Cousins... (Taylor) - Yeah. (Steven) - He wrote an entire diss album about you. (Taylor) - It's pretty brutal. How's your jaw, by the way? (Katie) - What? (Steven) - I mean, it sounds like he hit you pretty hard. (Katie) - That's bullshit, all right? Just FYI, by the way, I'm the one who landed the takedown blow. (Steven) (...) - Uh... (Taylor) - She just had to make a quick stop, in, uh, Providence. Yeah. I mean, she'll be back later tonight, so... Cool. (Steven) - Speaking of, I heard things are finally happening. (Taylor) - Oh, no, I know. I'm getting, like, constant update. (Steven) - Really? (Taylor) - Yes. (Steven) - I don't know, I just.... I hope it all works out. You know? She so clearly belongs with him. (Taylor) - Oh, yeah. I mean, Conrad's her soulmate. (Steven) - Jere's the best. Wait, what? (Taylor) - Hmm?" (Steven) (...) - As long as you stop giving me these, like, weird, silent, judging glances, Steven. (Taylor) - What? (Steven) - You know what I'm talking about. (Taylor) - Come on, it's not my fault that you're backing the wrong horse here. Are you seriously Team Jeremiah? (Steven) - It's Team Jellyfish. (Taylor) - Jellyfish, yeah. That's ridiculous. (Steven) - It's not ridiculous. How can you seriously be rooting for Conrad? You know he completely broke your sister's heart this year. (Taylor) -> Thank you, Taylor! - What Conrad pulled at prom was low, all right? I agree. But his mom was dying, Taylor. Come on, he was going through it. (Steven) - So was Jeremiah. Isn't he supposed to be your best friend? How can you root against him? (Taylor) - Conrad's my best friend, too. (Steven) - Belly isn't the only one that he pushed away this year. Remember that. (Taylor) - Okay, yeah. He can definitely wall himself off. All right? But trust me, he's working on it. And sure, Jere's... easier. Yeah, but that's the whole thing. You know, he doesn't challenge Belly. Not the same way Conrad does. She is deeper than a lot of people give her credit for. She deserves someone who sees all the amazing, complex things that she has to offer. (Steven) - You think that's Conrad? (Taylor) - I know it's not Jeremiah. (Steven) - Okay, well, it's Belly's choice. (Taylor) - Yeah, that it is. (Steven) - This isn't really how I pictured our first date, just, like, fighting the whole time. (Taylor) - I thought this wasn't a date. Come on, Taylor, bickering is what we do, it's fun. (Steven) - Not always. He's paying." (Taylor)

"I'm joking. You're with the boys. Or not? (Laurel) - It's just been a weird day. (Belly) - Want to talk about it? (Laurel) - Do you remember... last year, when we talked about... you and Dad? About being in love? I was just wondering, um... What did it feel like when you weren't in love with him anymore? Like, how'd you know? (Belly) - Well, part of me will always love your dad, but it's different now. I think love has different seasons, depending on where you are in your life. (Laurel) - You're talking like a writer, Mom. What does that even mean? (Belly) - It means you should ask yourself, is what you're feeling remembering what you had together, or looking forward to what you could have? (Laurel) - What if you don't know? (Belly) - I guess... don't beat yourself up about it. You're still young. You know what, I want you to have lot of lovers before you settle on one person, Bean. (Laurel) - Ugh. Mom, that is gross. Please don't say "lovers". (Belly) - Okay. I should go or I'll be late. (Laurel) - You have plans? (Belly) - Don't sound so surprised. It's just a thing with some other writers. I'm sure it'll be awful. Be safe, baby. (Laurel) - I love you, Mom. (Belly) - Love you, too." (Laurel)
