“Come on, Johnny, you’re talking to a grill master. Do you know that I’ve been given three different aprons because of my barbecue skills? Let’s see, I’ve got License to Grill, I’ve got Working Grill, oh and I have Grills Just Wanna Have Fun.” – Roland Schitt (Chris Elliott)

“I’ve got the perfect apron for ya, Poor Little Rich Grill.” – Roland Schitt

“It’s just a long string of very bad luck, and I don’t know what kind of carnage I inflicted in a past life, to deserve it. I must’ve been … Dracula or a spin doctor.” – David Rose (Dan Levy)

“Who is she? I glanced down at my plate for two seconds.” – Johnny Rose (Eugene Levy)

“You stood in front of me and told me to trust people. When I was perfectly fine not trusting people. Not trusting people is what I’m used to. It is my comfort zone. But next thing I know, there’s an oversized cookie on my doorstep, and you were telling me that I have nothing to worry about.” – David Rose

“I didn’t want it to affect what we have. Okay? And I mean it when I tell you that you have nothing to worry about. ‘Cause no matter how hard I tried with her, it just never felt right. And up until recently, I didn’t understand why. David, I’ve spend most of my life not knowing what right was supposed to feel like, and then I met you. And everything changed. You make me feel right, David.” – Patrick Brewer (Noah Reid)

Episode 9

Stevie: So, you’re wearing leather sweater in the dead of summer. You look good.

David: Thank you.

Stevie: You look ready.

David: I am.

Stevie: You know what you’re gonna say?

David: I’m gonna walk in, and I am gonna tell him that I am, ready to get back together.

Stevie: Well, that’s what you said you were gonna say to him two day ago, and yet, here we are.

David: I just wanted to make sure that I was ready, ready. You know, for for both of our sakes?

Stevie: Mm hmm. That’s a nice bracelet. Did you get that from Patrick?

David: I might have.

Stevie: So you waiting a full week to forgive him has nothing to do with the fact that he showered you with gifts and attention every day.

David: That is purely coincidental! I was just working the strength to be able to put our differences aside, for the future of our relationship.

Stevie: Well, I know a lot of people who are gonna be very excited that you guys have worked things out.

David: Well, that is very touching. I’m glad that we have everyone’s support.

Stevie: Yeah, I think it’s that, uh, and I think it’s the fact that you’ve been a smidge needy this past week? Maybe needy’s the wrong word.

David: Hmmm.

Stevie: Clingy?

David: I see. Well, I’m glad that everyone’s gonna be able to sleep soundly tonight, because I am going to do this.

Stevie: Good luck.

David: Thank you. And I have missed him a lot. And I am very excited to not, not be with him anymore.

Stevie: I know. You sure you don’t wanna wait another day, though? I mean you never know what could show up on your doorstep.

David: I don’t like what you’re insinuating. That said, if a package does arrive, please keep it safe.

And also, I know you’re in a relationship, um, and I’m happy for you, I really am, I just feel like if I didn’t tell you how I felt, I would literally go insane.

“Many of you are excited about the lock and key event. The more I think about it, the more I feel like that game kind of sends the wrong message. Because … it makes it seem like, as soon as you find the right key, everything’s just supposed to work out, right? But life I more complicated than that. Now, I used to think that my one special lock needed to be like super aggressive, and come from a long line of Adriatic royalty, or have a beard, and be really into the woods. Then I realized that sometimes, a special little lock can come along, that you didn’t think would fit because it didn’t look, or act, like the act you thought you needed. So instead of actually giving it a real chance, you throw it away because it was too nice. And liked you too much, and cared. And now that lock has found another key, and you are so happy for it, and you just need to accept that, and find a new lock.” – Alexis Rose
