- "If you order absinthe, I’m going to assume that you have at least five leather-bound books from the 1800s and maybe like, three friends."
- "Gin & Tonic with cucumber: You're a housewife and your husband didn't notice your new fancy shoes, which made you upset at first, but then you realized it doesn't matter because you're possibly having an affair with the pool boy."
- "The guy who orders a Jack and Coke is just waiting for a good fight in a couple of hours."
