Quotes
-
Macon : So do you hate me?
Halley : Not you, per se. I hate the way that your hair falls in your face. And I hate the way that your voice gets really low when you're serious.
[Macon bites lower lip]
Halley : And I hate the way that you bite your bottom lip when you're nervous. And the way your eyebrow goes
[whistles and motions with hand]
Halley : like that. I hate that.
Macon : So that's it? You just hate the way I walk and talk and look.
Halley : No. That Jedi mind trick thing? I hate that.
-
Macon : Dun, Dun, Dun. Stand back. Leaf man to the rescue.
Halley : Where did you get that?
Macon : Well you know a guy's gotta pay for gas and bacon burgers somehow right?
Halley : And toys because I imagine star wars figurines must get pretty expensive.
Macon : I do not have any star wars figurines... well... not many. And I don't play with them... much
-
Macon : You're gonna let this slide, because it's only the first day , it was an honest mistake, and the fire got put out as quickly as it was started.

[Michael is shopping around for a card for Scarlett with the "assistance" of Macon]
Macon Forrester : [reading a card] Let me count the ways that this card can be used to induce... nausea, gastric distress, vomiting.
Michael Sherwood : Yeah, go ahead and mock me, but this is serious. I need to find something funny and something sweet - just the way Scarlett is. Remember that time I got her...
Macon Forrester : Okay. Look, here's one.
Michael Sherwood : Not helping.
[Macon starts reading a card]
Macon Forrester : "From small beginnings come great things."
[Michael grabs the card, finishes reading it and looks up, unamused]
Michael Sherwood : "Congratulations on your new baby." I thought you were gonna help.
Macon Forrester : Oh come on, lighten up, Sherwood.
[Michael grabs another card and starts reading]
Michael Sherwood : "The first we met, you stole my heart."
[Macon snatches the card from Michael]
Macon Forrester : "Good luck in finding a compatible organ donor." Nice.
[Michael makes a face]
Macon Forrester : I'm kidding, okay? It's blank inside.
Michael Sherwood : You know something? You're not too funny, Forrester. This girl is amazing - unlike you - and she's sensitive - unlike you. And she's sexy...
Michael Sherwood : unlike you.
Macon Forrester : [said simultaneously] Unlike me. There's gotta be a card... for a redhead... from a newly smitten hunka hunka burning love. I mean... look. Summer romance has its own section.
Michael Sherwood : It's not a summer romance. I mean... Scarlett is...
Macon Forrester : Standing right behind you, dude.

Macon : When I ask you to go out with me this Friday night you're gonna think you're the one asking me because you're gonna say 'yes Macon, I would love to go out with you because I know we'll have a totally great time together. In fact, I'd been hoping you'd ask me all week.'
Halley : You wanna go out on a date with me?
Macon : See, I told you you'd ask me.

Macon : If you are ready to jump, I will be here to catch you.
