“Northern Exposure”: Memorable lines
As a follow-up to the recap, here are some memorable lines from the “Northern Exposure” episode. Did I miss your favorites? Add them in the comments.
Kitty: Our average viewer is a 50-year-old white guy who makes $100,000 a year. What does he need to stay safe from?
Sarah: When one’s father embezzles 15 million dollars of his own company’s pension money, one can’t really afford to be sentimental.
Justin: Sarah, what were you thinking?
Sarah: I was thinking it might be fun to stay out of bankruptcy.
Kevin: But the ranch! Why not just sell our childhoods?
Sarah: Cause they’re not worth nine million dollars.
Nora: I think we should trust Sara’s judgment. If she’s determined we should sell the ranch house, we should sell the ranch house.
Justin: Someone call an exorcist. Mom’s possessed!
Kevin: I lost my virginity in Ojai. Both times.
Justin: I’ve been with enough Catholic girls to know that “good Catholic girl” is an oxymoron.
Kitty: You say you want to appeal to the youth market. What could be more youthful and appealing than Amber?
Kitty, to Warren: You will stop once and for all with your midday afteroon love confessions.
Kitty: We’re preparing for a very big interview.
Nora: Is that the euphemism of choice these days?
Tommy: I want to start up the old tractor.
Kevin: Could you run over me with it instead?
Tommy: You know what a screwdriver looks like?
Kevin: It’s orange and it comes in a glass filled with ice.
Tyler: Let’s relive what a loser you were when you were 16.
Justin: I’m trying to figure out why I’m not mad when you talk to me like that.
Tyler: Because it’s nice when someone tells you the truth.
Warren: Your family seems pretty much to the left of the salad fork. How did they end up with you?
Sarah: Attic sex is much better than treehouse sex.
Kevin: This does not fall under the parameters of normal brotherly duty.
Sarah: Since when is this a normal family?
Kevin: We can’t keep secrets in this family.
Kevin: Scotty, please, this is my family. If you’re not going to support me, then shut up.
Nora: Of all the madness I have ever witnessed from you, this takes the cake. Tommy, I am so sorry. I know how much it means to you to be a father. Kevin, if you don’t want to help your brother, that’s your business. It’s not like you’re asking to borrow his car, for God’s sake. Sarah, you have no place to judge. No! I would have expected it from Kitty.
Nora: It seems like I’m always apologizing for my family. If they’re not falling out of trees they’re killing each other over sperm.
Kevin: You know, this whole anonymity thing is a joke. If the kid’s well-dressed and witty, it’s mine.
Justin: You don’t stand a chance. My little dudes have been to war.
Kevin: And stoned for the last 10 years.
Tommy: That’s enough sperm talk for the rest of my life.
Justin: You’re not going to ask us for a kidney, are you?
Tommy: I wouldn’t touch your kidney with a ten foot pole.
