“Valentine’s Day Massacre”: Memorable lines
As a follow-up to the recap, here are some memorable lines from the “Valentine’s Day Massacre” episode. Did I miss your favorites? Add them in the comments.
Kitty: Thank God you picked up! You are never going to believe this. I slept with McCallister!
Sarah: Oh God, Kitty, you scared me. I thought something bad had happened.
Kitty: Something bad did happen. Do you understand that I work for him? He is my boss!
Sarah: Oh, please, sleeping wth co-workers is like a reflex for you. … When have you ever slept with someone you didn’t work with?
Kitty: Think back to your college days when you and all those guys …
Sarah: Finish that sentence and I’m calling my favorite tabloid.
Sarah: So how was he?
Kitty: Sarah, please, as though I would ever … you know, he was great.
Sarah: Really? I thought the only position the Republicans could commit to was missionary.
Kitty: Okay, can we just get back to the fact that I’m in a hotel room with a naked politician/my boss?
Kevin: And just like that, you were going to betray my trust.
Kitty: Oh please, you know what Kevin? You are like the CNN of our family.
Sarah: Get the details, I’ll hold. And I wouldn’t go telling him about Mr. Smith goes to Washington, if you know what I mean.
Kevin: How does he look naked? I bet he looks good. Was it hot in that morally reprehensible kind of way?
Justin: I messed up, bro.
Kevin: Okay, well, at least you’re still alive.
Kitty: Did you tell him?
Kevin: What, that we’re both having sexes with exes?
Sarah: You are all sluts! How is it that I’m the only one who can’t get laid on Valentine’s Day?
Sarah: As for Holly, as long as we don’t have a goldigging mistress division, she’s of absolutely no use to Ojai Foods or to me.
McCallister: I’m seeing a major donor, I need to look like people work for me.
McCallister: You’re on a man diet.
Kitty: A man fast. It’s a man fast.
McCallister: Because that sounds so much better.
Kitty: I’m going to San Diego with a U.S. senator to see a billionaire. I am going to bring options.
Michelle: Let me hook you up with one of my friends.
Kevin: Do they look like you?
Michelle: Yes, they do.
Kevin: Then, no.
Michelle: What, you like big boobs?
Kevin: I’m retired from the boob buiness.
Michelle: Holy crow, you’re, like gay.
Kevin: I’m not “like gay.” I’m the real thing
Holly: Hey, Tommy, do you have five minutes?
Tommy: For you, Holly, I have three.
Sarah: I absolutely have to have sex with my husband tonight. It’s a biological imperative.
Tommy: You don’t trust my judgment, even though the last time you did we found 30 million dollars.
McCallister: You want to be center stage, not bush league.
Kitty: We really have to do something about your mixing of metaphors. Senator, I’m sorry, but you’re just not going to get the presidential nomination.
McCallister: Well, then I’ll work on my metaphors.
Kevin: This whole affair is giving my ulcer an anxiety attack.
Nora: What was her name, Chick or Calf or ..
Justin: Fawn, Mom.
Nora: No girl wants to be left alone. And so what if she turns you down once or ten times. The only things of real value in life are the things you have to fight for.
Justin: That’s great, Mom. You’re teaching me to be a stalker.
Sarah: Hey, Snotface!
Justin: You only call me Snotface when you want something.
Pellington: You are a poor investment. You’re not going to get the nomination. You’re young, you’re Catholic, you’re from California, your brother is gay, and forget all that, there’s the divorce.
Kitty: His name’s not Bob, it’s Robert, and you really should be calling him Senator. Millions of people didn’t elect him to office to be called Bob.
Justin: No ice cream. I’m not putting any more sugar in you, little boy.
Nora: What is this, peer pressure?
Emily: Of course it’s peer pressure. Peer pressure is what makes the world go around.
Emily: Nobody remembers the ’60s, that was half the fun.
Scotty: That’s quite the masculine watch.
Kevin: Thats quite the masculine haircut.
Nora: On the one hand, I feel rejuvenated.
Emily: And on the other hand?
Nora: I’m going to throw up.
Emily: I’m Emily Craft, you’re Nora Walker, we’re two nice old ladies.
Nora: I’m not old!
Justin: I’ll get out of here as soon as I say what I came to 19 different restaurants to say.
McCallister: As long as you didn’t sleep with him.
Kitty: Well, this isn’t “Indecent Proposal” and believe me, I am no Demi Moore.
McCallister: I once had a major thing for her.
McCallister: There’s still a few hours left in Valentine’s Day. I think we should go find all the happy couples and, you know, throw things at them.
McCallister: Why? If we both feel the same way about each other, why should I go? And if you say it’s because you work for me, or you’re on a man cleanse, or because I’m recently divorced, or whatever other excuse you’re going to come up with, then I’m here to tell you, you’re about to be out-argued. Because while you were down there dining, I was coming up with a list of counterpoints.
Scotty: Now you know how hard it is to love someone who doesn’t love himself.
Nora: What has the city come to when police are arresting two little old ladies … two mature women and throwing them in jail?
Nora: Any chance of you not telling your siblings about this?
Sarah: Not a big chance, no.
Sarah: You spent a night in jail for smoking pot. This family should have like a bat signal for news this good.
Tommy: This is the best day of my life.
Justin: Who knew you were the black sheep of the family?
McCallister: There’s just one problem. I like you.
Kitty: Oh, great. You like me. What does that mean? We get to hold hands at Cindy Burke’s roller rink party?

Great list, Terri. This episode was really full of memorable one-liners. Another gem from the phone tree…
Justin: Not drugs, moron. I slept with Tyler.
Kevin (feigns indignance): Oh, you ASS.

Thanks, Scott. I almost thought about just putting up that entire opening conversation. All the back and forths and pass-arounds were great, and memorable.

I love the irony of Rob Lowe saying he once had a thing for Demi Moore. Nice homage to St. Elmo’s Fire.
