• Pete : I'm telling you, she is more of a treasure than you could possibly know. She is not just some wholesome, small town girl, some like, good for you breath of fresh air. Tad, she is a wonderful person with a huge heart. And the kind of beauty that a guy only sees once, you know? Once! So Tad, if there is even a chance that you could break her heart, please, just for her sake, walk away man.

  Tad : I could never break Rosalee's heart, okay?

  Pete : Good. Because if you do, I swear to God I will tear you to pieces with my bare hands. Or vicious rhetoric.

  Tad : You're a good guy, Pete.

  Pete : Well, yes. Apparently not good enough.

• Rosalee : Do you think it's possible to love someone your whole life and never really realize it until something happens that makes you see?

  Tad : [looking puzzled but amazed]  What's that from?

  Rosalee : It's not from anything, I'm just saying it to you.

• Tad : Yeah, Pete told me if I ever hurt you; that he would tear me to pieces with his bare hands or with his rhetoric.

  Rosalee : Pete told you if you hurt me, he would tear you to pieces with his bare hands or with his rhetoric? That is so... adorable.

  Tad : Pete, did you ever see the movie I did called "The Man Named Jackson"?

  Pete : If it came out Tad... then I saw it...

  [Tad comes over to help Pete with the ax] 

  Pete : You know what... yeah, I think that the ax is actually broken...

  [Tad pulls the ax out of the wood easily] 

  Pete : Yeah huh... that's great...

  [Tad slaps Pete easily on his chicken chest] 

  Pete : Heh...

• Tad : [to Rosalee]  What happened here tonight was a force of nature. Two people set out to be friends, but nature would have none of it. Nature wanted them to be more and nature's going to want that tomorrow.

• Tad : Do you guys have any suites?

  Hotel Clerk : Sure we got sweets. We got some lollies down here by the register, if you wanna pop on by and get yourself a lolly.

• Tad : I am the boy-next-door... if you live in a dysfunctional neighborhood.
