Quotes from The Unsinkable Sydney Hansen


Robbie: Doesn't Richie have blankets at his house?
Joanie: Hello! This is no ordinary blanket, this is Fuzzy Banky. She can't go an entire week without him.

Robbie: You know, I don't think I can handle the both of you being in love at the same time. All this cheerfulness is hard to take.

Joanie: For all you know he could be a serial killer... or worse, married.

Syd: So, you like pancakes.
John: And you like non-fat yogurt and granola.
Syd: No, I like pancakes, I eat non-fat yogurt and granola.

Joanie: Why don't you hang out with Burt and me? We're gonna go to the art museum today.
Syd: Why?
Joanie: We're gonna try to bore ourselves to death.

Joanie: Look at us, sitting around waiting around for men. Is this how our mother raised us? Uh... scratch that. Is this how we want to spend our evening?

Joanie: Everybody knows that bartenders are the best thing about bars.

Sylvia: I can't remember the last time I saw easy. You do your best for your kid. You worry about his grades, you make sure he wears a jacket and you give him apples because he needs them and gummy worms because he likes them. And you want him to be happy so you tell him it's okay if he doesn't like basketball. And you buy him a skateboard and one day you get the call and you wish you could just go back to the night before when you watched him sleeping and you thought everything was safe.

Syd: Admit it, mom, I was right. He does care a lot about me.
Lynda: Don't monogram the towels just yet, dear.
