Erin:Erin: 'You had me at clookies. I can't wait to find out what they are.'
Meredith · Erin:Meredith trying to get Erin to take a shot: 'The fifth one is for you, Erin. You can take it or leave it. To take it would be to accept that you're at a party and you're an adult woman with an adventurous spirit. To leave it would be fine, too.'

Andy · Erin:Andy: 'Couple of dopes on the slopes.' Erin: 'Oh. Like a goodbye trip?' Andy: 'No. What?'
Erin:Erin's talking head: 'I guess Andy isn't totally over his current girlfriend. But if he was jealous once before, then maybe I can make him jealous again. Just not with Robert. He told me he was a ridel wouldn't survive and I believe him.'
