start-ups
Paul: Scored a PE gig, will be working on LBOs for tech start-ups.
Erin: Hah! We're on opposite ends of the spectrum! I'm doing start-up babies and you're doing start-up grandpas.
“Babe are you tryin’ to kill me? Cause I just died and gone to heaven.”

happy to help
Michael: I'm happy to help in any way.
Erin: Thanks my babe!
Michael: I'm going to force you to accept my help. Because - you don't ask for my help, ever. I mean, you ask for my opinion and stuff, but now I'm going to forcibly help you.

peacocking
Erin: Beards are gross.
Michael: I used to have chin straps.
Erin: But on you, that's hot!
Michael: I was peacocking.
gross handbag
Erin: Gross handbag.
Elise: Do you even own a handbag? Nike sports bags don't count.
Erin: But they're NIKE!
Elise: I take that as a no.
Erin: And since Michael has them too I now have TWICE the amount of Nike sports bags!!!
Elise: Lol. But what do you take to work?
Erin: I am my own boss and always will be. I work in my Nike short shorts, my Nike sweatshirt, and my Nike sports bag!
valentines day gifts
Diane: I'm remembering his vday gift last year. It's pretty hilarious now that I think of it.
Erin: What was it?
Diane: It was a flower he plucked from outside my dorm, and a kitkat. Both of which were sitting in an amazon box which Paul discarded.
Erin: OMG that is TERRIBLE!
Diane: Pretty laughably terrible. I just said, "Oh, thank you!"
isle of man
Michael: Isle of Man?
Erin: There's a place called Isle of Man?
Michael: Apparently.
Erin: Whoah cool! On the Isle of Man there's a Port Erin!
Michael: Of course there would be, babe.
milkshakes and protein
Diane: *has been eating banana milkshakes all week*
Erin: Have you been getting enough protein?
Diane: Ahh I've been getting chicken. But yeah you're right, not enough protein I think. Hrm, there's some in the bananas which I just had.
Erin: Protein in bananas? Are these protein-fortified bananas?
Diane: Oops. No?
Erin: LOL. Diane!
Diane: I guess not?
Erin: How much do you weigh?
Diane: 124 lbs.
Erin: Ok, so there's 1g of protein in a banana. And you need about 124g of protein a day. Which means, to get your protein fix, you'd have to eat 124 bananas if you consider them a protein source.
Diane: Hahahaha! *making scrambled eggs now*

corn
Erin: Look at this website the corn industry made to promote high fructose corn syrup.
Jason: Did you say corn...or porn?
Erin: Corn! Like from fructose corn syrup!
Jason: You never know.
Chris: Well, one of them is better for you...and I'm sure it's porn.

entrepreneurs east coast versus west coast
East Coast: Do you know how hard that is? You have to worry about patents. Then you have to worry about the FDA. And make sure you have an MD on you team and a PHD. And make everyone sign an NDA. You know what...you should just build an app.
West Coast: I love your idea! GO FOR IT.
girls in heels
Zubair: Look at that girl wearing heels to shop at Frys.
Erin: You know there are girls that wear heels everywhere - even to the gym?
Zubair: Yes, I like it. It makes it obvious which girls to avoid.
