TED: If you don't hold still, it's gonna hurt worse BILL: That's way too much to pay for some fucking splash back.
TED: That's what they cost, and you're calling it a splash back, - and it's called a backsplash.
- BILL: Jesus Christ.
Will you please stop breathing down my neck for one fucking second? I'm not anywhere near your neck TED: They always have the neatest flower arrangements on the table, candles are lit for you.

TED: Oh, my God, you're exhausting.
Take a yoga class or something.
I mean, meditate, breathe.
Jesus TED: I just want us to constantly be evolving.
BILL: Evol Okay.
This is not about us evolving.
This is about all about you wanting to suck Geoffrey's dick.
TED: You know, I want to suck a lot of dicks before I die, Bill.
