Quotes edit see section history

• “Shopping was her Xanax, her Red bull, her cure for the common cold: Brooke truly believed anything could be fixed by flexing the trusty plastic rectangles in her wallet. Some might have called it excessive consumption (like her father, if he ever noticed the bills), but Brooke preferred to think of it as philanthropy. Those poor schmoes wearing name tags pinned to last season's blouses all worked on commission, and minimum wage wouldn't even buy half a sushi roll at Nobu. Shopping was practically her patriotic duty.”

• “What was the point of being a celebrity legacy if it didn't open doors? Nepotism was only a dirty word if you had no talent.”

• “Children, like protein shakes, are God's greatest present.”

  Brick Berlin

• “Maybe Brick thought the shock would cause a relapse of your tanorexia. That summer you were the color of a traffic cone hurt us all.”

  Shelby Kendall

• “She was an artist with spandex!”

  Brick Berlin

• “She's from one of those middle states? Dad, why would you ever let a tabloid hear about this? She could've just stayed hidden in her cornfield or whatever!”

  Brooke Berlin

• “A lot to deal with? Math is a lot to deal with. A crater-faced half sister from the sticks crashing the most important night of my life is a total nightmare.”

  Brooke Berlin

• “There's no sunscreen for the limelight.”

  Brick Berlin

• “I just read in HEY! that Jennifer Lopez is starting a sneaker line called Flan, where they're all named after different desserts.”

  Charmaine

• “Just remember, I love you like Homer Simpson loves beer.”

  Danny

• “I mean, we can't do it without polar bears. White fur is the apex of fear. Everyone knows that.”

  Brick Berlin

• “Costumes are fantastic! So important! An actor is naked without his clothes.”

  Brick Berlin

• “I just don't trust this person. The girl obviously hasn't had a manicure in weeks. Nobody is that regular.”

  Brooke Berlin

• “He sold naming rights to his kid? I guess it's a good thing he wasn't a NASCAR driver or she might be named Valvoline.”

  Molly Dix

• “Brie, it was a really bad day. I stabbed a hat. Lashing out at accessories is the first sign of a stress tumor.”

  Brooke Berlin

• “I would never lie about shoes. I have morals.”

  Brooke Berlin

• “Brie, it was a really bad day. I stabbed a hat. Lashing out at accessories is the first sign of a stress tumor.”

  Brooke Berlin

• “I would never lie about shoes. I have morals.”

  Brooke Berlin

• “Wordsworthless. I would stomp all over his stupid dancing daffodils if it would make one decent outfit appear in this mess.”

  Brooke Berlin

• “Behold, Los Angelenos, the world's only skittish Hoosier in capitivity.”

  Molly

• “Daddy dumped the lead actress in the middle of filming and you can totally tell. She stops purging with conviction halfway through the second act. So disrespectful.”

  Brooke

• “Excellent. At least at Promises I'll have my own room.”

  Molly

• “What's she going to ruin next? Is she going to shave my head and start wearing my hair?”

  Brooke
