Alice: What’s a meet cute?
Ben: It’s when two people meet each other and instantly fall in love. Like you know, when you reach for the same cereal at the grocery store. It’s adorable, and you’re like “Oh my god, you like Lucky Charms too? That’s amazing, I’m Ben by the way.”

Ben: But the truth is… if you spend your whole life looking for perfect… you wind up with nothing.

Alice: I got to do a little personal maintenance first.
Ben: Yeah.
Alice: You know what I’m saying?
Ben: Sure.
Alice: Got to run the raccoons… out of the trash cans.

Angela: Now, this fine piece right here…
Alice: Mom, no, don’t call me a fine piece.
Angela: What?
Alice: That’s weird, it’s weird, okay.
Angela: You’re my daughter! It’s okay if I think you’re a fine slice.

Ben: If I get a boner, you’ll think that I think you’re attractive, and you’ll never let me live that down.
Alice: Oh my god, okay, I promise I won’t read any subtext into your boner.
Ben: You’re gonna read the boner.

  • Anna Konkle, who co-created the Hulu series PEN15 (2019) with Maya Erskine, appears as a wedding guest.
  • When Ben (Jack Quaid) asks Alice (Maya Erskine) if people tell her they look good together, she replies that people actually ask her why she spends so much time with that Radio Shack employee. Jack Quaid plays Hughie Campbell in The Boys (2019-2025), who starts the show as a Radio Shack-like store employee.
  • The Hawai’i wedding scene was filmed in California. The production team got a Hawai’i license plate for the cab that dropped Alice off at the hotel.
