Quotes
Sarah: I did just come out of a long relationship so I may come with baggage.
Chuck: Well I can be your very own baggage handler.
Sarah: Come any closer, I shoot!
Casey: You shoot him, I shoot you, I leave both your bodies here and go out for a late night snack. I’m thinking, maybe pancakes.
Sarah: Listen to me Chuck, those men will hurt you. They’re from the NSA and they’re after you.
Chuck: Why me? I’m nobody! I’m the supervisor of a Nerd Herd at a Buy-More. Maybe one day I’ll be assistant store manager and I don’t even know if I want that job. But you know what? That’s not your problem.
Sarah: Wow, I didn’t think people still named their kids Chuck. Or Morgan, for that matter.
Chuck: My parents were sadists, and carnival freaks found him in a dumpster.
Morgan: But they raised me as one of their own!
