NASH & CLAUDIA QUOTES
PART 4
Part 1 ++ Part 2 ++ Part 3 ++ Part 4

Nash: Whoo-hoo! We are good. You know what? I think we should challenge Antonio and Jessica to a dance-off. You know, just like that TV show.
Claudia: How drunk are you?
Nash: Oh -- not nearly drunk enough.

Nash: You know, I thought that I would have wanted more Tess in Jess. But it is like seeing Tess with Antonio. And that sucks.
Claudia: It's got to be impossible. Like -- like seeing something you're dying for and aren't allowed to touch. What's so funny?
Nash: What? Me. Myself. I am a sad case. And I know that I am a sad case. And when you know that you're a sad case, you're truly in trouble.

[Nash is drunk]
Claudia: I am not letting you behind the wheel of a lethal weapon.
Nash: What happened to "party on," huh?
Claudia: Fun is one thing, insanity is something else.
Nash: I'll walk.
Claudia: Like you even could.

[Claudia is making out with a drunk Nash]
Claudia: Nash?
Nash: Mm-hmm?
Claudia: If we're going to have passionate, mind-blowing sex, I need you to have it with me and not Schizo Girl [Tess].
Nash: Schizo Girl is gone.
Claudia: Yeah, I know that. The world knows that. But do you know that?

Nash: This is crazy.
Claudia: Yeah, so is falling in love with a woman who doesn't exist.
Nash: Tess is gone. What do you want me to say?
Claudia: That she's gone from your heart.
Nash: Can't. Sorry.

[Waking up in bed and realizing he has just slept with Claudia]
Nash: Oh, God. What the hell have I done?

Claudia: (about Jessica) I'm sure she'd be thrilled to know you moved on.
Nash: Who said I've moved on, huh?
Claudia: It's a step.
Nash: It's a step? First we're friends, now we're taking steps?

Claudia: There's life after Tess.
Nash: "There's life after Tess."
Claudia: She's gone. Wouldn't she want you to move on with your life?
Nash: No. No, she -- she would want me to build a shrine to her and spray my entire body with anti-woman spray.

Claudia: Well, I want you to be happy, even if it's not with me. Because you're not the only one who needs to move on with their life.
Nash: I want that for you, too, Claudia. And I am beginning to believe that maybe we can be friends.
Claudia: We already are.

Nash: Claudia, you deserve better. You deserve love. Real love. I can't give that to you. You deserve more than than just a night of really good casual sex.
Claudia: So do you.

Claudia: Anyway, wouldn't it be better for everyone involved if Jessica and I could get along?
Nash: Because I don't think there's a prayer of that ever happening, is there?

[After Jessica punches Claudia]
Claudia: Got any ice? My jaw hurts like hell.
Nash: It's in the freezer.
Claudia: Along with your heart, perhaps?

Nash: I drank too much, I slept in, I woke up with a hangover so that when Antonio turned up for my scheduled visit with Brennan, he thought -- he was right. I was too messed up to take care of her, so he left with her.
Claudia: And here you are drinking again. Nothing like learning from your mistakes.
Nash: Please don't beat up on me.
Claudia: You deserve it. What are you thinking, Nash? Are you trying to lose your daughter altogether?

Claudia: We could go to Santa Barbara, check out the wineries, do a whole "sideways" thing.
Nash: Now, why would you want to put yourself through that, huh?
Claudia: Uh, without the tasting, for me anyway.

Claudia: You are not seriously thinking about being in Antonio and Jessica's wedding?
Nash: Already had my tux fitted.
Claudia: Oh, well, that's a signed-in-blood commitment.

Claudia: (to Nash) Do you get off on this wallowing?

Nash: I am not in love with Jessica.
Claudia: Just one of her incarnations.

Nash: It wasn't even my idea to go to the wedding. It was Antonio's. I -- I didn't even want to go at first.
Claudia: Then why are you?
Nash: You know why.
Claudia: For Bree?
Nash: Brennan.
Claudia: Who doesn't know the difference between her foot and a chew toy.
Nash: Chew toys are for pets.
Claudia: Whatever.

Nash: I'm trying to do the right thing for the first time in a long time.
Claudia: You can try, but you're a bad boy, Nash. You can't help yourself.

Jessica: I don't need to hear it from you about my wedding or my condition because it's really none of your business.
Claudia: Yeah, it is, kind of, when I see you jerking Nash around.

[Claudia informs Antonio and Cristian that Nash took out a loan from Vincent Jones]
Cristian: Does he know what Vincent does to people that don't pay him back?
Claudia: Maybe someone should tell him. Maybe then he'd think about doing business with me. Well, at least I wouldn't break his legs if he missed a payment.
[Claudia leaves]
Cristian: (to Antonio) Maybe she wouldn't break his legs, but I'm betting you she'll find other ways to make him pay.

Claudia: Oh, it looks like you got your hands full.
Nash: Yeah. Who knew you needed six arms to take care of her? I have no idea how Jessica does this.
Claudia: (with a touch of sarcasm) Oh, yeah. Jessica deserves a medal.

Claudia: Lucky you, Antonio. You get to go away with the woman you love while I'm stuck here in love with a man who's in love someone else, someone who doesn't exist. Good times.

Roxy: Don't go fall in love with someone like that chick that you've been hanging out with, Miss Psycho-Blondie.
Nash: Claudia?
Roxy: Yeah, because she's trouble. Big trouble, with a capital B and a capital T.

Cristian: Well, there's -- there's Claudia. She's into you.
Nash: Hmm. Claudia's a little high maintenance? All right?
Cristian: Tell me what woman isn't.

Nash: Whoo-hoo! You put one on again last night, didn't you? Hmm?
Claudia: Back off, Nash. Don't judge me.
Nash: No, I'm sorry. It's just that you're hung-over, and last time I checked, that wasn't the 12th step.
Claudia: You comfy up there on the moral high ground?

[Nash has arrived at Jessica's house for his scheduled visit with Brennan]
Claudia: (to Nash) Doesn't it bother you to come here with your hat in your hand and say, "Thank you for letting me see my own daughter"?

Claudia: The Nash I used to know would do whatever it takes to win, to bring Tess out and live in this big house with her.
Nash: Yeah, except that Tess is gone and I am reminded of that fact every single time I see Jessica.

[Jessica accuses Claudia of being after Nash]
Claudia: Let me lay it out for you. When I want something or someone, games aren't necessary. And as for Nash's broken heart -- it's not you he wants, but the dormant chick inside of you. So get over yourself. Oh. You want to talk about games? How about I tell your new husband that you're in my face because you want to keep Nash on a string in case things don't work out?

[Nash is carrying a ton of packages for Brennan]
Claudia: Aw. For me? You shouldn't have.
Nash: And I didn't.

Jessica: I somehow concluded that there weren't nearly enough presents under the tree for Jamie and Bree.
Claudia: Hmm. Well, why shouldn't she get twice as many presents? I mean, she just has two daddies and two mommies, right?
[Jessica and Nash stare at her]
Claudia: (innocently) Did I say something wrong?

Nash: I'm sorry. I should've realized that this was your first Christmas without your dad.
Claudia: I -- I know he was crazy, but he was all I had.
Nash: Well, keep up like this and he's all you'll ever have.
Claudia: Huh. I know. I -- god. I'm sorry. I should just go to a meeting and take it out on a bunch of strangers.
Nash: Hmm. Here's a better idea -- how about you don't take it out on anybody and just be happy?
Claudia: Whoa.
Nash: Hmm. Something to think about.

Claudia: Hot cider -- mulled, unspiked.
Nash: Whoopee.
Claudia: Welcome to my world. Wait, wait -- what should we drink to?
Nash: Better times.
Claudia: To better times. Hmm. I don't know about you, but a couple of pulls off this and I'm suddenly filled with Christmas spirit.

[Claudia is drunk]
Nash: Why would you do this, Claudia? Why would you go back to the bottle? You were doing great.
Claudia: Who says I was doing great? My life sucks. I'm stuck in this town with no friends, no you, and -- but where else am I going to go? I mean, I have no friends anywhere, and still no you.
Nash: I thought you understood.
Claudia: I lied. I can never get over losing you to Jessica.
Nash: Tess.
Claudia: Oh, Tess. Jess/Tess, Tess/Jess -- I don't know what I'm saying, I'm so wasted. Hmm.

Claudia: Thanks for taking over for me.
Nash: No problem.
Claudia: Next year, I hope you get everything you want this year. I mean that.
Nash: Thank you.
