Still Up
Fridays on Apple TV+Still Up Season 1 Episode 8: "The Wedding" Quotes
Lisa: I’m not sleeping with him, Veggie. Am I?
Veggie: No. It would make more sense to me if you were. I don’t think you know what it’s like for your partner to come alive as soon as you go to bed. It’s like I sleep through all of your shine. I wish you were sleeping with him. At least I could be angry, you know. We could work through it, but I don’t even know what the problem is, let alone how to fix it.
Lisa: I’m really sorry I’ve been distant lately.
Veggie: You have because you thought I was going to propose.
Lisa: What?
Lisa: Oh, I’m like you now.
Danny: No, to become like me, you need a very special kind of dumping. The kind of humiliation that literally keeps you up every single night.
Lisa: We should go dancing, like right now. What’s stopping us?
Danny: Well, me. Hello. I’m agoraphobic.
Lisa: But you left the flat to come and find me.
Danny: But that was, well, that was different.
Lisa: Well, how?
Danny: Well, because you needed me.
Chloe: Who does that? Proposing at someone else’s wedding and still managing to screw it up.
Danny: It was in my pocket.
Chloe: It’s not about the ring, Danny. I was never going to say yes.
Danny: Why?
Chloe: It’s so clear to me now. I’ve outgrown you. I thought we were going down the same road together, but the truth is, you’re going nowhere. Nowhere I want to go, anyway.
Danny: Why would you do that?
Lisa: I don’t know.
Danny: You don’t know. There’s no reason. You just said…
Lisa: Of course, there was a reason!
Danny: Then what’s the reason? Lisa, tell me the reason. What’s the reason?
Lisa: Because I thought that you deserved better. I could see that Chloe was using you, and you didn’t deserve that because I just met you, but I could already tell how kind and funny you were. And because I liked you.
Veggie: I’ve never found it easy with words.
Lisa: I know.
Veggie: I’ll always be your Veggie, Lisa, for as long as you want me to be.
Lisa: Why did you come?
Danny: I wanted to say, whatever happens, I’ll be here.
I’ll be your mirror, Lisa. I see the real you. I do. The warm, kind, funny, certifiably crazy person who would do absolutely anything for anyone. Like, steal someone’s engagement ring so they don’t make the biggest mistake of their life. When you need someone to remind you of how great that person is, I want you to call me.
Danny
