Jane Austen Book Club 珍奧斯汀讀書會
【丹尼爾對於單身的賈思琳為愛狗舉行隆重葬禮難以苟同，女兒阿蕾格看法不同】
Daniel: This whole thing is warped.
Alegra: I find that personally offensive, Dad.
Daniel: What?
Alegra: I mean, I may never be married or be a mother. Yes, some gay women get some version of that but we don't all need the same things.
Daniel: Can we at least agree that human beings need human connection. You know... companionship, conversation, sex.
Allegra: You get those things from mom, Jocelyn gets those things from her dogs.
丹尼爾：搞成這樣實在太離譜了吧。
阿蕾格：爸，我覺得你這是人身攻擊ㄟ。
丹尼爾：怎麼會？
阿蕾格：我是說，我以後可能永遠不會結婚或生小孩。沒錯啦，有些女同志可能會有某種形式的婚姻，但是我們不需要都過同樣的生活吧！
丹尼爾：妳難道不認為人都需要與他人有所連結嗎？就像是...同伴、交談、性關係。
阿蕾格：你要的這些你有媽給妳，賈思琳則是由狗來給她。

【柏娜德提議組珍奧斯汀讀書會】
Bernadette: All Jane Austen, all the time. It's the perfect antidote.
Prudie: To what?
Bernadette: To life.
柏娜德：只讀奧斯汀，全時間閱讀。真是太棒的良藥了。
普洛蒂：治什麼的良藥？
柏娜德：治生活啊。

【讀書會裡唯一男性葛里格談到身體的慾望】
Grigg : Isn't physical attraction one of the ungovernable forces? You know like gravity, that's what we like about it. Down hill, release the breaks, loosen the breaks and then whoosh!
葛里格：身體的吸引力難道不是根本控制不了的嗎？就像地心引力，所以我們才會這麼無法自拔。就像下坡，慢慢放掉煞車，煞車全放，然後「咻－－」！

【讀書會成員席薇雅談到好友賈思琳】
Sylvia: I adore Jocelyn, but... If loving is letting go, then who wants Jocelyn is going to have to pry her fingers loose, one by one.
席薇雅： 我很欣賞賈思琳。不過，如果愛一個人是為對方拋開一切，那誰想要賈思琳愛他就得去把她的手指頭一根一根扳開才行。

【讀書會裡的中學女老師成員普洛蒂談到自己與某個學生的感情關係】
Prudie: I'm in love with one of my students. I mean, nothing's happened, much. It could if I let it... I fantasize about him constantly.
Bernadette: Sweetie, your mother died. This is grief.
Prudie: He looks at me like he's the spoon, and I'm this dish of ice cream.
Bernadette: It's a good thing we're reading Sense and Sensibility next.
普洛蒂：我愛上我的一個學生了。不過，我們還沒有發生什麼事，頂多一點點吧。我如果要的話，隨時可以...。我一直在幻想他的種種。
柏娜德：親愛的，妳母親剛過世，妳其實是悲傷。
普洛蒂：他看我的眼神好像他是根湯匙，我是他面前的一杯冰淇淋。
柏娜德：還好我們下一本要讀的是《理性與感性》。

【葛里格抱怨女性都不愛個性好的男人】
Grigg: Women never go for the nice guys.
Jocelyn: Please, men say that, but when you get to know some of these men who complain the most, you find out they're not as nice as they think they are.
葛里格：妳們女性都不會選擇個性好的男人。
賈思琳：拜託，你們男人都這樣說。等我們真的認識幾個最會發這種牢騷的男人之後，就發現他們個性根本不像自己說得那麼好。
