Jake QUOTES

1 " New hair, new clothes-the classic relationship break-up makeover," Jake said. breaking up with Sam. He just didn't know it. "

2 " I laughed as we turned in a tight circle... " Tonight you're all mine." Jake smiled but looked me dead in the eye. " No. From now on." My heart skipped. " What?" " Yours," he said simply, " from now on. "

3 " Late twenties, single, female. Do the math.
Flirty flings were fabulous until you hit the big three-O, all downhill
from there. Biological clocks started ticking like time bombs waiting to
detonate, gravity exerted more force on your life than your mom, and
suddenly, the dog-ugliest creep looked like Jake Gyllenhaal. "

4 " Aaron’s mouth dropped open when he entered the “room;” it was more like a huge open loft … no walls, huge floor to ceiling windows, shiny hardwood floors … perfect for a studio. He had no idea how Jake had acquired such a huge space in Manhattan.
As if reading his mind, Alyson leaned over and whispered, “He bought the place next door and tore down the walls.”
“Perfect,” replied Aaron, “and did he happen to find a treasure chest hidden in one of the walls as well?”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean, how the holy hell does he afford this place? He looks like he’s twelve.”
“He’s twenty-two, and he happens to be quite successful.”
“At twenty-fucking-two?”
“He was born with talent?” Alyson said questioningly.
“He’s a lucky wanker who blew the right people?” suggested Aaron.
Alyson tried to scowl but grinned instead, “A child prodigy?”
“A deal with the devil?”
“Naturally gifted?”
“An indulgent sugar daddy?”
“How about ‘c) All of the above’?” asked a third voice from behind the partition at the far corner of the studio. "

5 " Oh. Momma told me not to tell you that your bed squeaks. But I think you know, 'cause I could hear it this morning. Jake dropped his fork. Tor, for the first time Jake had ever seen, turned scarlet. Maureen looked at them both and sighed. Christmas is always so interesting with you, Mark. "

7 " Stupid bitch," he spits, and that's when I mentally punch him in the face.Except it isn't just mentally—it's for real, my closed fist is actually moving. It hits him square in the nose with a sickening crunch." Oh my God," Laney breathes from behind me." Oh my God," Jake says from the floor.My eyes widen. " Oh my God. "

8 " Seth turns to Laney and I. " Three months ago, I'm in Detroit protesting a free trade conference, right? Some pig shoves me, I go flying into another, next thing I know I'm on the ground with a Taser in my back. I get thrown in city jail, no money and one phone call. So I call Jake. You know what this fucker did? He dropped everything, drove up and bailed me out, no questions." " Like I could just leave you," Jake says. " You're too pretty. You're a delicate flower. They would've ripped you apart in there. "

9 " The chef turned back to the housekeeper. “Why is there doubt about the relations between Monsieur and Madame Rutledge?”

The sheets,” she said succinctly.

Jake nearly choked on his pastry. “You have the housemaids spying on them?” he asked around a mouthful of custard and cream.

Not at all,” the housekeeper said defensively. “It’s only that we have vigilant maids who tell me everything. And even if they didn’t, one hardly needs great powers of observation to see that they do not behave like a married couple.”

The chef looked deeply concerned. “You think there’s a problem with his carrot?”

Watercress, carrot—is everything food to you?” Jake demanded.

The chef shrugged. “Oui.”

Well,” Jake said testily, “there is a string of Rutledge’s past mistresses who would undoubtedly testify there is nothing wrong with his carrot.”

Alors, he is a virile man . . . she is a beautiful woman . . . why are they not making salad together? "

10 " Your marriage," Jake said, almost impatiently. " It's like the grapes. Just a paint job." He went straight to bed. "

11 " Actually, Jake said, isn't life what we make it, wherever we are, whenever we may be - wherever it is that we are? "

12 " How can the strength of one man stand against Jake and an army of demons?" " He can," I countered, " if he has the power of Heaven on his side. After all, Christ was a man." " He was also the Son of God, there's a difference." " Do you think they could have crucified him if he wasn't human?" I asked. " He was flesh and blood, just like Xavier. You've been here so long you underestimate the power of humans. They're a force of nature. "

13 " You know, I'm not even sure how we ended up living together." " I am," Jake said, turning back to the lake. " Sex. It's a powerful force, my boy, and women use it." " Is that why you gave them up?" Will asked, sympathetically. " Did paranoia drive you to celibacy? "

14 " Of course you can trust me," Jake Hix said. " We read the same books. "

15 " Look, I’ve already fucked you twice. You don’t have to flatter me. Besides, I love my friends way too much to trade them in for the sake of looking hotter.”
“Seriously?”
“Yeah. I mean, Casey has been my best friend since, like, forever, and she’s the most loyal person I’ve ever met. And Jessica… well, she has no idea about me and her brother. We weren’t friends back then. In fact, I didn’t want to know her after Jake and I split, but Casey said it would be good for me, and she was right… as usual. Jessica can be a little ditsy, but she’s the sweetest, most innocent person I know. I could never give either of them up just to look good. That’d make me a real dumbass.”
“Then they’re lucky to have you.”
“I just said not to flatter-”
“I’m being honest.” Wesley frowned at the mirror. “I have only one friend-one real friend. Harrison is the only guy who will be seen with me, and that’s because we aren’t trying to attract the same audience, if you know what I mean.” A small smile spread across his lips when he turned to face me. “Most people will do anything to avoid being the Duff.”
“Well, I guess I’m not most people. "

16 " I can barely breathe. I feel like I’m going to explode. Jake Wilder is kissing me. French-kissing me. Is he even supposed to be French-kissing me for the play? I thought… Oh, who cares if he’s supposed to or not. He is, that’s all that matters. "

17 " Hey, I wish we hung out more in high school. Why didn’t we?”
“I was hiding,” Jake said thoughtfully.
“Me too.”
“You?”
“In my own way.”
Hearing that made Jake wonder if they’d all been in hiding, if he hadn’t been the only one who’d felt alone for so much of high school. "

18 " I'm fine." " You know how Flynn defines 'fine' as an answer?" Jake asked him conversationally. " He says it usually translates as an anagram: Fucked up, Insecure, Neurotic and Emotional. So which one do you want to go for? "

19 " Wow," Jake said, his face going blank. " Assface. Is that a technical term? Maybe some kind of psychiatric diagnosis I'm not familiar with? "

20 " Oh. Dane. That's his name, right?" she asked. " He took our phones and put the shackles on us, but said we could use the phone on the table. I'm not sure if it's some kind of dominance posturing," she trailed off for a moment. " Actually yeah, having been around him for more than thirty seconds, I'm relatively certain that this is one hundred percent, testosterone-laden alpha male posturing. Is Jake like this?" " I might be an idiot," I said, " but even I wouldn't fall for this sort of thing. A guy who goes to this length to seem awesome must have a dick the size of a gherkin. "
