Hey, you know what?  Don’t, okay?  I know what you all think, that there is something wrong with me.  That Erica, she’s so pretty and so bright and such a frigging disappointment.  I get it.  And I’m suffocating under the weight of your collective disapproval.

You know what?  Just don’t, okay?  Because I know what you’re all thinking, that there’s something wrong with me…Why is this happening?!

  • Dr. Tom: The world is full of fence-sitters. You know, you sit on a fence long enough and you're liable to fall off.
  • Erica: What is that, Plato?
  • Dr. Tom: No, I just made that up. 'The life which is unexamined is not worth living.' That's Plato.
"My name is Erica Strange. I’m 32, still working a dead end job, still sleeping with my cat. I know people wonder why the cute girl with the great education and the great friends can’t get it together. There’s a simple answer: bad decisions. I could teach a course on messing up your life. Really, I’m that good at getting everything wrong."
