Neve Campbell: Julia Salinger

Quotes 

• [the family is in the skating rink, Bailey is skating with Sarah, Julia talks to Griffin who is outside] 

  Sarah Reeves : Help!

  [squeals] 

  Sarah Reeves : Hey, Bailey! Bailey, slow down. Slow down.

  [they pass near Julia] 

  Sarah Reeves : Julia, make him stop!

  Julia Salinger : [to Griffin]  No warning? You just walked in, and he fired you. Well, did he at least give you a reason?

  Griffin Holbrook : Something about my attitude. He expects me to treat every customer like they're my best friend or something. I don't know. Who cares?

  Julia Salinger : Well, maybe if you apologized

  Griffin Holbrook : To him? Forget it. He should be apologizing to me. So you wanna blow this place, or what?

  [suddenly, Kirsten takes Julia's hand, while skating along Charlie, Sarah and Bailey] 

  Julia Salinger : Oh, my God!

  [she squeals and the family laughs] 

  Claudia Salinger : Pick me up!

  [Julia takes Claudia's hand but after a while inadvertently lets her go] 

  Julia Salinger : Claudia!

  [she crashes with her arms against the wall] 

• [last lines] 

  [Julia is taking the garbage to the dumpster in the alley behind the restaurant and Griffin approaches her, while inside the band keeps playing Jumping Jack] 

  Griffin Holbrook : You workin' or something?

  Julia Salinger : Just helping. Your replacement isn't working out. What are you doing here?

  Griffin Holbrook : I just thought I might run into you. Maybe we could hang out.

  Julia Salinger : You probably think that's a nice thing to say, don't you? Well, it's not. A nice thing to say is, "I was thinking about you," or, "I really wanna see you."

  Griffin Holbrook : Hey, I don't talk like that, okay? I mean... I'm not... I'm not like that.

  Julia Salinger : Yeah. Well, I am.

  Griffin Holbrook : I got this for you.

  [he shows her a helmet] 

  Griffin Holbrook : I didn't really lose mine. I... I just thought I should probably have another one since... maybe you'd be riding with me some. So... This is for you.

  [she accepts it and they hug] 

• [Charlie arrives home and sees Julia looking inside the fridge] 

  Charlie Salinger : Midnight's a good time for that.

  Julia Salinger : Gotta get it done sometime.

  Charlie Salinger : Is Kirsten here?

  Julia Salinger : Yeah. She came home, grabbed a beer and stormed upstairs. You guys sure make being engaged look romantic.

  Charlie Salinger : I wish I knew how this happens.

  Julia Salinger : What?

  Charlie Salinger : Just tiny things... that mean nothing suddenly mean everything.

  Julia Salinger : Like...?

  Charlie Salinger : [sighs]  Like dancing. I can't dance. I mean, we all know this. This is not news. So why is it suddenly such a big deal?

  Julia Salinger : Well, because every girl, even the smart ones, thinks how great it would be to dance with her husband at their wedding. It's dumb, probably, but it's kind of like there's this tiny part of you that believes that as soon as you start to waltz, this nice voice that knows exactly what it's talking about will come out of nowhere and say, "And they lived happily ever after."

  Charlie Salinger : Great.

  [he attempts to leave the dinning room] 

  Julia Salinger : I can show you, if you want.

  [he sighs and they take hands] 

  Julia Salinger : Just watch my feet and mirror what I do.

  Charlie Salinger : Okay.

  [they start dancing] 

  Julia Salinger : One, two, three, one, two, three. One, two, three, one, two, three. You've got it! See? No problem. And if you loosen your grip, I'll get some blood back in my fingers, and that'd be good too.

  [both laugh] 

  Julia Salinger : Dad taught me how to waltz by standing me on his feet.

  Charlie Salinger : Does Griffin know how well you dance? He should, Jule. It should matter to him because it matters to you. You deserve that.

  Julia Salinger : [sighs]  You can twirl me if you want. Just put your arm up, and I'll spin.

  Charlie Salinger : Okay.

  [they do the twirl, keep dancing and laugh]
