Based on actual events that never happened:

Paul:  “Hey Hilary how’s your book about losing weight in the winter going?”

Hilary: “I don’t know; it’s kind of slow, I need some inspiration.”

Paul: “Come on Hilary, ‘Inspiration is for amateurs – the rest of us just show up and get to work.’”[1]

Hilary: “Is that so?”

Paul: “Sure I mean, I am not saying that you shouldn’t be inspired sometimes. What I mean to say is that ‘Inspiration exists, but it should find you working.’”[2]

Hilary: “Ow it’s like that huh! You are going to get all poetic on me now?”

Paul: “I’m just saying!”

Hilary: “So what about you lover boy, have you proposed to Michelle yet? I mean do you know that ‘Delay is the enemy of all progress?’”[3]

Paul: “What’s progress got to do with it?”

Hilary: “Ow sweetheart, before you know it she will be progressing herself into some other man’s arms. You should ‘Never make a good woman wait.’”[4]

 

Dante: “Hey Shelby, congratulations, I heard that you’ve been selected for next season’s Ultimate Fighter series. How did you get so lucky?”

Shelby: “Luck has got nothing to do with it, ‘Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.’”[5]

Dante: “I guess you are right. You are always well prepared. Me on the other hand I am never ready for anything.”

Shelby: “Don’t wait until you are ready to take action. Instead take action to be ready.”[6]

 

Charlene: “Amanda please! If you carry on in the way you have, the whole faculty will hate you.”

Amanda: “I’d rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I’m not.”[7]

Charlene: “I wish I was as brave as you are and could tell people off the way you do.”

Amanda: “Charlene, ‘You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it is right.’”[8]

Amanda: “So did you hear that Paul finally proposed to Michelle?”

Charlene: “Are you serious right now? I guess ‘Better late than never.’”[9]

Amanda: “She always wanted to be a wife and a mother, but she is almost 40.”

Charlene: “It’s never too late to be who you might have been.”[10]

Amanda: “Let’s go grab a pizza; I’m starving.”
