Why do people love the HBO series "Girls?" Part of the fun is the cascade of 21st century epigrams.
Every episode belches out a dozen or so quotables: The exotic Jessa to her older, uninteresting husband: "I tell my friends you were a test tube baby, just to give you a little edge."
The irritable coffeehouse manager Ray, when his new employee Hannah shows up for work in a white dress: "Forget all the BBC you watch at home with your cats and come back with an appropriate outfit."
The protagonist Hannah on her boyfriend Adam: “I know I’ve always said he’s murdery in a sexy way, but what if he’s really murdery in a murder way?”
Hannah's irrepressible gay ex-boyfriend Elijah readying for a night on the town: "Let's have the type of night where it's 5 am and one of us has definitely punched someone who's been on a Disney channel show."
But it's more than the lines. We'll discuss the mystique of 'Girls' today.
