Hannah Horvath

Hannah Horvath is an aspiring writer with an English major living in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.  Her aspirations have not born much fruit unfortunately, if any at all, but she does her best.

Eventually she nabs an e-book deal, but sadly her editor perishes, and so does the deal.  This blunder also contractually eliminates her personal publishing rights for three years.

Subsequently she works as a substitute English teacher, which also doesn’t pan out, so she begins a hopeful career in freelance writing.

Hello, Alistair.  Hello.  As you know, I’ve been working here for over a year.  Which I recently learned means very valuable as opposed to not at all valuable.  And I wanted to let you know that my circumstances have changed and I can no longer afford to work for free. — Hannah Horvath

“Oh, no, I’m not quitting.  I just– I know that Joy-Lynn got hired after interning, So I thought that maybe– I would assume a lot.  No, it is not that, really.  I just, you know, gotta eat.  Do you mean like physically hungry or hungry for the job?” — Hannah Horvath

“Uh, you mentioned that when I was finished with my book, I could send it to you.” — Hannah Horvath

“Hey.  ‘Doll,’ that is what my dad calls me.  I just had the worst ever day.  Um, I got fired from my job.  Well, I was working there for a while so I was technically an intern.  But I was walking over here–  Funny.  I was on my way over here and I was panicking, but then it occurred to me, I’m an English major, there has to be some–” — Hannah Horvath

“Yeah, but you’re an actor, so aren’t you always comparing different literature?” — Hannah Horvath

Yeah, it all looks awesome.  But what about your play?  Can I sit down?  So if I tell you something will you promise that you won’t judge me?  Till yesterday, I got all of my money from my parents.  Does that make you feel sick?  Make you not want to talk to me?  whoa. — Hannah Horvath

Do you know that part on your resume where they ask you to list all of your special skills?  It’s the thing where they ask you to list, like, yoga, Spanish, waterskiing, photoshop.  I feel like I… don’t have any special skills.  What?  What are the requirements?  Now?  Uh… no?  Just– what did you say? — Hannah Horvath

“Okay.  Thank you.  That’s the right spot.  So I can just stay like this for a little while?  Do you need me to move more or like?  I just didn’t know if you wanted to be more like– like that.  I just– I’m sorry about the wrong hole thing.  I just– I don’t want to do it now, and if we did, I’d just want to talk about it and just figure out what– It just not comfortable for me– So you’re not mad at me?” — Hannah Horvath

What do you mean?  They’re illustrations from children’s books mostly. — Hannah Horvath

“That was really good.  That was so good.  I almost came.” — Hannah Horvath

“Okay, you are a 23-year old girl who’s had the same boyfriend for four years, so you’re also allowed to be bored.  That’s an okay excuse, too.  I’m sorry if I minimized it.  I’m just unwilling to accept the idea that you have too great a boyfriend.  Although, if you want someone to feed you abusive rhetoric, just send him to Adam’s house for the night.  He’ll learn a lot.” — Hannah Horvath

I just want someone who wants to hang out all the time and thinks I’m the best person in the world and wants to have sex with only me.  And it makes me feel very stupid to tell you this, because it makes me sound like a girl who wants to, like, go to brunch.  And I really don’t wanna go to brunch, and I don’t want you to, like, sit on the couch while I shop or, like, even meet my friends.  I don’t even want that, okay? — Hannah Horvath

“Why are you so mad at me?” — Hannah Horvath

“I think I have to end it.  I have to.  Why not?  Stop.” — Marnie Michaels

Bye.  I don’t know.  I can’t feel it anymore.  I know, I just–  and it makes me feel like such a bitch ’cause I can feel him being so nice to me.  And yet it makes me so angry. — Marnie Michaels

“You’ve been interning there for a year.  You need to tell them it’s time to get paid.  This is not a joke.  If you can’t afford to pay your half of the rent, Charlie is going to move in here.  I didn’t say that.” — Marnie Michaels

“Hannah, look at me.  He never, ever texts you back.” — Marnie Michaels

The totem of chat.  No, the lowest, that would be facebook, followed by gchat, then texting, then email, then phone.  Face-to-face is, of course, ideal.  But it’s not of this time. — Marnie Michaels

I just know she’s going to show up late, wearing some fabulous blankety dress from a Grecian marketplace and be like… ‘Oh, I can’t remember where I got this.’  But everytime she comes into town, you go one some week-long bender and then she leaves to go off to her next country and I’m left to pick up the pieces. — Marnie Michaels

“Yeah, it was really fun when she fucked Carolyn’s boyfriend.” — Marnie Michaels

“That’s ’cause he was in Prague that semester.  Thanks so much.” — Marnie Michaels

What would be crazy?  What would turn me on the most?  What would turn you on the most?  Okay, uh…Um, what if you were a stranger?  Right?  What if you were just like a totally different person?  You didn’t act like you?  I think Jessa’s here.  You invited Ray?  That’s called dinner. — Marnie Michaels

“You’re not going to work at McDonald’s.” — Marnie Michaels

Maybe you shouldn’t.  You’re super-sensitive to drugs. — Marnie Michaels

“All you need to do is talk to your parents, okay?  You need to ask them to support you for a little itty-bit longer, just while you look for another job.  And tell them that you take your future seriously.  Because you do.  You’re Hannah.” — Marnie Michaels

I’m not mothering her.  I’m literally preventing a disaster from happening. — Marnie Michaels

“See, this is what you do.  You act like I’m uptight, and then I follow suit.  I become uptight.  It is the most frustrating dynamic on the planet.  It drives me crazy.  I can’t stand it.” — Marnie Michaels

That is a really simplistic explanation for what’s going on. — Marnie Michaels

“I pay all the bills in this apartment.  Does that not give me, like, one night off from talking about you and your problems?” — Marnie Michaels

As it happens, I’m not always in the mood to talk about you. — Marnie Michaels

“You’re being very rude right now.” — Marnie Michaels

Okay, fine!  I’m not a good friend.  I’m gonna throw up. — Marnie Michaels

Paris is really where you should be.  If you’re a Francophile like… me and you, obviously.  Then you’ve got to go to France.  I was a live-in educator for these three children, and they all sang.  And their father was a brilliant pacifist thinker. — Jessa Johannson

“Yeah, much better idea.  Totes.  You know, Jessa, I’m– What you’re going through is, like, really, really hard for any young woman, and it totally makes sense that you would wanna escape through drug use, but you have to know that you’re not just my cousin, you’re my friend.  And I could not be more proud of you for getting this abortion.” — Shoshanna Shapiro

I’ve decided I’m not getting a job.  I’m gonna marry Scott the soup mogul, and I’m just gonna be Mrs. Madame Tinsley for the rest of my life.  I’m gonna forgo all of my dreams and ambitions for his, and I’m just gonna become my mother. — Shoshanna Shapiro
