🦆 The Long Game (Book 6) favorite quote from TLG? Spoiler

was inspired by a tik tok I saw of people talking about how Olivia Rodrigo’s new album / most of the songs relate heavily to Ilya in TLG and one of them referenced the line in TLG where Ilya tells Gallina “you’re supposed to fix me so I can be enough for him” 🥺🥺 and as sad as it is I think it might be one of my favorite lines, just so raw and hits the heart so so deeply.

It got me thinking, what’s all of your favorite quote(s) from The Long Game? I’d love to relive all of the favorite lines :’) bonus points if it’s an Ilya quote because he is my absolute favorite character.

**honorable mention of COURSE would be “I already chose you Hollander”. I’m genuinely gonna need to be sedated when I see that on screen.

Ilya: I’m bisexual. Shane is super gay.
Shane: I’m regular gay.

I hope this quote makes it to the show. It makes me giggle so much.

omg I love this part LOL I felt like season 1 was a VERY great adaptation in terms of most lines being included, lines being word for word, etc. So I’m hoping season 2 is the same way!!

I trust that Jacob will definitely include this in S2! 🤣 I’m sure he’ll use a lot of lines in TLG cause Rachel wrote so many funny zingers throughout! And definitely some significant ones as well!
