Best Lines of the Week (June 16-22): ‘It’s Not Crazy. It’s Valentino’
Streaming went full-throttle this week, releasing new seasons of our favorites and new series that are sure to join that list. No matter the case, these shows packed a punch with great dialogue.
And Just Like That… premiered its sophomore season updating us on our favorite fashionista, Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), and with the lead-up to the Met Gala. The Bear returned, with Carmy (Jeremy Allen White), Sydney (Ayo Edebiri), and the rest gearing up to open their new restaurant (and quite the guest list for one Season 2 episode).
Plus, there were live events like the U.S. Open and America’s Got Talent that never fail to provide iconic moments with memorable quotes. From witnessing Wyndham Clark’s first career win to golden-buzzer moments, we were kept on the edges of our seats.
With that in mind, scroll down for the lines we loved this week.
