If you go to the middle of nowhere with Nick, there’s still going to be someone who knows him, and who has a history with him, he was omnipresent for that
And Nora, as always, discovers things. She should be a detective with Nick, to me she already is one

it’s actually ridiculous how this entire series is a hit with barely any misses. this one is def one of my favs!! the wit & charm that was missing in the previous two was all in this one & i love it.
now. im staying delusional into believing i still got more of this series left for the sake of what little happiness i’ve got at the moment

“i really shouldn't give him a birthday present at all. sneaking off like that, getting drunk, without me.“
myrna and william are the best duo of all time. i love them so freaking much like i can’t even explain it. they were so good in this film ahhhhhhhh i love all of nora’s one liners like i laughed so hard at this. i loved her monologue when she was talking to nick’s dad lmao.
ngl asta carried again. my dad walked by and watched for a few minutes cause he wanted to watch asta hahaha. he’s so real for that. asta is so cute and talented and i love him. i want a dog like him so bad.
mryna loy is so pretty i just wanted to say that. and i will never ever stop saying that. ever.
i’m so sad me and my mom only have one thin man left to watch :(
“i'm a friend of nick's, get it? and i was just passin' by, get it? So, i thought i'd just stop in...“
