Speaker: Hannah Horvath
"'Cause it's a Wednesday night, baby, and I'm alive."
Maybe I don't care about being polite, okay? 'Cause it's a Wednesday, baby, and I'm alive.
Context
This line was spoken by Hannah Horvath (played by Lena Dunham) in the episode "Bad Friend," written by Lena Dunham and Sarah Heyward, in the show Girls (2012- ).
In this episode, Hannah embraces some vague thing called "freedom," wearing a yellow mesh top and doing cocaine while dancing to Icona Pop in order to help her write an article for the editor of a random website, who promises her freelance work. We know it's hard to find paid writing work, but yikes, this is going too far.
It's totally cool to have a good time, but being mean to two of your closest friends and making out with your drug addict neighbor is a big no-no. And that's exactly what Hannah does. She even kicks out her current roommate, Elijah, because he slept with her old roommate Marnie.
But, hey, at least she had fun and did enough crazy stuff to fill a Hunter S. Thompson book. And all on a Wednesday too.
Where you've heard it
You've heard this one of your friends is tired of adulting and just wants to do something crazy and (hopefully) memorable.
Pretentious Factor
If you were to drop this quote at a dinner party, would you get an in-unison "awww" or would everyone roll their eyes and never invite you back? Here it is, on a scale of 1-10.
Despite the context, this is a fun quote and perfect for parties.
