Source: Broad City
Speaker: Abbi Jacobson
I'm an adult, and I'm responsible. Let's go get some candy.
Context
This line was spoken by Abbi Abrams (played by Abbi Jacobson) in an episode of Broad City, written by Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer (2014- ).
After blowing all their money trying to get Lil Wayne tickets, Abbi and Ilana decide to be more responsible adults in the second episode of Broad City. They are trying to do their own taxes and find their own source of recreational drugs instead of mooching off their parents or other random folks. Of course, everything goes horribly wrong.
Enter candy, their sole source of relief in a world where it is impossible to do taxes without dropping serious dough on one of those not-so-mild mannered tax accountants. Abbi and Ilana, who are under the influence of marijuana, go hog wild at their local candy shop, which leads to Ilana chipping her veneer on a jawbreaker. Next time, she should stick to Sour Patch Kids and Swedish Fish.
