Source: Girls
Speaker: Hannah Horvath
You are from New York; therefore, you are just naturally interesting.
Context
This line is spoken by Hannah Horvath, played by Lena Dunham, in the TV show Girls (2012- ).
The main character of Girls is Hannah, that major narcissist we all know and love. This quote comes from an episode called "The Return," when she visits her hometown in Minnesota and is giving herself a pep talk in the mirror before a date with the cute local pharmacist.
Maybe we should try this line before our next date.
Where you've heard it
You might've seen it on the show, or maybe you saw it on this show about the show. (Whoa, looks like the narcissism doesn't stop with Hannah.)
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.
If you say this seriously to a room of non-New Yorkers, then watch out. Say it sarcastically anywhere, and you're cool.
