Speaker: Hannah Horvath

"I don't even want a boyfriend."

I don't even want a boyfriend. I just want someone who wants to hang out all the time and thinks I'm the best person in the world.

Context

This line is spoken by Hannah Horvath (played by Lena Dunham) in the fourth episode of the first season of the TV show Girls (2012-).

Before he was throwing hissyfits and swinging triple-bladed lightsabers as Kylo Ren in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Adam Driver played the sometimes mean, sometimes sweet, and definitely artsy boyfriend of Hannah Horvath in Girls.

This line comes directly after Hannah has been dealing with sexual harassment with a manager at her new job and got a picture of a questionable quality from Adam. She goes over to his apartment where he's shirtless and swear-y and gives him a blueprint for what she wants in a relationship all while sporting Frida Kahlo-esque eyebrows, that might slightly undercut the seriousness of the conversation.
