Emily in Paris, Darren Star’s new Netflix series, may be fluffy, escapist fun, but the show has some meaningful quotes about love, work and city life.

Netflix’s Emily in Paris introduces viewers to a lively bunch of fun (and complicated) characters. After Emily Cooper gets promoted, she makes the move abroad from Chicago to Pairs. But after breaking up with her American boyfriend, Emily begins to truly connect and explore Paris the way it should be.

Along the way, viewers meet Emily’s co-workers, new friends, and handsome love interests. Each character brings something new to the table that keeps Emily on her toes and viewers in stitches. Some quotes are about love, others about work, and those that truly give words to the effervescent spirit of Paris.

Updated on Nov 4th, 2021 by Rose Graceling-Moore: The second season of Emily In Paris is set to release Dec 22nd, with more bingeworthy sweetness from the titular Emily – and her various love interests! Despite the release date, though, this will not be a winter-wonderland season, as instead, Emily and her friends are heading to San Tropez for a holiday – at least, this is the focus of the trailer. While the new season is sure to bring with it lots of new favorite quotes, these are the best from season one.

15 “You Live To Work. We Work To Live.”

After a hard first couple of days at her new job in a new country, Emily was feeling lonely. More than that, she was feeling alienated from her co-workers. They go out on lunches without her and called her a hick in French. It’s not until Luc sees Emily sitting by herself that he confronts her about the office being scared of her. Her opinions and marketing ideas are new for the company and can be intimidating at first. Emily tells him that she loves to work and adores what she does but Luc thinks Americans have it backwards. Emily should work to live, not live to work.

14 “We’re on the precipice of the rest of our lives.”

Brooklyn may not be the best character in Emily in Paris – she’s self-centered and difficult, for most of her small arc! However, she also has some great lines, like this one. She may choose to make some less-than-considerate decisions as a result of feeling on ‘the precipice of the rest of her life’, but it’s also a line that suits the characters, and the fans who are in their 20s and feeling like there are some big changes coming.

Of course, it also works well as a line that shows how seemingly deep and meaningful moments can come from people who might be the last ones anyone would expect to be wise.

13 “Paris Seems Like A Big City, But It’s Really Just A Small Town.”

In the fourth episode, Emily is saved by a new face when she has trouble buying a bouquet of pink roses. The woman’s name is Camille and the two hit it off without much effort.

Emily vents about being confused by Paris and the transportation not making sense, but Camille assures her that Paris seems like a big city, but it’s actually a small town. Camille proves herself right because Emily constantly bumps into people she knows.

12 “A little ‘bonjour’ goes a long way.”

One of the things that surprised viewers about Emily in Paris, and led to some criticism, was that Emily seemed to know absolutely zero French – and expected that this would be absolutely fine! This is particularly unrealistic, but at least Emily starts to make up for it with this quote, as she learns that just trying goes a long way.

This might seem obvious, of course – that making an attempt in a foreign language would go over well with the locals, more than assuming they will speak English. However, it adds to Emily’s naivete. Only someone like Emily would actually have to learn this as a lesson, and do so with such cheerfulness!

11 “Without Basic B***hes Like Me, You Wouldn’t Be Fashionable.”

It’s every fashion lover’s dream to meet a big-name designer and be able to wear or afford their clothes. Emily had a chance of a lifetime to meet and possibly work with Pierre Cadault. Sadly for her, after Pierre takes one look at her keychain on her black handbag, he called her a “basic b**ch.”

It was comical to see someone so upset by a keychain, but it was even funnier that he called Emily basic for doing it. Emily confronted him in a very Julia Roberts-confronts-the-store-clerk-in-Pretty Woman kind of way while seeing Swan Lake and told him his line wouldn’t be where it is without “basic b**ches” like her.

10 “The French are romantics, but they’re also realists.”

Emily in Paris spends quite a lot of the show making sweeping statements about the French and life in Paris (which was one of the reasons that the show was heavily criticized), but this is one that does work. French people have a reputation for romance, and Paris is (of course) known as the most romantic city in the world! However, this line is all about balance.

Yes, there is romance, but romance and practicality don’t have to be mutually exclusive! Of course, the irony of this line is that the show itself is deeply impractical in almost every way, and focused on the romance of living in this fictionalized version of Paris!

9 “It’s Paris. Everyone’s Serious About Dinner.”

Mindy has a ton of witty one-liners throughout Emily In Paris. She’s more than a side character or a quiet buddy in the background; she’s her own woman who’s doing Paris her way.

It was lucky that she met Emily in the park and that they had so much in common. After they left each other, Emily texts Mindy and asks her if she’s serious about grabbing dinner one night and Mindy’s reply is just perfect.

8 “You’re In Paris Now. I’m Sure We Can Find You Something Better Than Peanut Butter.”

Trader Joes officials can attest to the perfection that is Trader Joe’s Unsalted Peanut Butter. Now that Emily is in France without her favorite snack, she has to order a couple of jars from Chicago to Paris. Unfortunately, in a very Sex and the City moment, when Emily opens her box, the peanut butter exploded everywhere. She’s broken up over it but Gabriel assures her that there is better food to eat in Paris than her packaged peanut butter.

7 “Like wearing poetry.”

Darren Star’s series are known for their incredible fashion – from Sex and the City to Younger to Emily in Paris, every character is always dressed to the nines! It may be another aspect of the series that is unrealistic, but of course, that is part of the charm. Fashion also takes center stage in this series with Emily and Cadault, so it’s no surprise that the characters talk about it.

This, though, is a beautiful line – and one that shows how Emily does have a way with words (even if only in one language). It perfectly describes the kind of aspirational feeling that Star is clearly going for, and the romantic whimsy of the character at the same time.

6 “Desire Does Not Mean Lack Of Respect. In Fact, Quite The Opposite. It Is A Sign Of Respect.”

Antoine is the owner of a perfume brand that Emily markets for. He’s very suave and handsome and knows how to get what he wants. After Emily made a good impression on Antoine, she is quickly told by Julien and Luc to back off.

Emily, of course, has no intention of stepping on anyone’s toes but it turns out that Sylvie is Antoine’s mistress. With Emily catching Antoine’s eye, she could be a threat to Sylvie in the workplace. Nevertheless, Antoine says some very bold quotes on desire and power that leaves Emily intrigued.

5 “I Like Paris, But I’m Not Really Sure Paris Likes Me.”

Emily has said throughout the show that she’s a people-pleaser. She’s always done what she’s asked and she constantly tries to get people to like her. It’s obvious that her efforts exhaust her but it’s what makes her who she is. She adored the idea of living in Paris, but throughout 10 episodes Emily has found herself in quite a bit of trouble. Learning the language from movies and friends would make Emily’s time far more comfortable. Perhaps Paris wasn’t ready for a woman like Emily.

4 “The Irony Of Menopause. Just When You Have The Time To Really Explore Your Mature, Adventurous, Sensual Self, The Vagina Goes On Strike.”

It’s obvious from the start that Sylvie isn’t a fan of Emily. She hates that she’s ignorant of the French language, she despises that she’s an overachiever, and she detests her marketing approaches. But what bothers Sylvie the most is that despite all this, Emily is a success.

In an attempt to put Emily on the spot and see if she had what it took, Sylvie puts her in charge of a marketing campaign for a brand that assists with menopause. (This moment was similar to when Miranda asks Andy to find her the new Harry Potter books in The Devil Wears Prada.) Emily’s spin on female reproductive habits was genius and influential.

3 “Yeah, happy endings are very American.”

This quote may seem sad, but it references the ‘French ending’, and a cultural preference for more bittersweet or tragic ends to stories, rather than the ‘Hollywood ending’ where everyone gets a happily ever after. It is said in the series in reference to Brooklyn and her rom-com blockbusters, but it carries weight for other reasons.

For one, it is used to show just how much Emily’s attitude is out of place here, but it also may be some foreshadowing. Emily is, of course, deeply American – so does this mean that she is heading to a happy ending? Or could it be paving the way for her own ‘French ending’, and a tragic goodbye whenever the series comes to a close?

2 “Beyoncé Is Worth Far More Than The Mona Lisa.”

She’s not wrong. Once again, Mindy adds a pop of color to the show and proves herself as Emily’s new best friend. In fact, these two may be Netflix’s newest BFF duo.

If there’s a second season, it will be fun to see how Emily and Mindy grow as friends now that they’re roommates. Emily could use someone like Mindy in her life, especially when it comes to the Gabriel and Camille situation.

1 “We Never Really Had A Chance But At Least Now, We Have This One Perfect Thing.”

As perfect as Emily and Gabriel are together, they never have a fighting chance. It would be one thing if Emily never befriended Camille. But after becoming so close to Camille, going on double dates with her and Gabriel, and even meeting Camille’s family — Emily has gotten herself into a tricky situation. That is until Gabriel and Camille break up…

Emily sleeps with Gabriel because she thinks he’s single and that she would never see him again. They lay in bed at night and talk about the relationship that never was. It’s a romantic and honest moment — which is exactly what Emily is looking for.
