About This Quote

St. Clair clears his throat. 'My fiancée and I are headed out for a celebratory dessert. I'd ask you all to join us, but I don't want you there.

While this sentence is meant to be offensive, it is something many people have done in their relationship, where one partner will invite their significant other’s friends over to meet them. Yet, the person receiving the invitation doesn’t feel like they should go out with the person inviting them (and they say as much to their own friend). One possible reason why St.

Clair doesn’t want you there is that he wants to be able to talk about how attractive or interesting/funny/clever/whatever his girlfriend is without you listening in to the conversation. Another possibility is that St. Clair doesn’t want to spend time with you because he doesn’t view you as a friend, and instead only sees you as an object of conquest or lust (though he still wants to sleep with you).

If St. Clair really wanted his friends there to meet his girlfriend, he would ask them to come over before the dessert was ready so that they wouldn't have time to decline before then.
