Joel: Thanks buddy. Thank you. Thank you. I completely get it. You know, I don't... I don't need to be the godfather.

Joel: And no I'm not willing to stop fighting for our children and for our marriage, but this, this wasn't my call. This wasn't my fight, so please don't dig in on this. Please. It's over now.
Julia: Well, whenever you're ready to fight for us, I'm here.

Zeek: Well, let me ask you something. What the hell are you doing?
Joel: What the hell am I doing? Well, I'm trying to figure things out, you know? Figuring things out.

Julia: Because you moved out.

Julia: Joel, it's just too hard.
Joel: What?
Julia: You. Asking how I am and wanting to be there for me and it's confusing.
Joel: Well, I care about you and I care about the family and you know, I just want to make sure that...

Joel: Ahh. Ah. Yeah. I was just calling to see if Zeek was OK. So, we'll talk later. Bye.

It's not an asset, it's a home. And it kills me to work away from it, but I hurt you and I own that. I get that. So I don't want the house. If I can't have you in it, I don't want it.

Joel: When have you not thought clearly?
Julia: Two years ago. I was not thinking clearly. I was pretty much unraveling. You left.
Joel: K. That's not going to happen again.
Julia: Good. But... I can't tell you that it won't happen again, that I'll be... I don't know, I know that I was hard to live with. I realize that it was rough.
Joel: Honey, I'll tell you this as many times as you need me to. I will never leave you again. I will never leave you.

Zeek: A little spirit. I like that. I don't think I've ever heard you say more than five words since I knew you.
Joel: Well...
Zeek: No really, I hear you and I see you.
