Noah: Want me to leave you alone?
Helen: Nope. I want you to get the fuck out of my house.

I love her, Max. I wasn't lookin' for this. I tried to get away from it, but I keep comin' back to her. This isn't some midlife crisis.

Noah

Noah: Where did I find you?
Alison: I found you.

Ali! Wait. You were right. About the mortgage, you were right. So I'm ready now, Alison, let's get the fuck out of her. I don't care where we go, wherever you want.

Cole

Cole: Please stay.
Alison: I love you, but I'll die if I stay any longer. I don't want to die.

Alison, I have tried for so long to find love in my heart to forgive you, and you just become more and more hateful.

Cherry

Cherry: I told you to take him to the hospital, 'member? I said he doesn't look right. There's something wrong. But you didn't want to do it because you were a nurse and you knew better.
Alison: What are you doing?
Cherry: And I didn't push 'cause it was your decision. Because you're his mother. I have lived to regret that restraint so deeply.
Alison: Don't.
Cherry: We kept this family together through unspeakable tragedy. I took you in this house, I washed your hair, I spoon fed you, I pulled you back from the brink and this is how you repay me?

Alison: Why don't you just say it? You were never going to leave her. This was never real. It's just been a game to you. Just say it, just tell me the truth.
Noah: You need some fuckin' faith, Alison.

Alison, it's a temporary solution to a really complicated situation.

Noah

At times like these we need to act from our higher selves. I'm gettin' a cup of fuckin' tea.

Athena

Noah: Bruce, that woman, the student in Michigan. Do you ever think about her?
Bruce: Every fuckin' day.

Seems to me this girl might have been your muse and now that she's gone you've forgotten you're afraid of the page. You got to harness that disappointment, son. If you know how to use it you might actually produce something worth reading this time.

Bruce
