Luna: Is this your way of apologizing about Mercer, giving me an impossible task to show that you believe in me?
Joanna: You always come through for me, Luna.
Luna: I'm on it then.
Joanna: Look, I don't have any answers, so I don't know what to let you in on. I am ... I am so confused and I can't even trust myself. I am trying to figure this out. And when I do, I will let you --
Billy: I DON't WANT YOU TO FIGURE IT OUT! I wanna figure it out with you. Joanna, I don't have the answers either but if they exist, at all, then I don't wanna find them without you.

Joanna: We talk every day.
Billy: About the baby.

Billy: If I'm not enough, you need to tell me. If you need more, you need to tell me.

A marriage is one thing, we get out of contracts all the time. But ... a child? You would be stuck here, with me, and I am clearly not capable of living this life. I can't even say "good job" to our employees. What am I supposed to do with a child? And I just can't stand to see the look of disappointment.
Billy: I'm not disappointed.
Joanna: When I can't help but turn our child into me.
Eli: You have no idea what he was like.
Billy: Okay, so help us understand.
Eli: He would like ... like, get into our heads. Twisted us. He had this way of making us need to make him proud. I don't know how to explain it. I don't ... I ... I don't know, it's just, we just suddenly didn't see our parents anymore. He was all we could see. And, and it seemed right at the time, so we ran away. And we knew, I don't know why, but somehow we just knew, that we could never, ever go back to them.
Harper Bailey: Don't worry. I'm not nearly as fragile as he gives me credit for.

Billy: We never said --
Mr. Bailey: You didn't have to.
Joanna: How could you possibly know which case we were talking about?
Mr. Bailey: My wife only became a lawyer after David ... She only tried one case.
Joanna: The boy who died was your son.

Joanna

Joanna: I don't know. And I hate not knowing.
Billy: Shaky says 'I don't know' is the greatest prayer in the world.
Joanna: Who's Shaky?
Joanna: None of my clients can afford me your honor.
Cleardawn Lawyer: Are you bragging?
Judge: Are you Miss Chang?
Joanna: I am simply stating an indisputable fact. They couldn't afford you either, or you, your honor, back in the day. All of our clients live below the poverty line. They have limited economic means, limited access to justice.
Cleardawn lawyer: These people are poor. That doesn't magically give her case merit, your honor.
Judge: Why don't you let me decide that, Mr. Page.
Cleardawn Lawyer: She's playing on the court's sympathies.
Joanna: I'm not playing at anything. This isn't a game. These are children we're talking about. Being poor in this country means that you're more likely to have your children taken. That's a fact. And it makes it ten times harder for you to get those kids back. Also just a fact.
Cleardawn Lawyer: You honor --
Judge: Let her finish.
Joanna: Being poor is the commonality here. Certification is these parents' only chance at justice. And a class action is their only viable legal recourse. Thank you, your honor
Joanna: We are going to lose. All these people put their faith in me and I'm about to let them down.
Billy: Hey you do not stop fighting until the fight is done. That one's also you. You're very quotable. So wipe the sweat off your face and get back in the ring.
Joanna: If this is what being a mother is like, constantly not being good enough, disappointing people, disappointing yourself, gives me a whole new appreciation for my own.
Billy: Well, you should tell her that. After we win certification.
