Darby: Why didn’t you tell this guy to take a hike? You were happy to tell the millennials to get lost.
Victoria: Because I’m stuck. My last two books were flops, and I’m afraid the ride is over. I’m not relevant anymore.

Darby: Who else would have done this? Do you have a rival or a jealous ex? Did you have a major falling out with someone that I don’t know about for some weird reason?
Antonio: Wait. I know someone who might hate me enough to do this.

Victoria: Don’t worry. I’ve got your back. I’ll help you figure this out.
Darby: Absolutely. We will help you figure this out.
Antonio: Thank you both. I didn’t know who else to turn to.

Zane: I didn’t know you didn’t know.
Darby: So you’re pals with my mom now?

Darby: Wait a minute. You’re going to change my bedroom into an office.
Victoria: It’s an ideal space.
Darby: For me to sleep in.
Victoria: There are plenty of other rooms in the house, honey.

Darby: I’m not just your kid moving back into the house. I’m a grown woman with my own life. It’s about you not respecting my boundaries.
Victoria: If we’re talking about boundaries, I need you to respect my writing time. I need peace and quiet to concentrate. After all, Bryn Martel still pays the bills around here.

Victoria: You know, I’ve always been interested in virtual reality.
Darby: Your whole life is a viral reality.

Victoria: This is my writing room. I need to write.
Darby: There are plenty of other rooms in the house, honey.
Victoria: Not going to happen.

Victoria: We’re going to a morgue. No one wants to be there. You’re so uptight. That’s what living in the city does to a person. You have to take your cop cap off and start thinking like a PI.
Daby: Fine. But if we get arrested, you’re covering bail.

Darby: Sounds like we should start with them.
Victoria: Let’s start with Noelle. She’s the eldest and the most difficult. You two should get along swimmingly.

Victoria: What are you trying to say?
Darby: Nothing. It’s just no wonder he’s made some questionable life choices. People do crazy things to be seen and loved.

I don’t know why I feel guilty. So, she has to eat dinner alone. Do you know how many dinners I had to eat alone as a kid when she was promoting a book?

The Spencer Sisters Quotes

Victoria: The prodigal daughter returns. But why do you look like a long-haul trucker?
Darby (to herself): Brand new record.

You couldn’t solve a crime if you committed it yourself, and if you stopped taking leadership packs from the Don Draper School of Management, you would recognize that I’m a better detective than he’ll ever be! I quit!
