Stan: I'm leaving my wife. For good. I don't want to pretend anymore. I want us to get a house. Out on the island or Westchester. I can take the train in and out of the city for work. Remember that night, the first night in the hotel room. That night we met and you told me you just wanted a home and someone to take care of, and to be treated like a real woman. Let me give you all that.
Angel: What about your kids?
Stan: We'll figure it out. They can come stay with us on weekends. You like kids, right?
Angel: Not really, Stan.
Stan: It was real. This whole thing, it was always real.
Angel: You remember what else I said back in that hotel room? It was your first time but it wasn't mine? You're not my first Prince Charming. You're not real. We're just good ideas in each other's minds. And they turn into bad ones once they get into the regular world, right?
Stan: I'm asking you, I'm beggin' you to just try. Try.
Angel: You're not listening to me. What I want has changed.

Pray: I have to tell you somethin'.
Keenan: Seein' someone else.
Pray: Please, I wish it was that simple. I have HIV. I recently lost a lover and being here with you it's like the first time I was with -- First time I was with him. I told Blanca I wasn't ready, but she told me I couldn't sit around the house feeling sorry for myself. Now that you know my truth you probably want to leave, and I wouldn't blame you. So why don't you just go and I'll pick up the check. We can pretend like this never happened --
Keenan: Hey, hey. I'm sorry that you're going through a rough time. What can I do to help?

Blanca: You wanted to see me which means... one thing. Is Damon screwing up again? Cause I'll bust him upside his head if he's trying you.
Helena: That won't be necessary. You've been a great mother to him. He's really straightened up. And I wanted you to be the first to know as his guardian that his scholarship has been approved for a second year.
Blanca: Oh my god.
Helena: I am so incredibly proud of him, and I'm proud of you, too. Blanca, I've seen parents give their children the best training, the best education money can buy, and yet their dancing careers go nowhere. You, however, have given Damon something that will allow him to soar in this world. Self-worth. As long as he knows his life has value, he will be unstoppable.

Elektra: Trust gives people power over you.
Blanca: Both you and I know sleeping at a fast food booth and working the sex trade, you won't live out the year. You're gonna end up down at the morgue. Okay, you want to be a beautiful corpse. Fine.
Elektra: I don't like being needy. I hate myself for it.
Blanca: You got a lot to hate yourself for, but needing help ain't one of them.
