Joanie: Where is mommy?
Cole: I don't know, sweetheart.
Cole: You never reached out to her, even once, until you needed her organ.
Father: I'm not sure what you want me to say.
Cole: What the fuck are we listening to?
Anton: Metallica.
[Cole raises his eyebrows]
Anton: What? College white boys can lose their mind over hip-hop; I can't listen to metal?
Helen: Do you think I'm too young to be in menopause?
Vik: Don't you think I'm too young to die?
Noah: You should have told me.
Helen: Why would I have told you?
Noah: Because we're friends?
Helen: No, we're not.
Noah: Your kid came to my house looking for help. I figured we could all just talk about it.
Anton's Dad: Why you all up in my family? Don't you have your own?

Alison: He said I almost drowned. Did he save my life?
Athena: Stop talking. You don't know what you're talking about.
Alison: Helen, can I ask you something? And will you be honest with me?
Helen: I'll try.
Alison: Why do men look at me and see someone they can fuck with? Nobody thinks that about you. Like, what is it about me? It's like they can smell something on me.
If you want me to have your baby, at least try to be here with my when I do it.
Helen
I come with the room.
