They wanted me to get married. I tried. We were fighting. I was... I wish I could have been with her all these years. Like them. Couple kids. American dream. Never suspect them. She's pretty. He's lucky.
William
Gabriel: I think you two and your children should return home.
Elizabeth: What?
Cops: Put your hands in the air! DON'T MOVE!

You choose a job before you really know if you'll like it right. When you're young, you don't really know who you are, what you wanna do, be. You pick something because it fits who you are or what you need. But life changes things, you change, or something. And then one day, you wake up and you don't want to go into the office, you don't want to make arrangements for people you don't know, you don't give a shit about. You don't want to do it. You just don't. Every morning, I wake up with this sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.
Philip
William: The absence of closeness makes you dry inside.
Stan: But still committed.
William: It was the only thing that we had left.

William
Paige: How did you know how to do that?
Elizabeth: I was trained to defend myself.
Paige: Dad, too? It was just so fast and I didn't even know what was happening and he was just...I was so scared. And you didn't even seem upset after. You were calm. How could you be calm? You killed him, Mom.
Philip: You want to be Matthew's friend, be Matthew's friend. But don't do anything because of us. You don't have to worry about that.
Paige: You wanted me to worry about Pastor Tim and Alice.
Elizabeth: That is very different.
Paige: When I wanted nothing to do with them, you told me I had to stay close with them, no matter how shitty I felt about it!
Henry: Stan's an FBI agent.
Pastor Tim: Oh really? Huh.
Oh, I see Elizabeth's not the only one with a roast in the oven.
Stan
Paige: What about the tape?
Elizabeth: I don't know. But if it makes them feel better sitting in a safe somewhere, maybe it's a good thing.
