Phoebe: God doesn't mind if you're sick.
Ambrose: So you believed what your mother told you, that you sold yourself for drugs, you had the scars, you went through something terrible and then you blamed yourself.

Cora: Then what happened to me?
Margaret: It was easier when she lived with me.
Ambrose: When was that?
Margaret: When she came back.
Ambrose: From?

Cora: Yes.
Mother: It's the only way she'll live.
