Kate: Why is it that we want the ones that don't see us, instead of the ones that do?

Bec: The only other person I saw up-close like this was my grammy. Every Thanksgiving my redneck cousins would bet against her lasting until Christmas. And 12 years straight they lost. 'Cause she didn't take shit from anyone.

Kate: [sitting in the park] I've never done this.
Bec: What?
Kate: Nothing.

John: Marilyn called herself the black Lou Gehrig. Most of you know what that means. But some of Marilyn's younger friends might appreciate knowing that LOu Gehrig was a baseball player for the New York Yankees.
