God
You should be nicer to your mother.
Joan
She's against me having a life.
God
She's against you getting hurt. She knows something about that.
Joan
Is this about those paintings?
God
Where do you think that kind of thing comes from in a person?
Joan
A mood?
God
You have a mood, you eat french fries. But when you have pain, it takes a little more work to deal with it.
Joan
She had to have done this before she had Kevin...
God
Before your father, even.
Joan
What happened to her?
[God doesn't answer]
Joan
Is that why she's so weird about me dating?
[God doesn't answer]
Joan
How bad was it?
God
It was evil, and I don't throw that word around.
