Maxine and Amy in “Unfinished Business”

Maxine

You know what I read the other day? That Denver, Colorado is moving closer to San Francisco, California by an inch every ten years.

Amy

Is this relevant?

Maxine

An inch every ten years. That's the way the Rocky Mountains were formed, and that's the way the world changes. Not by stamping your foot to get your way. Not even by the bang of a gavel. It's by the choices that we make, you know, all the time. You do what you think is right, every time. Slowly, the world starts to change. That's how we leave our imprint on life -- an inch every ten years.

Amy

Where do you come up with this stuff?

Maxine

I don't know; just pops into my head. It's a curse, really.
