Amy (to Maxine about the Wise Women Walkers): Just try it!
I'd rather snort prune juice up my nose.
Well, you can do both.
Are you and Grandma fighting?
No.
Yes!
She didn't like The Wise Women Walkers, did she?

Kyle (after a girl collapses): She's burning up! Call 911!
GGiselle
Are you officially giving me permission to use the phone?
Call 911 NOW!
Maxine (to Kyle): Are you aware that your library book is 4 months overdue?
That girl stole it. The one who died.
I am sorry.
How do you do it? How do you keep banging your head against the wall every single day without your skull caving in?
Well I certainly have my share of headaches, but the wall has a few lumps as well.
I work my ass off to get to these kids, to bring them in, let them know that it's going to be ok and then they're gone. They run away or they're dead. Well guess what? I'm done. I wil work at Teen Harbor but I am through with the chasing. If they want help they will come in, fill out the forms and they will ask. I'm through going after them, it's not worth it. No wonder I'm smoking so much.
Well, I'm sure you know best. However at this moment you do not know best because if you did, you would shut up! And you would quit using feeling sorry for yourself as an excuse to smoke, and you would know that if you want absolute victories, then you should go back into medicine. We do what we can. We patch them up, send them out there and hope for the best. And we very seldom get it, but we keep going because what the hell else are we going to do?!?
Maxine (to Sean): When my daughter called you, did you tell her that nobody likes a snitch?
Look, I've never pulled rank on you. Mostly because you'd ignore me and I'd back down, but that's just what I'm doing: pulling rank and not backing down. Either you go home right now, or I will fire you. (Maxine laughs) I will.

Why are you cutting so many tethers in your life?
Because I feel tethered.
Evidently melodrama has not skipped a generation as I had hoped.
You were taking apart her room? Couldn't you have waited until the corpse had cooled?
See? Genetic melodrama.
I need to move this mattress.
You said it was an emergency!
Okay, I really need to move this mattress?
[trying to get Amy moving to the courtroom] Momentum requires velocity. Basic physics.
If I told you I had two tickets to Spain, what would you say?
When do we leave?
I swear to God, if you do this to yourself, I'll have you committed.
They don't do that anymore.
Mother, I'm in insurance. I have powers you can't even begin to comprehend. Try me.
It's a little weird. I move away, you just come in and occupy my space?
I know.
A man likes to feel like he's irreplaceable, and bang, he's replaced.
I know.
My old room, my old roommate, my seat at Thursday night dinners. My place in the family.
I know.
You haven't replaced me.
I know!
Is this a bad idea?
Very bad.
Jared (to Maxine): Tell your family I was someone selling vacuum cleaners or God.
Your mom died because bad men stole airplanes and flew them into buildings. It's not your mom's fault, it's not your dad's fault, and it's certainly not your fault. If we blame the wrong people, then we help the bad guys, and they've done enough already.
You're pregnant.
But... but I don't... get pregnant.
Well, apparently, you do.
