Tell me. How does a casino equate to a more simple family life?
Oh. What we do for a living has absolutely no bearing on how we parent. And I refute anybody who says Christian values and capitalism can't coexist.

[calling out from the porch] You buckle up! Drive safe.
Things happen. You apologize and you move on.
She blew a man's head off.
For which she is contrite.
Am I supposed to believe that?
The woman brought you fresh honey.
Mm-hmm.

If you was my daughter, I'd tar the living shit outta you.
And if I was your daughter, I'd slit my throat first.
How 'bout if I pop those tits and squeeze out the silicone
There was a French writer, long time ago - I can't remember his name. Well, I can't remember anybody's name. Anyway, he was old, for those days, and very sick, lungs and ticker all going, and he was stuck in bed. Now, this guy's a loner all his life. But he tells the lady taking care of him that he wants to see his friends, say goodbye. So she sends out word, and all his friends come to his little hovel, gather around his deathbed, telling stories. And you know what happens?
What happens?
He doesn't die.
[Wendy chuckles]
And then after a couple days, the friends, well, they leave. They have lives. And then he dies. Sad, but sweet. Because, when you think you're gonna die yesterday, today is sweet. So, hang in, Wendy. Lose your shit tomorrow. Today's no day to fall apart.
[trying to intimidate Ruth] You know, Sinatra used to say, "Live every day like it's your last. And one day, you'll be right."
Ill-humor in the morning brings about a darkened day.
I'd offer you coffee, but I just rinsed the pot.
Well, grow the fuck up, because it's game on. Do you understand?
You know, I used to think that we were, uh, different than them. You know, these people that we work for. And, um...
Hey. We are different from them. You saved my life. Mason would've killed me otherwise. And you are the one who has always said, "People make choices."
Mason's wife didn't have a choice. Our kids, they didn't have a choice.

The funny thing is people are scared of the dead, and they shouldn't be. It's the living who can hurt you.
So, why are we here, Marty?
EMTs found a wire on Rachel. I know she was working with you.
And?
She's worthless to you now.
It's kind of touching, the way you care about her. I mean, she was trying to put you away.
She almost died last night. I'm asking you as a human being to let her go.
You work for one of the most vicious cartels in the world, and you're talking to me about being human?
Rachel isn't a criminal.
Does your wife know about your feelings for Rachel?
Do your superiors know that you were supplying drugs to Rachel?
Just so we're clear, the drugs she OD'd on came from your business partners. But I might be willing to let her off the hook, if...
If?
I want the Snells' operation.
The Snells are our partners in the casino. I'm not aware of an operation.
We think the Snells poisoned the cartel's dope. Maybe this marriage of convenience became inconvenient. But once the cartel figures it out, it doesn't bode well for their partnership. So... if you really care about Rachel, you're gonna have to choose sides, Marty.
It was you, wasn't it? You spiked the product.
[Darlene scoffs]
What if I did?
You know how many people you've hurt?
Ugh! Some junkies who were killing themselves with dope succeeded. So what? This is about respect. The cartel thought they could roll right over us. Well, they don't anymore.
I think you misconstrue the situation.
I told you not to get involved with them.
I don't answer to you, Darlene. I think you misconstrue the situation. They'll come after us. There'll be a war.
We've had to fight before. I am not afraid. Are you?
Yes, I am. I am afraid. Of you...and your implacable rage. Your rashness. You killed Ash...for no reason. For money, for a casino.
I killed him to save you.
I guess we just see things differently.
Where have you been? It's late. We've been worried.
I have something I wanna talk to you about.
What is it?
I wanna get emancipated.
What are you talking about?
What?
Do you remember Jordan Parks from back home? He did it. He had his own apartment when he was a senior.
That kid's parents are drug addicts. There's a difference there.
This is silly. You'd have to pay for rent, food, clothes.
I'll get a job.
Where? McDonald's? You think minimum wage would pay for all that?
Charlotte, I know things have been crazy, but we gotta stay together.
Why?
We're a family.
What does that even mean? I don't wanna hurt you. I love you, but I can't be a part of this anymore. Everyone lies about everything. It's gone too far. You can fight me on this, or you can help me. I've made up my mind. I want out.
What's going on?
Your sister is upset.
Upset?
Okay, more than upset. She doesn't wanna be a member of this family anymore.
What are you talking about?
I'm emancipating.
You are not emancipating.
I don't... I don't understand.
It just means I'll be in charge of my own decisions.
We are so close to working out what I admit is a terrible situation. But right now, you are being really fucking selfish.
That's not helpful.
[scoffs] Well... We're gonna get through this, okay?
Oh, is that a cliché or a platitude?
Mmm. I'm trying to see your side here.
You're scared. You both are. You know I'm right. You're scared, and you should be.
So, you understand how this works, right?
That's what you're saying? That's part of the threat?
So, you're really gonna get a lawyer who's gonna ask questions? Who's gonna file papers in court stating exactly why you wanna be emancipated? So, I'm just wondering... I'm wondering, what are you gonna say that's gonna keep us from all being arrested? Or killed? Jonah, pass the pancakes.
