DaphneYou are not my mother. You have never been my mother.
Regina (to Daphne): The whole perfect Kennish Christmas thing makes me feel like you were cheated out of this storybook life; like you somehow drew the short straw because you got stuck with the single mom.
DaphneMom! I love our Christmases.
Toby (to Daphne): I was way to hard on you at the orientation.

Daphne(to Regina, who begins packing their stuff after having an argument with the Kennishes) You're ruining everything!
Me?
DaphneThis is hard for everyone. Why can't you just make the best of it?
Those people are not who you think they are.
DaphneWhat does that mean?
You want to know what they said to me? They don't think deaf people should be able to drive.
DaphneI don't believe you.
Go ask them. Go!
DaphneWhy do you hate them so much?! Is it because they have more money?! Is it because she's (Kathyrn) always so chipper?! What's so terrible about them?!
They're arrogant and entitled! (continues to pack)
DaphneWe're leaving? That's it? I have no say in this?
Are you gonna stand there and tell me that you think that this is working?
Daphne(pauses) I'm going out. Don't wait up.
