Mary
- [Mary reads to Dr. Mierzwiak out of "Bartlett's Familiar Quotations"; the lines are from Alexander Pope's poem "Eloisa to Abelard"]
- Mary: How happy is the blameless vestal's lot! / The world forgetting, by the world forgot / Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! / Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd.
- Mary: I wanted to understand as much as I could about the procedure as possible... I think it's important for my job to understand the inner workings of the work that we do, well not that I do, but the work that is done by people where I also work, the work of my colleagues.
- [Mary is stoned, and Joel has just gone off the map]
- Mary: He could wake up all half-baked and, gooey and, and half-baked... mmm, that sounds sooo good. I'm hungry.
- Stan: That's what they called themselves. Like, "The Clash". The only band that mattered. They called themselves that for a reason.
- Mary: It's amazing, isn't it?
- Stan: Like social justice. Yeah, it's totally incredible.
- Mary: What Howard gives to the world.
- Stan: Yeeeeah...
- Mary: To let people begin again. It's beautiful. You look at a baby, and it's so pure and so free and so clean. And adults are, like, this mess of sadness and phobias. And Howard just makes it all go away.
