- Laura: You want a date? With me? With this?
- Serg: [whispering] Yes. Yes.
- [pause]
- Serg: I have faith that I haven't seen the best of you.
- Laura: [picking up yet another animal] She belongs to me. They all do. Can't you tell? She knew I would be here. She knew. She knew. They all know. All of them. They all know...
- Jack: Jesus. You're like the Pied Piper of mange.
- Laura: I need to send Henry to a special school.
- Leonard: What's wrong with him?
- Laura: He's gay, or socially awkward, or brilliant. Maybe all three.
- Leonard: You're smarter than you think. You do a lot of smart shit.
- Laura: Like what?
- Leonard: Like divorcing me. That's big.
- Laura: 80% of the time, I feel like total shit.
- Jack: Well, 20% is a pretty good amount of time to feel decent.
- [first lines]
- Laura: I was thinking we might switch back to seeing each other once a month. Yeah, I'm feeling like I'm in a really good place. You know, like, I've done the work. We've done the work. We've done it.
- Therapist: Have you spoken with your father recently?
- Laura: Well, I... He called, but I did not pick up. He knows the conditions.
- Therapist: So you set a boundary?
- Laura: Yeah.
- Therapist: That must have been very difficult for you.
- Laura: Not really. No. I'm feeling really resolute. Like, *very* resolute. So resolute, in fact... I was thinking, is this the best time to set a boundary? You know, stay with me here, because I'm wondering... maybe it would be best if I did pick up. You know?
- Therapist: I don't.
- Laura: Uh, okay, well, it wouldn't be, like, to ask for help or anything like that. Like, I'm not discounting years of disappointment, years...
- Therapist: And abandonment.
- Laura: Well, I was going to say missed opportunities, but, yeah, sure, yeah, let's just say abandonment.
- Laura: How'd you end up being the sane one?
- Jojo: Guess I've just always seen Dad for who he really is.
- Laura: Someone we love?
- Jojo: Yeah, only slightly better than our worst ex-boyfriend.
- Jojo: I always knew he wasn't gonna stay. I just thought I'd get to see you and Henry.
- Laura: This would be so much easier if he was an asshole.
- Jojo: Oh, you know what? He is.
- Laura: Are you okay?
- Henry: I guess I just realized why you love animals so much?
