- Doug Wilson: [Talking with Andy about María, who he reported to Immigration] She wouldn't fuck me, but she fucked you, hmm.
- Doug Wilson: [Looks at Andy] So fuck her, and fuck you!
- Terrifically Carol: [Nancy is ordering a gift basket by phone to be delivered that night, because it's Silas' birthday. She's talking to the operator] Now, what would you like the card to say?
- Nancy Botwin: [Nancy doubts for a while] Mmmm, Dear Silas: Happy Birthday. Happy 18th Birthday... Um... Don't write "um"... I think you're an amazing son. I'm so proud to be your mom... "Be your mom". Jesus, that sounds like bullshit, doesn't it?
- [She laughs]
- Nancy Botwin: Um...
- [Ironic]
- Nancy Botwin: Dear Silas: If you never see me again, I've probably been murdered. Enjoy the dried apricots and butter cookies.
- Terrifically Carol: [Interrupts Nancy] The Sterling Celebration doesn't come with butter cookies, but if you like to add them, I certainly can do that.
- Nancy Botwin: [Anoyed while Carol is still talking] Yeah... can you stop talking for a second? Could yoy please be quiet and listen? Just listen.
- Terrifically Carol: [after an awkward silence] I'm listening.
- Nancy Botwin: Starting over. Dear Silas... umm... thank for raising yourself these past 18 years. You... you've done a great job.
- Terrifically Carol: [Silence. Nancy looks really sad, thinking about where she's going and the choice she've made] Ms. Botwin? Are you okay, Ms. Botwin?
- Nancy Botwin: [Nancy cannot speak. She tries to a few times, but can't. Says no with her head] Silas... you are loved. Me. Signed it "me".
- Terrifically Carol: Just "me"?
- Nancy Botwin: Yeah, "me". No, "mom". "Me, mom". Please get that for him tonight. Thanks, Carol.
- Terrifically Carol: You take care, Ms. Bowtin.
