Quotes
-
Nicole Mossbacher : When you're young, sex is powerful and intoxicating. And as we mature, it gets demystified. You realize there are more important things to focus on.
Olivia Mossbacher : Like what? Zooming with China?
Nicole Mossbacher : Like holding onto whatever shreds of dignity you still have.
Olivia Mossbacher : That's so perverted.
-
Olivia Mossbacher : Dad, you don't wanna say that.
Nicole Mossbacher : Well, he can say whatever he wants. You know, if he's having a negative visceral reaction to his father having gay sex, it's valid. It's fine.
Olivia Mossbacher : Well, it comes off as homophobic.
Nicole Mossbacher : Well, it's not.
Olivia Mossbacher : Well, that's how it comes across.
Nicole Mossbacher : Well, luckily, he's in a safe space and he's here with our family so he can come off however he wants.
Olivia Mossbacher : Up to a point.
Nicole Mossbacher : Or what? You'll cancel him? Dox him? Sic the K-Pop fans on him?
-
Nicole Mossbacher : This lighting makes me look freakish.
Olivia Mossbacher : You sure it's the lighting?
-
Olivia Mossbacher : Mom, you look deranged.
Nicole Mossbacher : It's all right. I have a filter for that.
-
Olivia Mossbacher : Dad, what's wrong with you?
Nicole Mossbacher : Your father got some very upsetting news last night.
Olivia Mossbacher : He does have cancer?
Nicole Mossbacher : No. He doesn't have cancer. He found out something about his father that he never knew before.
Olivia Mossbacher : I'm listening.
Nicole Mossbacher : Your grandfather died of AIDS.
Paula : How did he get AIDS?
Nicole Mossbacher : Apparently, Paula, he was having sex with other men.
Quinn Mossbacher : Who was?
Nicole Mossbacher : Your dad's dad.
Quinn Mossbacher : Why?
Olivia Mossbacher : Because he liked it. Why else? He was probably closeted.
Paula : Or bisexual.
Olivia Mossbacher : Dad, why are you so upset, though? You're like catatonic.
Nicole Mossbacher : Well, it was a secret that was kept from him his entire life, Liv. So now, whatever image he had of his father, of his childhood, has been pulverized.
Olivia Mossbacher : You know, he was probably a bottom. That's how you mostly get it. Receiving. Dad, do you feel like your father was less of a man or something?
Paula : He might have not been gay. A lot of straight guys like ass-play.
Olivia Mossbacher : Yeah! Maybe he was just too embarrassed to ask Grandma to use a dildo on him.
Quinn Mossbacher : Oh, Jesus!
Mark Mossbacher : Can we not, please? Uh...
Olivia Mossbacher : Even if he wasn't a top, it doesn't mean he was femme. He could've still been butch, Dad.
Paula : Maybe he was a bossy bottom.
Olivia Mossbacher : Yeah, maybe Grandpa was a power bottom.
[to her dad]
Olivia Mossbacher : Does that make you feel better?
Mark Mossbacher : No. That makes me wanna throw up.
-
Nicole Mossbacher : It's funny how you're able to have so much compassion for all these groups of oppressed peoples you don't even know, and yet not for your family.
Olivia Mossbacher : Yep, okay.
Nicole Mossbacher : Who actually know you and love you. Your generation's only sacred value. Biting the hand that feeds you.
Olivia Mossbacher : Whatever.
-
Nicole Mossbacher : I don't understand what happened to your father. I mean, I've been texting him all day.
Quinn Mossbacher : [engrossed in his device] I have his phone.
Nicole Mossbacher : Well, you could've told me that earlier, Quinn.
[to Olivia]
Nicole Mossbacher : You know, this is all because of you, because you won't share a giant room with your brother.
Olivia Mossbacher : Mom, it works out perfect. He can have the entire beach to himself to jerk off.
