• Pete : I just won the lottery. Not everything's about you.

  Pete : I'll figure something out, don't you worry.

  Leslie : I just wanna make sure you don't waste it like you wasted your whole goddamn life.

  Pete : Oh you got jokes, huh? You blew a hundred and seventy-eight thousand, ya dumb bitch.

  Leslie : A hundred and ninety. It ain't that much. And what about you, Pete? When I first met you, you were eighteen, ready to see the world. Look at you now. You could have done anything, Pete. But you fucking did this. So don't give me your shit.

• Nancy : You know she left her kid? You know she drank all that money away? Had every chance and pissed it down the gutter! And her son? Left him. That boy was thirteen. Ain't got food, and he's scared all alone without his mama. Just so you could go out drinking thinking you're hot shit!

  Leslie : That ain't fucking true.

  Leslie : [screams]  And what did you do to fucking stop me?

• Leslie : I wanna be a good mama.
