Stephanie[edit]
- Five days ago, Emily went missing.
- Every time we do this, I feel so high-tone.
- [as Emily is being arrested and taken away by the police] I'm sorry! I'm not sorry! I'm still working on that!
- Everybody has a dark side. Some of us are better at hiding it than others.
Emily[edit]
- You are so nice. I have no idea how you've survived this long.
- [repeated line] Brotherfucker!
Dialogue[edit]
- Sean: I'm tired of lying, I'm tired of pretending. I want to be this man. The man I am with you.
- Stephanie: I don't do threesomes.
- Margaret: Are you a mother?
- Stephanie: Yes. I love every minute of it.
- Margaret: Aww. Then you must have brain damage.
- Sean: I grieved your death.
- Emily: I understand. You're not alone. They say that 90% of people who lose their spouse end up sleeping with their spouse's best friend after their funeral, actually.
- Sean: Really?
- Emily: No, I just made that up, you fucking dick. That's how you grieve? Balls deep in my best friend?
