- Volunteer Janet: I know Billy's here, whenever I think of him. Don't you feel that about Isabel?
- Emilia: She's gone. I know the difference between here and gone.
- Emilia: I don't belong with you, guys. It's like Lyle, the crocodile. Lyle doesn't belong in an apartment, he belongs with all the other crocodiles at the central park zoo.
- William: There are no crocodiles there, only caimans.
- Emilia: It's a metaphor, William. You know metaphors. I'm trynna say is, I'm sort of way like Lyle you know, I don't belong with you and your dad. 'Coz, you know, my teeth are too sharp, and my tail is too long.
- William: But, Lyle does so belong with his family. They love him, even though he's a crocodile, and he's not always the nicest... or not so good with children.
- Emilia: yle was always nice to children.
- William: It's a metaphor, Amilia.
- Emilia: Thanks, Will.
