Morena Baccarin: Jessica Brody

Quotes 

• Grandma : If you ask me, you're the one who's making too much of this whole thing.

  Jessica Brody : Too much? Of my daughter's suicide?

  Grandma : She didn't commit suicide.

  Jessica Brody : She tried to. Very hard. Even the doctor said so.

  Grandma : Well, of course he did. He's the doctor. He's worried about being sued. I know about teenage girls. I raised one. My god, Jessie, you talked about killing yourself once a week.

  Jessica Brody : I talked about it, but I never tried it.

  Grandma : And I'm saying she didn't really mean to, either. It was a... a cry for attention. If she really meant to kill herself, she'd be dead.

• Jessica Brody : What can I expect? Um... how closely do I have to watch her?

  Dr. Troy Richardson : This isn't just a Dana problem. I recommend regular counseling for the whole family, in addition to her follow-up treatment here.

  Jessica Brody : Well, we don't have any insurance, or any source of income. My mother had to reverse mortgage her house just to pay for this.

  Dr. Troy Richardson : There are county programs. I can give you a name at the Department of Children and Families.

  Jessica Brody : What is that, a grad student? A volunteer?

  Dr. Troy Richardson : Mrs. Brody, I'm worried that you're losing focus of the real issue.

  Jessica Brody : There's a real issue other than my daughter tried to kill herself?

  Dr. Troy Richardson : Yes. That you missed it. Dana's gesture is the kind that we don't often see - clear-eyed, determined, no substances distorting her judgment. She meant business.
