- Alvin: [explaining how he abandoned Bonnie when Christy was born] Back then I was a very stupid, very selfish, and very cowardly person. I'm sorry.
- Christy: Did you ever think about me?
- Alvin: Every day. After a few years I had to stop, remembering was just too painful... and by painful, I mean shameful.
- Alvin: [Knocks on door. Violet answers] Hi. Is Christy Plunkett here?
- Violet: You a bill collector?
- Alvin: No.
- Violet: Subpoena?
- Alvin: No.
- Violet: Are we being evicted again?
- Alvin: No. What do you mean "again"?
- Violet: Never mind. She's not here.
- Alvin: Oh, okay. You, uh... you must be her daughter.
- Violet: Listen pal, we're not joining your church.
- Alvin: I'm not... Forget it. I'll come back another time.
- Violet: Whatever.
- [Slams door]
- Alvin: Wow. My granddaughter's a joy.
