• Danielle Chase : [Answers phone]  Hello? Angela! Telephone.

  Angela : Hello?

  Jordan : Hey.

  Angela : Hi!

  [pauses] 

  Angela : Danielle, hang up! Danielle, I know you're listening. I can hear the TV.

  Patty : Danielle, come on. Let's respect Angela's privacy.

  Jordan : So, Rayanne Graff is here.

  Angela : Rayanne is there? Oh. What's she doing there?

  Jordan : I don't know. I was sorta gonna ask you. I mean, no one even invited her. Now she's, like, coming onto my drummer acting like she's high. What does she want?

  Angela : I don't know. I don't have anything to do with it. So how's rehearsal going?

  Jordan : Sucks. Right now everyone's basically just sitting around the loft drinking beer.

  Angela : Danielle, hang up!

  [to Jordan] 

  Angela : Um, so I'm really sorry about Rayanne. I'm glad you called, though. This is the first time you've ever called me on the phone.

  Jordan : I gotta go.

• Angela : [looking at photo album]  Oh my God! Mom, he's cute.

  Patty : I told you so.

  Angela : I can't trust your judgment on cuteness. Mom! You went hitchhiking?

  Patty : That is a totally fake picture! That never happened and it either of you girls ever attempt such a thing...

  Danielle Chase : Mom, you really haven't seen him since high school?

  Patty : Oh, I haven't even thought about him in years.

• Danielle Chase : That kind of thing gives me nightmares.

  Patty : What kind of thing?

  Danielle Chase : That you and daddy could get divorced.

  Angela : Danielle, she's gonna see him for one hour to talk about restaurants.

  Patty : Angela.

  Angela : Well, I mean a person can have feelings for someone even if they're not, like, the person anymore.

  Patty : Sweetie, Tony Poole is someone I knew long, long ago.

  Angela : Long, long ago. Like a fairy tale.

  Patty : Right. But he's not who I chose to make my life with. I chose your dad.

  Angela : But did you, like, love him?

  Patty : I'm not sure. With Tony it was crazy. We really did some pretty crazy and wild things back then. I did! What can I say? But, it's always tempting to lose yourself with someone who's maybe lost themselves. But eventually, you want reality.

  Danielle Chase : That makes sense.
