- Julie: I don't think it's too much to ask to know what's going on under my roof.
- Marissa: Oh. You want to know what's going on with me? I am going to tell you the truth. No screaming, no crying, just the truth.
- Julie: You have no idea how happy it makes me to hear that.
- Marissa: Hold that thought. Alex is my girlfriend.
- Julie: I know, and I am so happy that you have made a new friend. Although, I hope you keep seeing Summer...
- Marissa: No, Mom, not my friend who's a girl. My girlfriend.
- [thunder rumbles in the distance as Julie looks shocked]
- Marissa: Yeah.
- Julie: Got a minute?
- Marissa: Not really.
- Julie: Well, I would like to talk to you. About your friend Alex.
- Marissa: I'm sure you would, Mom.
- Julie: Look, Marissa, I experimented too when I was your age. Albeit it involved a little Motley Cru and a lot of jager.
- Marissa: Woah! Way too much information.
- Julie: I'm just saying, that I understand that this is a phase, but, that I won't make a big deal about it if you don't.
- Marissa: Right. This way you avoid any public embarrassment.
- Julie: [notices suitcases] Where are you going?
- Marissa: I'm moving out. You have my cell if Caleb kicks and you need help counting your cash.
- [Julie sees Marissa and Alex walk in]
- Julie Cooper-Nichol: Good morning Mariss... oh, hi. I didn't know you had a friend over last night. Well, I'm Marissa's mother, Julie Cooper-Nichol.
- Alex: Alex.
- Julie Cooper-Nichol: Alex? Oh, yeah. You're the fiesty young lady Caleb mentioned. Well, I was just making bagels. I figured if the Cohens can do it, why can't we?
- Alex: Oh, none for me, thanks. I don't eat breakfast.
- Julie Cooper-Nichol: Oh, that's very punk of you. You know, I used to like the punk in my day.
- Marissa: Mom!
- Julie Cooper-Nichol: You're right, Marissa. It still is my day. I was just being modest.
- Kirsten: My husband is currently transporting a fugitive whom happens to be his ex-girlfriend.
- Julie: Well, I will see your fugitive, former-girlfriend, flame, and raise you a lesbian daughter.
- Kirsten: Marissa?
- [Julie nods]
- Kirsten: Well, I'm sure it's just a phase.
- Julie: It was for me.
- [Kirsten looks a little shocked]
- Julie: And it is for you, too. You guys will work it out. I couldn't handle it if you didn't, you two are like the moral center of the universe. You're Sandy and Kirsten!
