Karla Souza: Marina

Quotes 

• Tom : This year is gonna be different. We're in a groove now. We don't argue like we used to.

  Sarah : [from the other end of the house]  What? Connor!

  Tom : [dejectedly]  Wow, I really set myself up there, huh?

  Sarah : What is "Alicia Silverstick" doing in your closet?

  Connor : [Connor snatches the stick from Sarah's hand]  First of all, his name is "Stickolas Cage."

  Marina : Okay, I'm guessing there's a backstory that we're gonna have to hear about?

  Tom : 1995, family trip to Yosemite, these two find a stick and start arguing over it. That's it, that's the end of the backstory.

  Denise : So to be clear, it's just a stick?

  Sarah : No, it's a lucky stick.

  Connor : Yeah. We got locked in the cabin and used this stick to break a window.

  Sarah : And you said it got lost.

  Connor : It did, and then I found it.

  Sarah : My... that's my stick! Stop it! You know it!

  Tom : Hey, guys? Guys, guys, guys, guys, guys!

  [Connor and Sarah grunting on the floor fighting over the stick] 

  Muriel : [Marshall and Muriel walk in through the front door]  Every single year.

• Muriel : [calls out]  Thomas Chandler Hayworth.

  Tom : [anxiously]  Here we go.

  Marina : Don't worry. If it gets ugly, we just get in the car and start driving.

  Tom : You really think it's gonna be that bad?

  Marina : I've had a bag packed ever since you started writing the book.

• Marina : Oh, my God. He put that in there?

  Denise : You didn't read it?

  Marina : No. I stopped reading Tom's work when I realized he just wants to hear, "It's great, keep going!" So I just say that.

  Denise : Marina, you told Tom about our secret club, which is supposed to be secret.

  Marina : I'm sorry. I think I was in the tub with a glass of wine, and Tom came in, and he started talking about his family, and it just slipped out. You know how tub wine is.

  Denise : I told you things I would never want Sarah to know. Like, "Denise dreaded summer because it meant more exposure to Sarah's Eleanor Roosevelt tattoo."
