- Christy: [about her gambling] This isn't like when I was drinking. I'm not doing it every day, I'm not letting it ruin my life.
- Bonnie: Let me ask you this. Who is wearing your diamond earrings right now?
- Christy: [having lost them in a poker game] Some busboy's 6 month old daughter. This can't be like my drinking.
- Bonnie: Why not?
- Christy: Because... I can't have another addiction.
- [scared]
- Christy: I can't possibly be this broken.
- Bonnie: [softly] Yes you can.
- Bonnie: [wearing Christy's gown and cap] I never had a graduation, I just wanted to try it on and see if it made me feel smarter.
- Christy: Does it?
- Bonnie: [swings the tassel back and forth] Who can feel smart wearing something this stupid?
- Christy: Take it off before you stretch it out.
- Bonnie: Hey, let's not get into who stretched what, pumpkin head.
- Christy: So tonight was my first meeting at Gambler's Anonymous.
- Bonnie: Why didn't you tell me?
- Christy: I didn't want to tell you unless I was actually doing it, and I guess I'm doing it. I got my first day pin, they don't give you chips like AA.
- Bonnie: Guess they learned that the hard way. So how is it?
- Christy: Interesting, for one, I'm the youngest person there, and I'm the only woman there not wearing a track suit.
- Bonnie: That's how I tell you apart from Marjorie.
- Bonnie: [holds out envelope] Open it up.
- Christy: [reads the letter] I got accepted into law school!
- Bonnie: You did?
- Christy: You steamed it open, didn't you?
- Bonnie: Razor blade, it would've fallen out if you'd held it the other way.
- Christy: Can I start jumping up and down now?
- Bonnie: You better because I've been doing it for the last half hour!
- Christy: [they hug each other jumping up and down and screaming, excitedly] Now I just need $150,000 to pay for it!
- Bonnie: [excitedly] One day at a time, dear!
- [they continue jumping]
- Christy: Let me walk in peace.
- Bonnie: Okay.
- [slowly follows her in the car]
- Bonnie: I've got half a tank of gas, I *will* wear you down.
- [Christy turns and goes back, Bonnie puts the car in reverse]
- Bonnie: Newsflash, cars go backwards. Christy, the last time you ran away I let you go and I didn't see you for 2 years, please get in the car.
- Christy: [finally gets in] For the record, I'm only getting in because I chose to run away in high heels.
- Bonnie: Here's another installment from Christy.
- Adam: Do we really have to keep doing this?
- Bonnie: What?
- Adam: Making Christy pay me back. I mean she's like family, can't we do this like family? You loan them money, they never pay it back, and then you quietly resent them when they buy something expensive.
- Christy: [after going to Gamblers Anonymous] I'm going to take a shower, I smell like stale cigars and failed marriages.
