Kathleen: We are all forced to face ourselves as less than we'd hoped to be.

Richie: I'll just get my '9 and settle things the old-fashioned way. Boom!

Kathleen: You know his mama died?

Richie: Yeah? Sorry to hear that. Shit happens!

Kathleen: Yeah but I gotta pay Justin my rent now. That makes him my landlord.

Kathleen: Kids! You give 'em an inch, they take a mile!

Melissa: That ain't love.

Kathleen: Richie doesn't hit you and never has, so you did good there.

Kathleen: You act like you're ten feet tall and bulletproof!

Richie: Yeah, I am!
