Quotes 

• Sharon Beck : [regarding her suitcase]  I guess the one good thing is I don't have much to put in it... Oh, oh, do you have my prescription? I'll just... toss it here with my clothes.

  Rusty Beck : I couldn't fill your prescription.

  Sharon Beck : What?

  [pause] 

  Sharon Beck : Why?

  Rusty Beck : Because it's a forgery, Mom, and it wasn't given to you here.

  Sharon Beck : A forgery? It's not a forgery. Look...

  Rusty Beck : No one at this rehab would give you this drug, and you involved me in a crime by trying to get me to fill it for you.

  Sharon Beck : A crime? Oh, my God. I don't know what you're talking about. Do I seem high to you right now, Rusty?... Listen. I apologized to you, okay? And I meant every word of it, and I've tried very hard to keep from making things worse of you but, as you said the other day, you were not the easiest kid. And knowing what you were... Hm? Even when you were little, I knew what you were, and that has never been easy for me... facing that...

  Rusty Beck : Facing what?

  Sharon Beck : Oh, are you pretending that you're not gay? Because I know that you are, and, pssh, I can overlook it, you know, but can't you just overlook some of my problems? At least I'm trying to be normal. I don't get that hit off of you.

  Rusty Beck : Are you saying that you let your boyfriend beat me up, and you dumped me off at the zoo and drove away and got high for three years because you knew I was gay?

  Sharon Beck : *Dump* you at the zoo. I didn't "dump" you at the zoo. Gary wouldn't let me come back and get you, and then they put you in a foster home...

  Rusty Beck : Where I was knocked around, Mom.

  Sharon Beck : Yeah, and then you chose to go on the street and do those things... for money!... with guys!

  Rusty Beck : And where do you think I learned how to do that, Mom?

  Sharon Beck : Or...

  [sighs] 

  Sharon Beck : I'm not blaming you, Rusty, okay? And I'm assuming you did the best that you could and that you can't help yourself.

  Rusty Beck : I think I should go.

  Sharon Beck : What? No! Come on! Can you just show me some of the forgiveness that I am showing you?

• [last lines] 

  Rusty Beck : You got out of rehab last night and you are already drinking?

  Sharon Beck : [on the phone]  Three beers is not drinking. And you know what, I needed that much to get over our little fight.

  Rusty Beck : It was not a little fight. It was, it was a big, terrible bunch of lies that you told me. I am not responsible for your drinking and I am not driving you to the halfway house. Go back to rehab and start over. Goodbye.

  [hangs up] 

  Sharon Raydor : I'm so sorry.

  Rusty Beck : That this happened or that she'll only call back?

  Sharon Raydor : It sounds like her on the phone, I know, but it's her addiction talking, not your mom.

  Rusty Beck : Why do I even care anymore?

  [Rusty's cell phone starts vibrating] 

  Sharon Raydor : Because you love her, and because you don't want to give up hope that someday she'll be well.

  Rusty Beck : But not tonight.

  [puts his cell phone's power off] 

• Sharon Beck : Rusty, I get past you being gay and all the trouble that that caused me - and your response is to just walk away? You think that somehow I'm worse than a gay boy who sold himself on the street. I *forgave* you, and *you* are not *big* enough to forgive *me*.
