Quotes 

• Bonnie : So who is James Sutcliffe?

  Christy : I don't know... but I thought it'd be better for Violet to think Butch was dead than for her to try tracking down that monster.

  Bonnie : Understood... I'm sorry I said you're a bad liar, you are a *great* liar.

  Christy : Thank you, I learn from the best.

  Bonnie : [somberly]  I'm also sorry I wasn't there for you.

  Christy : Thanks.

• Violet : [in therapy]  I bet I'd be much happier if *you* had been the one that walked out and I got to stay with Dad.

  Bonnie : [laughs bitterly]  Oh you would lose that bet.

  Christy : Mom,

  Bonnie : No, she's 18, she can hear this.

  [to Violet] 

  Bonnie : Your father beat the *crap* out of my daughter all the time, he sent her to the ER *twice*. I *seriously* doubt you would've been happier with him.

  [silence, Christy gets up and leaves the room] 

• Bonnie : Violet is sick, she's very sick.

  Paramedic : [wheeling the gurney]  Okay, where's the body?

  Luke : Oh my God!

  Bonnie : [hugs Luke]  No no no, not Violet.

  [to the paramedic] 

  Bonnie : Second floor, door's open, just follow your nose.

• Luke : [the women tell him Violet's sick]  Is there anything I can do? Should I get her some soup?

  Bonnie : If you really want to help, you can go to the store, get half a dozen cans of air freshener and a couple chocolate bars.

  Christy : Chocolate bars?

  Bonnie : Yeah, dead people tweak my sweet tooth.

• Bonnie : [comes in the door]  Oh God, I need a drink.

  Christy : What happened?

  Bonnie : You know that smell coming from Mrs. Valinsky's apartment everybody's been complaining about? It's Mrs. Valinsky.

  Christy : Oh my God.

  Bonnie : Yeah, she must've been there a couple days. She looked like a bean bag chair in a night gown.

• Baxter : Is that frozen yogurt?

  Bonnie : Yep, dead people tweak my sweet tooth.

• Christy : There's free therapy?

  Bonnie : Yeah.

  Christy : Why aren't you going?

• Bonnie : [looks out window]  Ooh, makeout session. Oh yeah, you go girl, eat that face. Oh my God.

  Christy : What is it?

  Bonnie : It's your daughter.

  Christy : It's okay, I saved all her old pregnancy clothes.

  Bonnie : That's not her boyfriend.

  Christy : What?

• Violet : How long were you with him?

  Bonnie : Too long.

  Christy : It's not like I could run home to you.

  Bonnie : Hey, back then I was in a prison of my own... prison.

• Christy : [pats tombstone]  I'm sorry to drag you into this, James Sutcliffe, I'm sure you were a great man.

  Bonnie : She's watching.

  Christy : [spits on tombstone and kicks at it]  I hope you rot in hell you bastard!

  [woman comes up with flowers] 

  Megan : Why are you spitting on my husband's grave?

  Christy : Ohhh... I think you know.
