- Bonnie: That woman gave me up when I was 4 years old. Do you know what happens to 4 year olds dumped in the foster care system? They don't get adopted, especially when they're 5 feet tall!
- Bonnie: Why didn't you come back for me? You said you'd come back.
- Shirley: I wanted to, Bonnie.
- Bonnie: So what happened?
- Shirley: I was working, I was trying to get together money for us to live on.
- Bonnie: Yeah and?
- Shirley: Things got complicated.
- Bonnie: What does that mean?
- Shirley: I was working as a cocktail waitress in Reno, and I met this man, and I moved in with him...
- Bonnie: And?
- Shirley: ...He said he didn't want any children around.
- Christy: Mom, I am so sorry, I swear I didn't know about this part.
- Bonnie: So, you picked your own happiness over mine?
