Michael : Come on, Eleanor. I changed, you changed, maybe she changed, too.
Eleanor Shellstrop : No, no way.
Michael : Why can't you accept that she might be living a good, honest life? That she's an attentive partner and a good mom?
Eleanor Shellstrop : Because I wanted that mom! I wanted the mom who made me afternoon snacks instead of just telling me to look for loose fries in the McDonald's ball pit. Why does Patricia get that mom? If Donna Shellstrop has truly changed, then that means she was always capable of change, but I just wasn't worth changing for.

Eleanor Shellstrop : So my mom is alive, and she lives here. Why didn't you tell me sooner, man?
Michael : I had already told you that you died and that I had tortured you for centuries and that you're doomed to be tortured again. I just didn't want to be, like, a bummer. But now you know everything important about your life. I promise.

Eleanor Shellstrop : A police officer came to my home and told me that my mom had been accidentally trampled to death when she bent down to adjust her toe ring at a Rascal Flatts concert.
Michael : That police officer was an actor. See, about a month before, your mom had gotten drunk, wandered into a charity auction, and bid $30,000 for a date with Gene Simmons, outbidding everyone else by $29,800. She didn't want to pay, so she faked her death, moved to Nevada, and reinvented herself as Diana Tremaine.
Eleanor Shellstrop : Diana Tremaine is my fake ID name. - I -

Eleanor Shellstrop : How dare she steal the identity I stole?
