• Jonathan : So are you gonna give me some super important life advice now?

  Lily : Nah.

  Jonathan : Old people are supposed to be insightful and, you know, pass on your experiences so I remember them at crucial moments in my life.

  Lily : We old people are just pretending to be insightful, to give you the impression that life adds up to something meaningful and comprehensible.

  Jonathan : It works.

  Lily : Actually, I think that the trick is you just show up and you give life your best shot. Although hand-written thank you notes and being on time don't hurt.

• Jonathan : [rapping] 

  Jonathan : Family, family, more than a man/It's a clan/Sometimes you got to make a stand/Make a plan, raise a hand/Seize the day/Find a way/Embrace the solution, make a resolution/It's collusion and confusion/And everyone thinks they know the right way/But things are frightening/Thoughts like lightning, emotions heightening/Sorrow for tomorrow/Tomorrow time is borrowed/Feeling hollow/Better die alive, to strive/Say goodbye/Feeling whole in your soul/That's the goal/So it roll.

• Jonathan : Wait, are we going to get presents?

  Michael : Oh, I like that line of thinking.

  Lily : If you are very nice, Santa will bring you an inheritance, yes.

  Jonathan : Cool, are you rich?

  [embarrassed laughter] 

  Lily : I'm fine. The only stipulation being it has to all be spent on hookers and blow.
