The Good Girl - Reflections on Identity and Mortality
Justine Last:
I thought if I died today what would happen to me? A hateful girl... A selfish girl... An adulteress... A liar.

The Good Girl - Choices Between Two Diverging Paths
Justine Last:
How it all came down to this, only the Devil knows. Retail Rodeo is at the corner on my left. The motel is down the road to my right. I close my eyes and try to peer into the future. On my left, I saw days upon days of lipstick and ticking clocks, dirty looks and quiet whisperings. And burning secrets that just won't ever die away. And on my right, what could I picture? The blue sky, the desert earth, stretching out into the eerie infinity. A beautiful never-ending nothing.

The Good Girl - Perceptions of Freedom and Confinement
Justine Last:
As a girl you see the world as a giant candy store filled with sweet candy and such. But one day you look around and you see a prison and you're on death row. You wanna run or scream or cry but something's locking you up. Are the other folks cows chewing cud until the hour comes when their heads roll? Or are they just keeping quiet like you, planning their escape.

The Good Girl - Lost Dreams and Uncertain Futures
Justine Last:
You're a writer so you have yourself a goal, I guess. I used to, you know, lay in bed and imagine other cities, other jobs I could have; other husbands. Now I don't even know what to imagine anymore.

The Good Girl - Embracing Change and Life's Opportunities
Justine Last:
After living in the dark for so long, a glimpse of the light can make you giddy. Strange thoughts come into your head and you'd better think em. Has a special fate been calling you and you're not listening? Is there a secret message right in front of you and you're not reading it? Is this your last best chance? Are you going to take it? Or are you going to the grave with unlived lives in your veins?

The Good Girl - Connection Through Shared Discontent
Justine Last: [to Holden]
I was looking at you in the store and I liked how you kept to yourself. I saw in your eyes that you hate the world. I hate it too.

Wanderlust - The Burden of Modern Lifestyle Choices
Eva:
I know New York is a great city, but I do not miss that lifestyle at all. I mean it was just stress, and Blackberries, and sleeping pills. I used to drink a triple latte every morning just to wake up.
Linda:
Well, I see your point, but I kind of value the sleeping pill and the Blackberry and the latte.
Seth:
You know you can really get trapped in that web of beepers and Zenith televisions and Walkmens and discmens and floppy discs and zip drives, laser discs, answering machines and Nintendo Power Glove...
Linda:
Wow, you know so much about technology.

Linda:
What?
Karen:

Wanderlust - Branding Ideas in a Humorous Context
Marcy:
It just doesn't fit the HBO brand. We do violence and heartache but it's sexy. Do you understand?
Linda:
Of course, what was I thinking? I mean you know what we could do? We could throw in some vampires in there to have sex with the penguins, and then you could have brooding sexy little vampire penguins. Would that work for your brand? What if the polar bears were hookers and on meth and then just show their tits for no reason? How would that work?
Marcy:
I think you're joking, but if you could do that, that would be very interesting for us.
