Mitzi Fabelman I'm doing this thing. And I don't know if it's the right thing but it's a life or death thing for me, and I'm sorry, but everybody else is gonna have to hang on for dear life. And somehow, we will survive this, all of us. Even your father, who I adore with all my heart. He deserves so much better than what I'm doing, but... .but Benny needs me, dolly. And I need him. So much so that without him, I'm turning into someone I don't know, and none of you will know my anymore. I'll just be that hateful person who did that terrible thing to your back.

Claire Keen Knowing that you don't know is the first and most essential step to knowing, you know?

Tammy I feel ok, mostly... fucking might help.

Adele Lack Everyone is disappointing the more you know them.

Pastor Everything is more complicated than you think. You only see a tenth of what is true. There are a million little strings attached to every choice you make; you can destroy your life every time you choose. But maybe you won't know for twenty years. And you may never ever trace it to its source. And you only get one chance to play it out. Just try and figure out your own divorce. And they say there is no fate, but there is: it's what you create. And even though the world goes on for eons and eons, you are only here for a fraction of a fraction of a second. Most of your time is spent being dead or not yet born. But while alive, you wait in vain, wasting years, for a phone call or a letter or a look from someone or something to make it all right. And it never comes or it seems to but it doesn't really. And so you spend your time in vague regret or vaguer hope that something good will come along. Something to make you feel connected, something to make you feel whole, something to make you feel loved. And the truth is I feel so angry, and the truth is I feel so fucking sad, and the truth is I've felt so fucking hurt for so fucking long and for just as long I've been pretending I'm OK, just to get along, just for, I don't know why, maybe because no one wants to hear about my misery, because they have their own. Well, fuck everybody. Amen.

Eddie Brock The power?

Anne Weying Yeah. When it's- you know.

Eddie Brock Inside you?

Anne Weying You know what I mean.

Eddie Brock Okay.

Anne Weying Hey, Eddie?

Eddie Brock Hm?

Margot There's no —

Lou There's no problem with the water. There's nothing to get fixed. I thought when we're 80, I'll tell Margot I've been doing this her whole life, and it'll make her laugh. As kind of a long-term joke.

Arlene Lorenzo He's trying to drive me insane!

Arlene Lorenzo But you don't know anybody...

Charity Barnum You don’t need everyone to love you. Just a few good people.

Laurie Strode Molly please, do you have any thoughts on Victor and Elizabeth?

Molly Cartwell Well, um, well I think that Victor should have confronted the monster sooner. He's completely responsible for Elizabeth's death because he was so paralyzed by fear that he never did anything. It took death for the guy to get a clue.

Laurie Strode And why do you think he was finally able to confront his monster?

Molly Cartwell I think that Victor had reached a point in his life where he had nothing left to lose. I mean, the monster saw to that by killing off everybody that he loved. Victor finally had to face it. It was about redemption... it was his fate.

Arlene Lorenzo I love Dick!

Mitzi Fabelman Movies are dreams that you never forget.

Margot Sometimes I'm... walking along the street and a shaft of sunlight falls in a certain way across the pavement and I just wanna cry. And then a second later, it's over. I decide because I'm an adult, to not succumb to the momentary melancholy; and I thought that sometimes with Tony, she just had a moment like that. A moment of not known how or why, and she just let herself go into and there was nothing anyone could do to make it any better. It was just her and the fact of being alive, colliding.

Arlene Lorenzo Dick frightens me.

Charity Barnum For you and you...and for your father.

Mitzi Fabelman When I was a girl and I felt sad, I’d go to the zoo and I’d watch the monkeys.

Monica Sherwood They made you laugh?

Mitzi Fabelman Yeah, the monkeyshines. But there was more to it than that, it was...They understand what we’ve done to them, with the cages and the people pointing. We share that with them, the truth of how cruel people are. But if you watch them for long enough, you can tell they know stuff we can’t begin to imagine, important stuff. And they’re not going to let us in on it. Because it belongs to them, it’s their own monkey business, theirs. It’s not ours. It’s, oh I dunno...

Burt Fabelman Self-possession.

Mitzi Fabelman Right. They belong to themselves.

Hadassah Fabelman If it belongs to itself, let it go back to where it came from.

Mitzi Fabelman Anyway, that’s how come I got a monkey.

Natalie Fabelman And a therapist.

Lisa Fabelman He throws his poop.

Monica Sherwood The therapist?

Lisa Fabelman No the monkey.

Burt Fabelman You don’t have to. We have plenty of room -

Hadassah Fabelman My rabbi in New Jersey says a monkey in the house isn’t Kosher.

Burt Fabelman Did you schedule him for his polio vaccine?

Monica Sherwood They can get polio?

Burt Fabelman Well, they’re susceptible to pretty much everything humans are, so yes.

Mitzi Fabelman Pass the peas. He hates going to the vet. You see, Monica, in this family, it’s the scientists versus the artists. Sammy’s on my team, he takes after me, except he’s got real talent.

Sammy Fabelman Mom.

Natalie Fabelman And he’s completely terrible at science.

Reggie Fabelman And algebra.

Mitzi Fabelman Bennie and me, we never... we never d - we never let it get as far as I imagine you think.

Sammy Fabelman Oh I never imagined any of that.

Mitzi Fabelman Do you think dad knows? I don’t mean did you tell him, I know you didn’t. But - do you think he has an inkling?

Mitzi Fabelman I’ve almost told him so many times. I’ll say “Burt, there’s something I’ve got to tell you,” and, and he looks at me like he can’t conceive that anything could be wrong between us. So instead I say “Burt, we got ants,” or “Burt, could you climb on the roof and turn the antenna so I can watch Channel 5?” Which, of course, he does. I can’t fight with your father. He kills with such kindness. I’m mean to him, he buys me a dress. From Saks.

Sammy Fabelman Mom, when I showed you what I filmed, I never meant for any of this to happen.

Mitzi Fabelman Guilt is a wasted emotion.

Sammy Fabelman What’s gonna happen now?

Mitzi Fabelman I’m gonna be your mom. I’m gonna be the girls’ mom. Despite my countless faults, I’m not ruining everything for everyone. I’m gonna not be selfish. Burt Fabelman is the kindest, smartest, wisest, most patient, most decent, most understanding man there is. And I’m gonna stay married to him

Arlene Lorenzo We have a very important school report on turquoise jewelry due in two days, and we can't find any books on it, and the President's having us followed. It's too much pressure.

Charity Barnum Father is sending me to finishing school.

Charity Barnum I wish...for happiness like this forever.

Charity Barnum I don't know what my future will be.
