Misunderstanding About Missing Cash

Ella Hirsch: Wrong dresser. It's in the sock drawer.

Maggie Feller: What?

Ella Hirsch: My cash. That's what you were looking for, right? That's what you want.

Maggie Feller: No! God!

Ella Hirsch: [sighs] Oh, well. I guess after being absent for some 20-odd years I can't expect you to want to have a relationship with me. How much?

Maggie Feller: How much what?

Ella Hirsch: Money, Maggie! How much money were you hoping to get from me?

Maggie Feller: ...I don't know.

Ella Hirsch: Yes, you do.

Maggie Feller: I want to go to New York. Maybe act. I think I'd be good at it.

Ella Hirsch: Humph, clearly!... How much do you need?

Maggie Feller: Three grand.

Ella Hirsch: That you would not have found in the sock drawer... How much do you have?

Ella Hirsch: I won't give you three-thousand dollars, but I'll do this; they need help down at the assisted living center. You get that job, stop loafing around here like a princess...

Ella Hirsch: ... and I will match what you earn, penny for penny.

Maggie Feller: [Maggie stares at her, shocked] ... You would do that?

Maggie Feller: ... Why?

The Value of Shoes and Self-Expression

Maggie Feller: Shoes like these should not be locked in a closet! They should be living a life of scandal, and passion, and getting screwed in an alleyway by a billionaire while his frigid wife waits in the limo thinking that he just went back into the bar to get his cellphone. These are cute too.

Rose Feller: Please tell me you just made that up.

Maggie Feller: Look, if you're not going to wear them... don't buy them! Leave them for someone who's going to get something out of them.

Rose Feller: I get something out of them! When I feel bad I like to treat myself. Clothes never look any good... food just makes me fatter... shoes always fit.

Emotional Turmoil and Unexpected Desire

Amy: Which one are you crying about, the predatory prick or the shit-for-brains tramp? Because neither one deserves your tears.

Simon Stein: [reading from one of Rose's romance novels] His fingers tangled in her curls while his tongue plundered the soft cavern of her mouth. She made no protests. Her furnace was alight. Jack drew his lips from hers and urged her forward so he could take one shirt-veiled nipple into his mouth. Kit's gasp urged him on. He licked the material until it clung to the right peak then drew the turgid flesh deep into his mouth. Kit moaned, her body spasming in response. Her eyes were closed, her lips parted." Okay, um, embarrassing as this is to admit, I'm officially turned on.

The Reality of Aging and Relationships

Rose Feller: You're not going to look like this forever, you know. Eventually you'll be older, and all of the men who foot your bill now will be buying drinks for women half your age and then what will you do?

Carrying love within oneself

Maggie Feller: It is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart. I carry your heart. I carry it in my heart.

Embracing the Art of Losing

Maggie Feller: The art of losing isn't hard to master; so many things seem... f... filled... with the intent to be lost that their loss is no disaster. Lose something every day. Accept the fluster of lost door keys, the hour badly spent. The art of losing isn't hard to master. I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster, some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent. I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster. Even losing you... the joking voice, a gesture I love... I shan't have lied. It's evident the art of losing's not too hard to master though it may look like... Write it!... like disaster.

Carrying Love Within the Heart

Maggie Feller: I carry your heart with me. I carry it in my heart. I am never without it. Anywhere I go, you go, my dear. And whatever is done by only me... is your doing, my darling. I fear no fate... for you are my fate, my sweet. I want no world, for, beautiful... you are my world, my true. Here is the deepest secret no one knows. Here is the root of the root... and the bud of the bud... and the sky of the sky of a tree called life... which grows higher than the soul can hope... or mind can hide. It is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart. I carry your heart. I carry it in my heart.
