The Savages Quotes

Visa Expiration Ends Relationship

Jon Savage: [about his girlfriend] She's moving back to Poland.
Wendy Savage: What, you and Kasia broke up?

Family Dynamics and Guilt in Care Decisions

Jon Savage: Dad's not the one that has a problem with the Valley View. There's nothing wrong with Dad's situation. Dad's situation is fine. He's never gonna adjust to it if we keep yanking him outta there. And, actually, this upward mobility fixation of yours, it's counterproductive and, frankly, pretty selfish. Because it's not about Dad, it's about you and your guilt. That's what these places prey upon.
Wendy Savage: I happen to think it's nicer here.
