M.E.: We'll just cut each sandwich up into four little sandwiches. That's what Jesus did when He had those 5,000 people to feed and only two loaves of bread.
Kelly: It was five, and He served fish too.
M.E.: Tuna salad. I read all about it in the book of Matthew. Psychologically it works because nobody is so uncouth to take four sandwiches at one time.

Rene: Kelly you know better!
Kelly: 'You know better, Kelly!' 'Don't do that to your brother, Kelly!' 'Your father's got a bad back, Kelly!' 'The world can't stop for your inconvenience, Kelly!'

Rene: Nevis in handcuffs, and looking at that white sheet and knowing there was a 14 year old little boy under there, it was terrible, both mothers were there.
M.E.: And they both lost a child.
-
Principal: When I was 12 years old, Lonny Anderson called me a sissy, I broke his nose, the principal called my father to congratulate him. Today I'd be arrested for assault and battery.
Rene: We live in different times.
Principal: If kids these days were smart they wouldn't get guns, they'd get law degrees.
-
Woman: Someone at school threatened my son.
Rene: School matters are best reported to the principal.
Woman: Nevis, that's my boy, saw a gun in the locker next to his.
Odessa: Well then there's no question about it, report it to the police.
Woman: NO! Larry Huber, that's the boy with the gun, said he'd empty it into Nevis' back if he told anyone, now he's afraid to go to school, and not that I would let him go...he's only 14.

M.E.: He just had his hand on my 15 year old daughter's breast!
Rene: Come on, you were making out in the bushes when you were 11.
M.E.: That's different!
Rene: How?
-
M.E.: You certainly seem to know a lot about parenting, providing you've never been one.
Rene: You are such a bitch!
-
M.E.: Do you believe that people can change?
Kelly: Rene says you can't change other people, you can only change yourself.
M.E.: She's probably right.
-
Rene: M.E., you were wild at 15.
M.E.: This has nothing to do with me at 15.
Rene: It's exactly about you at 15. You know where she's coming from, that's why you can't talk to her.
M.E.: I talk to Kelly.
Rene: You talk at her, there's a big difference.
M.E.: I already lost one child.
Rene: And you'll lose another one if you don't stop acting like an officer and start acting like a mother.
-
Rene: Are you okay?
M.E.: My 15-year-old daughter just got picked up for drunk driving, and called my best friend to come and bail her out, and not me. No, I'm not okay.
Rene: The night of your senior prom, you got so drunk you drove your car off the road and into an electrified fence.
M.E.: Tell me you didn't tell her that.
Rene: I told her we had some difficult times growing up.
