Jeremy: What are you up to today, exactly?
Nola: Oh, you know, same old, same old. Prosecuting your mother for murder.

Brian, Jr.: Why didn't Grandpa name you as his successor, Dad? You said you were his right-hand man.
Brian: Yeah, well, maybe he's a lefty.

Brian: (to Nick) You know, your moral superiority was always pretty sickening. But since you stole the company out from under every other kid in the family, it really doesn't fly!

Karen: I'm sorry. Am I boring you?
Simon: No. No, no, no. I always enjoy week-long monologues about my girlfriend's ex.

Clare George: I wasn't able to take care of you. What was I supposed to do?
Nick: I don't know. I don't know. What were you supposed to do? Maybe you could've just looked at me and seen me and thought it was worth it to try. To make an effort to be a mother. Now, you dragged me into this world. I didn't ask to be born. But the minute that it got hard, you gave up. You took the darlings' money and you ran away. That's what happened.
Clare George: I don't even know what to say to that!
Nick: Well, you could say you're sorry.
Clare George: I'm sorry!
Nick: Very good. See? It's all better now.

Nola: The most important thing in my life is my work. I don't have a husband. I don't have kids.
Jeremy: You have a secret boyfriend.
Nola: Yes, I have a secret boyfriend and my work. And when my work doesn't go well, when I don't have that, I don't know what I have left.
