Betty: I'm here and I kind of have a problem.
Amanda: Right. 'Cause you're turning 40?
Betty: 24. (edit)
Claire: (in a MODE bathroom as she leaves a stall, surprised to see Betty who is brushing her hair in front of a mirror) I'm so sorry. I try to keep up the appearance that I never use the bathroom. I hope you won't think less of me. (edit)
Betty: I had this stupid fantasy...fireworks...epic romance - like Romeo and Juliet.
Gio: You know those two ended up dead in a tomb, right?
Betty: Yeah, I don't like thinking about that part. (edit)
Christina: This bloody window! Is a nice breeze too much to ask for?
Renee: My sister probably had it bolted shut. Evil robots don't need oxygen. (edit)
