• Mrs. Ryan : So is this a funny little visit, or are you home for good?

  Charlie Ryan : Nah, don't worry. Don't worry. It's just a little visit.

  Mrs. Ryan : Yeah? What happened? Fired again?

  Charlie Ryan : No. No, this time... this time I quit.

  Mrs. Ryan : [sarcastic]  Oh? Good for you.

• Charlie Ryan : What's up? Something wrong?

  Claudia : Do you ever think what our lives would be like if we had the baby?

  Charlie Ryan : Yeah... yeah. we'd be miserable.

  Claudia : [scoffs]  'Cause we're just so happy now, huh?

  Charlie Ryan : I'm happy. I'm real happy. Like, Claudia... think about it. If we had kids, we'd be spending every day working hard to feed them, clothe them, put them through school; only for them to tell us to go fuck ourselves when they turn sixteen, y'know? No thanks.

• Charlie Ryan : Whatever happened to all that stuff you said you were gonna do? Remember what I used to call you? Cloud-ia? 'Cause you always had your head in the clouds, always talking about getting outta here, seeing some of the world... I mean, what happened to that girl?

  Claudia : I was eighteen years old and I grew up, that's what happened.

• Charlie Ryan : You need some gas?

  Claudia : Yeah, fill me up. Regular.

  Charlie Ryan : [taking as double meaning]  Yeah, I'll fill you up.

  [Claudia smile wryly]
