  Leo Kirkman : Mom.

  Alex Kirkman : At least that's what the Internet says.

  Alex Kirkman : Oh, really? Because I think my teenage son is dealing drugs. Possession with intent to distribute, and that is a felony. Penny found it. Do you know what would have happened to her if she'd taken even one of those?

  Leo Kirkman : What... I mean, she's eight. It's not like she's stupid.

  Alex Kirkman : And what's your excuse?

  Alex Kirkman : Of course.

  [to Leo as she leaves] 

  Alex Kirkman : We are not done.

• Tom Kirkman : [sitting down with Alex]  Tyler saw the interview. He doesn't want me to do the eulogy.

  Alex Kirkman : This isn't good.

  Tom Kirkman : No. This is what you get for being honest in D.C.: opportunism.
