Cashier: "Or your card's maxed out." Jen: "Maybe your card's maxed out!" Cashier: "That doesn't even make sense... Just take some items out, do you really need eight bottles of wine?"

3. Lovell: "Movie studios, the beaches, the palm trees, that's for tourists. What LA is, really, is a place of business. And business needs calm, predictability. You are a disruptor. Milt Leakey is paleolithic, but he understood when to stay his hand. You, on the other hand, push and push for some abstract idea of what you think of as justice. It's destabilizing." Tommy: "You know, I really should thank you." Lovell: "Why?" Tommy: "Because now I know what I gotta do. I'm gonna get my job back, so I can put you in jail." (Folie-lex)
2. Emma: "If you’re saying this man was living just a few miles away from us, and never looked for us, why would I want to know this person?" Lyn: "Because he’s the only family we have." Emma: "We are the only family we have." (Folie-lex)
