Quotes 

• Bonnie : [gets a text on her phone]  Oh thank you GOD!

  Christy : You passed the evaluation?

  Bonnie : Close enough, I'm on probation!

  Marjorie : What'd you have to do to turn that around?

  Bonnie : [happily]  A lot of things I'm ashamed of! Waitress, a round of water with lemon in it for my friends.

• Christy : I could write a book with everything I know about raising a teenager.

  Bonnie : And what would it be called? My Own Daughter Doesn't Even Talk to Me, But Here's What *You* Should Do?

  Christy : What would yours be called? I Think I Had a Child Around Here Somewhere?

  Bonnie : That wasn't my fault, you're the one who kept taking off the leash.

• Bonnie : You wouldn't believe the things they wrote about me.

  Christy : You looked at their petitions?

  Bonnie : I may have steamed open a few envelopes. Several of them accuse me of being lazy, untrustworthy, and one referred to me as a broomstick with hair.

  Christy : That's funny.

  Bonnie : They also referred to you as my pet mouse.

  Christy : Hey! That's so mean!

• Christy : I wanted to call Jill, see how her first night with Emily was.

  Bonnie : Awkward and awful.

  Christy : You already called her?

  Bonnie : I didn't have to, it was like that every time I got moved to a new foster home.

• Jill : [wearing a baseball cap with a crown on it]  What do you think? Does this say 'Fun foster mom'?

  Bonnie : It says 'Prince died and all I got was this stupid hat'.

• Bonnie : Siri, what is black mold?

• Bonnie : What do you want?

  Mr. Munson : Pam Grier.

  Bonnie : Within reason.

  Mr. Munson : A woman who tells me she's Pam Grier.

  Bonnie : How about banana bread and a back massage?

  Mr. Munson : ...Sure!

• Bonnie : I've lived this, nobody wants older kids in foster care, they're like a gas station hot dog that's been left on the rack too long.

  Christy : Jill, you have an opportunity to do something great here, you can prevent this child from turning into an old hot dog like my mom.
