- Craig Snow: You need to face the fact that your mother is an alcoholic, but Jerri, that doesn't mean she doesn't love you.
- Jerri Blank: No, I've heard her say plenty of times she didn't love me.
- Mr. Geoffrey Jellineck: Now, Jerri, I know you are having some family problems at home, but if you can't check your baggage at the door before rehearsal, then I will find someone else, somebody who doesn't have a family.
- Craig Snow: So when you get fed up with lies and delusions, we'll make a place for you... we'll just tell somebody to leave.
- Mr. Chuck Noblet: [leading the "Obscurity Prayer" at the Ala-coholics meeting] Dear God, please give me the strength to blame those who did this to me, to accuse those who didn't, and the wisdom to know the difference.
- Jerri Blank: Look, I never said my mother was an alcoholic, all right. Yes, she drinks a lot and yea, it's alone and yea, OK, maybe she can't stop. But it doesn't mean she has a problem.
- Craig Snow: Why are you covering for her, Jerri?
- Jerri Blank: I'm not covering for her, Craig. I'm dealing with this the same why I dealt with my own alcoholism and drug addition- with lies and delusions.
