• [Dave hands Billy a business card to a job offer] 

  Billy : What's this?

  Dave : It's a job.

• [Billy meets Dave, telling him of her financial situation] 

  Billy : Carl talked me into this loan. He told me that, um, he could get me into my grandmother's house for nothing and that I shouldn't be paying someone else's mortgage, and he didn't explain it to me, and I never understood it. And then a couple years later, the rates changed entirely, and I... he didn't explain...

  Dave : [Dave cuts Billy off]  Can I... Can I just... Can I just cut across you for a moment there, please? Listen... I, I am all ears, but you're gonna have to talk up a little bit, 'cause I am very deaf. This happens to be my good ear here, but all I heard then was, 'Mah, bluh, buh, blah, blah, blah, bluh, blah.' So, just... Whatever it was you just said, please, just a little louder. I can't quite hear it.

• [Dave tells Billy the financial situation she's in] 

  Dave : Okay, Billy. We are in the middle of a very tight fiscal knot, and it's squeezing, and you are right in the middle of it. Now, you could pay your three months. You can walk away with some money. You could pay your three months and then pay more and more, and you can keep the house...

  Billy : So I can?

  Dave : If that's really what you wanna do. But, what can you do? What sort of work do you do?

  Dave : [Billy doesn't reply]  Well, that doesn't sound promising.

• [Billy tells Dave why she wants to keep her house] 

  Billy : I have two boys, and that is our home, and... and I grew up in that home, and that is our home.

  Dave : Look, I can make a note for you, right? I can write a fucking novel. But at the end of the day, you're gonna have to come up with some of this.

  Billy : No.

  Cat : Ever pull a rabbit out of your hat?

  Billy : No.

  Cat : [Cat sighs, rolling her lips]  How's your scream?

  Billy : My scream?

  Cat : Yeah.

  Billy : Um...

  Cat : Like, for bloody murder. I mean, a scream, you know?

  [Cat screams her highest dramatic scream] 

• [Cat tells Billy if the doors are locked to the Shells you're fine] 

  Billy : Is it dangerous?

  Cat : Mm, if the door's locked, you're fine. Yeah. Doors locked, you're good.

  Cat : It pays the rent.

• [Billy tells Dave her problem with the Shells as he tells her his problem is sex] 

  Dave : You've seen the Shells, right?

  Billy : Yeah. I'm a little claustrophobic, though, so I might have a problem. I'm not sure.

  Dave : Yeah, well, I have a problem, too, you know? I like to fuck. That's my problem. And when I meet a bad bitch, it drives me crazy. Now, really, really... think about it.
