Emily Bergl: Tessie

Quotes 

• Tessie : Mom's dead.

  Susie Myerson : Jesus, you scared me for a minute, Tess. I didn't need to be sittin' for that. What happened? Her liver strangle her in her sleep?

  Tessie : No, she tried to crawl out of the window of the nursing home to go find some booze and she fell.

  Susie Myerson : Shit.

  Tessie : Three stories.

  Susie Myerson : Fuck. Bad way to go.

  Tessie : No. No, she survived the fall. But then she rolled off the dock into the water.

  Susie Myerson : So she drowned?

  Tessie : No. She was dog-paddling back to the docks and got hit by a boat.

  Susie Myerson : Holy Christ!

  Tessie : But she survived that. They got her out, took her to a hospital, and she got an infection.

  Susie Myerson : I'm sorry, is she dead yet?

  Tessie : Yep. Choked on the meds.
