Quotes 

• Matt King : It's this a bad timing?

  Kai Mitchell : Uh, no, no, we're just fighting.

• Kai Mitchell : Oh, shit. Matt, is everything okay? Is there any news?

  Matt King : In fact there is. I'll tell you about it in a minute. Who is he?

  [silence] 

  Matt King : Does she love him? Who is he?

  Kai Mitchell : Matt...

  Matt King : I'm sorry to put you in that position, but I'm not really the one who put you there, am I? I'd like to know who the guy is that my wife was... seeing.

  Kai Mitchell : Matt, you're angry.

  Matt King : [subtle sarcasm]  You have very keen powers of observation.

  Kai Mitchell : Wow. Okay, you know what, I think we should talk about this later. I think maybe you need to cool it.

  Matt King : Is it Troy? That fucking Neanderthal?

  Mark Mitchell : You don't know him.

  Kai Mitchell : Mark, don't you even. Shame on you. You're supposed to be her friend.

  Mark Mitchell : Well, guess what. I'm Matt's friend, too, okay? And this is a unique and dramatic situation. And I'd want to know.

  Kai Mitchell : Don't betray her when she's not even here to defend herself. Matt, look, you may not be able to hear this right now, but it's not her fault. Your marriage was not... She... she was lonely.

  Matt King : So you're going to talk to me in clichés about women? Nothing is ever a woman's fault. Was it still going on when she had the accident?

  Mark Mitchell : [Kai looks away. Mark nods]  But I stayed out of it. Anytime Kai would bring it up, I would walk away.

  Matt King : [to Kai]  And you what? You probably egged her on. Add a little drama in your life without any actual risk. Well who do you think you're protecting, *Kai*? She doesn't need your protection. it's over. She's going to die.

  Kai Mitchell : [a look of fear]  Don't say that.

  Matt King : No, it's true. I was going to tell you yesterday. She's never going to wake up. You hear me? Do you understand what I am saying? She's gone! We're pulling the plug! You were putting lipstick on a *corpse*!
