• Tanya McQuoid : He seemed like a nice guy.

  Belinda Lindsey : So what's the problem?

  Tanya McQuoid : I just know I'm gonna get hurt.

  Belinda Lindsey : I, I think you might be getting ahead of yourself a little, you know? Maybe he likes you.

  Tanya McQuoid : Yeah. He likes the first layer. Maybe. I don't know. You know, he... But what about the second layer and the third layer? And then every step along the way, you know, I have to worry about, you know, is he gonna like the next layer, you know? And then I get all afraid, like, you know, how much do I wanna show him? You know, is he gonna be repulsed? Or is he gonna be alarmed? And at the core of the onion, Belinda... is just a straight-up alcoholic lunatic.

  Belinda Lindsey : That, that's not true.

  Tanya McQuoid : No, it is. It is. And I just wanna show my hand. I don't wanna play poker anymore. I just wanna skip all the layers, and just go straight to the crazy, and just like, you know, let the chips fall where they may. And, you know, just show him, just show him the core of the onion.

• Tanya McQuoid : Greg, come on. You need to go.

  Greg Hunt : What? Why?

  Tanya McQuoid : Well, you know, eventually, you're just gonna leave. So I think we should just cut to the chase. Okay? Let's just go.

• Tanya McQuoid : Both my parents mentally abused me and, and, and my mother still tortures me, and she's dead. And I still have her ashes. I carry them around. So now you see, that's the core of the onion. It's already... This is it. This is the core of the onion, and I don't want to... I want you to get out of here and save yourself because I'm just like a, I'm like a dead end, you know? This is a trap door. And I think you should get out. And I want you to take these things.

  Greg Hunt : Whoa.

  Tanya McQuoid : I want you to take 'em. I want you to get out of here now!

  Greg Hunt : The f... I'm not gonna take your dead mother's ashes.

  Tanya McQuoid : I want you to get them out of here.

  Greg Hunt : What the fuck am I supposed to do with them?

  Tanya McQuoid : I don't know. Put them in the trunk of your car. Just get them out of here. You can put them in a trashcan.

  Greg Hunt : You're fucking crazy.

  Tanya McQuoid : It's who I am. And I... There's nothing I can do about it. Please get out. Please. Get out. Greg, I told you to get the fuck out.

  Greg Hunt : No. I still wanna fuck you.

  Tanya McQuoid : Really?

  Greg Hunt : Yeah. Come here, crazy. Come on.

  Tanya McQuoid : Okay.

  Greg Hunt : You're not really cuckoo.
