Cristy 5 Years Old : Mimi said that you were the one born to help carry us on to success.
Joy : No, Christie, Mimi was wrong. The world does not *give* you opportunities, the world destroys the opportunities. It breaks the heart. I should have listened to my mother, when I was 10 years old. I should have spent the rest of my life watching TV and hiding from the world like my mother. So I don't want to hear anymore about Mimi. She was wrong, she had her head in the clouds, and it was full of stupid ideas, and it gave me stupid ideas. But this?
[picks up a mop]
Joy : This stupid, stupid idea!

Trudy : You are in a room and there is a gun on the table, and the only other person in the room is an adversary in commerce. Only one of you can prevail. Yet, you have protected your business and Maurice's money. Do you pick up the gun, Joy?

Trudy : There is nothing strange about this question at all. This is money. Do you pick up the gun?
Joy : I pick up the gun.
Trudy : Good. I'm going to remember that you said that... when I speak to my lawyer.

Joy : Oh, Dad, I'm so sorry.
Rudy : Yeah...
Joy : But, ya know, Tony's livin' in the basement.
