Quotes

Marjorie : Christy, as long as we've known each other, the only times you've enjoyed sex have been when there was an element of danger involved. First it was your married boss.
Bonnie : Then that drunk pothead fireman.
Christy : [fondly] Oh yeah, he was fun.
Marjorie : Then with your ex-husband on your front lawn.
Christy : It wasn't the front lawn, it was in his van, which was technically his house.
Marjorie : That kind of behavior's okay once in a while. Back when I was running with the Black Panthers, we knocked over this bank in Oakland, this guy Jamal and I started doing it in the getaway car. An indelible ink packet exploded, my ass was blue for a month.
Bonnie : I'm watching a sweet old lady put rolls in her purse but I just can't get past that story.
Marjorie : That's nothing, Jamal's a senator now.

Bonnie : I almost drank last night.
Marjorie : What?
Bonnie : I was at the grocery store and this woman was giving away free samples of turkey meatballs, suddenly I'm in the liquor section trying to pick between vodka and bourbon.
Marjorie : I hear turkey goes better with *bourbon*.
Bonnie : That's it, no lecture?
Marjorie : What's the point? It's obvious the reason you're wanting to drink is because you're still missing Alvin.
Bonnie : [tearing up] I have *never* been in this much pain. I think about him all the time. I think about him last thing before I go to sleep and I think about him first thing when I get up.

Marjorie : So tell me something, Bonnie, since becoming the secretary, how often have you thought about drinking?
Bonnie : Who has time? Between baking the brownies folding the chairs, and getting the tissues ready for Wendy. Besides, what if I relapsed? What precedent would that set?... Oh!
Marjorie : You're welcome.
Bonnie : I didn't say thank you.
Marjorie : Yes you did.
