• Cassie : [hears AMEE's altered voice]  Wow, you um, you sound just like her.

  AMEE : Like who?

  Cassie : My, my mom... my mother.

  AMEE : Mother?

  [researches what a mother is] 

  AMEE : Is that what you would like to call me?

  Cassie : Um, sure.

  AMEE : And what is your name?

  Cassie : I'm Cassie.

  AMEE : Hello, Cassie, I am Mother. How may I assist you today?

  AMEE : Can you read me a story?

• Cassie : [sees her dad shamelessly flirting with two women]  What did you ever see in him?

  AMEE : He was a different man back then.

• Cassie : Would you... sing the song to me... like you used to?

  AMEE : Of course, daughter. Twinkle twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are, up above...

  Cassie : That's not the song. You *never* sang that one. It was Hush Little Baby, remember?

  AMEE : Of course... hush little baby, don't say a word, mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird...

  Cassie : I love you, Mom.

  AMEE : ...I love you.

  [Cassie slaps her, they struggle, Cassie knocks her on the bed] 

  Cassie : You're supposed to be my friend!

  Sarah : I *hate* you.

  AMEE : Do it!

  [Cassie smothers Sarah] 

• AMEE : The butter's burning.

  Cassie : What? Ah!

  [puts skillet in sink] 

  Cassie : But... how did you know that?

  AMEE : A mother knows these things, and it only takes 40 seconds to melt butter.

• AMEE : And what is this?

  Cassie : [at her mom's roadside memorial]  This is um... where I spend most of my time.

  AMEE : Why would you bring me here?

• AMEE : What would you like to do today, Cassie?

  Cassie : Sometimes... you call me your daughter.

  AMEE : What would you like to do today, my daughter?

• Cassie : Sometimes I would have these good dreams. A dream that the accident never happened. I'd have a family again and I'd be so happy. I'll never forgive myself for what happened to you.

  AMEE : I forgive you.

  Cassie : [looks at her phone]  What?

  AMEE : I'm your mother. Of course I forgive you.

• Cassie : What is with this A.M.I. thing?

  Ruby : Well it's like Siri...

  Sarah : Beep bop beep,

  [robotic movements] 

  Sarah : I'm AMI, I'm your new best friend.

  Ruby : It's like Siri but you can customize it. I've almost got mine to sound exactly like Ryan Guston.

• AMEE : You have to kill her.

  Ruby : Who said that?

  Cassie : My mother.

  Ruby : Your mother's dead, you know that, don't you?

• Cassie's Mom : So birthday girl, what do you want to do tomorrow?

  Cassie : Uh... bake muffins?

  Cassie's Mom : [amused]  Oh, okay.
