Quotes 

• Rachel Patton : What if my mom showed up? How would you feel about that?

  Shane Patton : It'd be fine. It'd be just fine. Plus, it would never happen.

  Rachel Patton : Oh, yeah? Why not?

  Shane Patton : 'Cause she can't afford the plane ticket.

• Rachel Patton : But I, I really wanna get involved, and what I really... I wanna do something meaningful.

  Kitty Patton : Oh, but those jobs are so awful, honey. They make no money.

  Shane Patton : Yeah.

  Rachel Patton : Yeah, but I don't need to make a lot of money.

  Kitty Patton : But what's even the point? Those jobs are just asking wealthy people for their money. Your job would literally be to ask yourself for money. It's all about money. It's all about the money. The money, money, money.

  Shane Patton : Money, money, money.

  Kitty Patton : Money, money, money, money, money. And if you have money, then that's what you bring to the table. You don't need to work. You throw parties. And that's work. That's a lot of work. Trust me. Your wedding took years off my life. Don't get me wrong, I loved it. I loved every minute of it. And I cannot remember a thing. I don't remember anything. I'm not kidding. I don't remember anything. It's a blur.

• Shane Patton : Rachel's thinking about quitting journalism.

  Kitty Patton : Hmm.

  Shane Patton : She still wants to make a difference, but, uh, she finally figured out journalism is a sucker's game.

  Rachel Patton : I didn't say that.

  Shane Patton : Well, I mean, I think we all... So, uh, she was thinking about getting involved with a non-profit. I know, Mom, you do a bunch of shit with charities, so, you know.

  Kitty Patton : I think that's a great idea, Rachel. I love working with all my charities. It's a great way to give back. And the great thing about it is you can be involved as much or as little as you want. So it gives you flexibility.

  Rachel Patton : I mean, I was actually, um... I, I really wanna get a job.

  Kitty Patton : No. Why would you do that? Honey, no. Why would you wanna do that? That doesn't make any sense. Uh-uh. You don't need to do that.

  Shane Patton : Right.

  Rachel Patton : Why? What do you mean? Why not?

  Kitty Patton : Well, it's just limiting. You can do so much more by being on boards and hosting events... things like that. And the good part is, you don't have to answer to anybody.

• Rachel Patton : Where are you going?

  Shane Patton : I'm gonna go ape shit on this guy.

  Rachel Patton : Shane, wait... what... we're in the middle of a fight!

  Shane Patton : We have the rest of our lives to fight.
