- Federico Diaz: I've worked here for years, and you don't know a damn thing about me.
- David: That's not true.
- Federico Diaz: You own an atlas?
- David: An atlas?
- Federico Diaz: Yeah, because if you did, you'd know there's a 24-hundred-mile difference between Puerto Rico and Mexico.
- David: You're... Puerto Rican...?
- Federico Diaz: ...¡Vete a la mierda cabrón!
- Ruth Fisher: I have to ask you something.
- Claire: OK.
- Ruth Fisher: You promise to give me an honest answer?
- Claire: Maybe.
- Ruth Fisher: Did you set that fire?
- Claire: No, Mom, I would never do anything like that.
- [Ruth looks relieved]
- Claire: I may have swiped that foot, though.
- Brenda: [on first visit to Nate's funeral home, which is also his family's home] Not quite as Addams Family as I'd expected.
- Officer Keith Charles: The next time you call someone a fuckin' fag, you make sure that fag's not an LA police officer... You got that?
- [shoves badge into redneck's head]
- Officer Keith Charles: Understand me?
- Redneck SUV Driver: [whimpering] Yeah.
- Officer Keith Charles: Now you got my badge, file a complaint, I dare you. Now get your punk ass outta here, fuckin' bitch.
- Nate: Claire, are you ok?
- Claire: [long pause] No.
- Nate: [concerned] Well, do you wanna talk about it?
- Claire: Sure, my pimp's threatening to beat me up cuz I can't turn enough tricks... What's worse is, he's threatening to take away my smack, it's hell...!...
- [laughs]
- Nate: Why do you always have to be such a bitch?
- Claire: Why d'you have to naturally assume I'm in trouble? Like you guys are such shining examples. Jesus!
- Officer Keith Charles: I know where you are. I was there. And I'll wait for you because I love you. But I'm not moving backwards for anybody.
- Officer Keith Charles: What's right is getting her some top-shelf legal counsel and having her plead the fifth. I don't care what you have to do. Just keep her out of the system. She'll be eaten alive.
