Quotes 

• Emily Raydor : I'm just a... I'm worried that-that Dad's gonna say he's drinking because, you know, he-he feels like you tried to change him and we still cut him out of Christmas.

  Rusty Beck : Well, yeah, and he probably WILL say that because users always find a reason why it's someone else's fault they're drinking. And Sharon knows that.

  Emily Raydor : You just... You don't understand the whole history. Mom promised Dad that he would never see his kids again unless he stayed sober; and, you know, you may not know this, but, um, she keeps her promises.

  Rusty Beck : Right... Well, you may have to pretend like you're seven at Christmas but you and Ricky are still adults. Does Sharon still tell you who you can and can't see? 'Cause she doesn't do that to me. Don't you think this might be what Jack wants, for you to not trust Sharon?

• Rusty Beck : Did those wine bottles come out of Jack's garbage?

  Ricky Raydor : Yeah, just don't say anything about that to Mom.

  Rusty Beck : Bu... but what if she finds out we knew and didn't say anything?

  Emily Raydor : Here's another Christmas tradition you need to learn...

  Ricky Raydor : Right. So, after a certain age, the holidays are for our parents, not for us; so, it's our job, our responsibility really, to make them feel like we're having as great time as we did when we were seven.

• Ricky Raydor : Mom, where's the Christmas Village?

  Rusty Beck : The what?

  Emily Raydor : Ignore him, Rusty. He's obsessed with childhood junk.

  Ricky Raydor : Whoa. "Junk?" No, no. First off, the Christmas Village is very valuable. It's filled with collectives. Rusty, it's-it's a special diorama made with all these model buildings from Dickens' novels and they all light up. It's awesome.

  Sharon Raydor : I am so sorry, honey. I... I left the Christmas Village in storage.

  Ricky Raydor : Why would it be in storage? We put it up every year and... and... Mom, where are the pinecone elves? What is this? That looks like a guilt cookie.

  Sharon Raydor : They were falling apart.

  Ricky Raydor : You didn't throw them away.

  Sharon Raydor : I'm afraid I did.

  Ricky Raydor : You dumped Harry, Sam, Franklin, Scotty, and Twinkle in the trash?

  Emily Raydor : Ha-ha-ha.

  Rusty Beck : You named the elves?

  Ricky Raydor : Mom, these are not just pinecones with hats. These are part of my childhood. Eh-eh, they're a Christmas tradition.

  Sharon Raydor : Well, this Christmas we can make some new traditions. The four of us, a new family.

• Sharon Raydor : Sorry. I have two dead Santas in the morgue.

  Emily Raydor : There's a new tradition for you.
