  • Margot: OK.
  • Eli: OK, what?
  • Margot: OK, I'm not in love with you either.
  • Eli: Yes, I know, you're in love with Richie. Which is sick and gross.
  • Margot: I think we're just gonna to have to be secretly in love with each other and leave it at that, Richie.
  • Margot: Do you send my mother your clippings and your grades from college?

  • Margot: Your reviews aren't that good.
  • Eli: But the sales are.
  • Margot: [about Richie's suicide attempt] Why'd you do it? Because of me?
  • Richie: Yeah, but it's not your fault.
  • Margot: You're not going to do it again, are you?
  • Richie: I doubt it.
  • [Margot starts to cry]
  • Raleigh: You don't love me any more, do you?
  • Margot: I do, kind of. I can't explain it right now.
  • Richie: I have to tell you something...
  • Margot: What's that?
  • Richie: I love you.
  • Margot: I love you, too.
  • Raleigh: Are you ever coming home?
  • Margot: Maybe not.
  • Raleigh: You're joking.
  • Margot: No.

  • Royal: [Points to Henry] He's not your father.
  • Margot: Neither are you.
  • Ethel: How long have you been a smoker?
  • Margot: 22 years.
  • Ethel: Well, I think you should quit.
  • Royal: First thing I want to do is take you out to see your grandmother, at some point.
  • Richie: I haven't been out there since I was 6.
  • Margot: I haven't been out there at all, I was never invited.
  • Royal: Well, she wasn't your real grandmother, and I never knew how much interest you had, uh, sweetie. Anyway, you're invited now.
  • Richie: You know, Rachael's buried out there too.
  • Royal: Who?
  • Chas: My wife.
  • Royal: Oh, that's right, isn't it. Well, we'll have to swing by her grave too.
  • [Chas slams his book shut and angrily walks out]
  • Royal: [about Raleigh] You're two-timing him with that bloodsucker Eli Cash. Now, that's just not right, dammit. You used to be a genius.
  • Margot: No, I didn't.
  • Royal: Anyway, that's what they used to say.
  • Royal: Can we get somebody over here to kill these mice for us?
  • Margot: No. They belong to Chas. Or anyway he invented them.

  • Margot: I tie it to the radiator.
  • Margot: You probably don't even know my middle name.
  • Royal: That's a trick question. You don't have one.
  • Margot: Helen.
  • Royal: That was my mother's name.
  • Margot: I know it was.
  • Eli: [hearing the news that Royal is dying] I am very sorry, Margot.
  • Margot: It's okay. We're not actually related anyway.
  • Eli: True.
  • Raleigh: You've made a cuckold of me.
  • Margot: I know.
  • Raleigh: Many times over.
  • Margot: I'm sorry.
  • Raleigh: And you nearly killed your poor brother.
  • Ethel: What's he talking about?
  • Margot: It doesn't matter.
  • Raleigh: She's balling Eli Cash.
  • Richie: You dropped some cigarettes.
  • Margot: Those aren't mine.
  • Richie: They just fell out of your pocket.
