Charlie
- Charlie: These assignments--they don't matter. This course doesn't matter. College doesn't matter. These amazing, honest things you wrote--they matter.
- Charlie: I'm sorry you had to come over, Liz.
- Liz: No, it's okay.
- Charlie: I'm sorry I always thinking I'm dying.
- Liz: Charlie, your blood pressure is 238 over 134.
- Charlie: I'm sorry.
- Liz: Go to the hospital.
- Charlie: I'm sorry.
- Liz: Stop saying you're sorry. Go the hospital. You have congestive heart failure. If you don't go to the hospital, you'll be dead by the weekend.
- [sternly]
- Liz: You will die.
- Charlie: You don't like school?
- Ellie: Only idiots like high school.
- Charlie: But you're on track to graduate, right?
- Ellie: Counselor says I might not. I'm not worried. I'm a smart person. I never forget anything. High school is just bullshit.
- Charlie: But, Ellie, it's important. If you don't graduate, then...
- Ellie: Are you actually trying to parent me right now?
- Charlie: No, I'm... Sorry. I just... I just thought that maybe we could spend some time with each other.
- Ellie: I'm not spending time with you. You're disgusting.
- Charlie: Well, I'm a lot bigger than I was since last time you saw me.
- Ellie: No, I'm not talking about what you look like. You'd be disgusting even if you weren't this fat. You'd still be that piece-of-shit dad who walked out on me when I was eight. All because he wanted to fuck one of his students.
- Ellie: [heads for the door] I don't even know why I'm here.
- Charlie: I can pay you.
- Ellie: You want to pay me to spend time with you?
- Charlie: And I can help you with your work. It's what I do for my job. I can help you pass your class.
- Ellie: You teach online?
- Charlie: Yes.
- Ellie: Your students know what you look like?
- Charlie: I keep the camera shut off.
- Ellie: Yeah, that's probably a good idea.
- Charlie: Is that why you kept her from me all this time? Because you thought that I would think that you're a bad mother?
