Quotes:

[Harley brings take-out food to Gus while he's at work at Spaulding]::Gus: Thank you. My favorite kind of food - the kind that sweats in the bag before you open it.

[Later, the two of them discuss their day]::Harley: Did you buy or seel any small countries today?::Gus: No, that's tomorrow at 4.

[Blake explains why she thinks Gus is already investigating the missing persons case that Harley's Angels is handling]::Harley: Great. Then we'll be on the same track.::Blake: No. You'll be on separate, parallel tracks.::Harley: Is this some sort of, 'If train A is going somewhere and train B . . .'

Rick: I'm pregnant! I'm pregnant! Well, I'm not. My wife is. I'm just overweight.

Alan: Alexandra, you look like you've been frightened badly.::Buzz: You look radiant.::Alex: Thank you. I was out taking a ride on Buzz's sow.::Buzz: Hog.::Alex: Whatever.

Harley: Susan, I don't know whether to hug you or strangle you.::Susan Lemay #2: Kill me, I'd feel better.

Dinah: Do you know how sick and twisted I am? I'd just like to explain it to you. I have played Princess Cassie for so long that I actually started to believe I was her. That everything she had should be mine. And at the same time, I hated her for taking everything, everything that should be mine in my dream. So being her and hating her is what my life has become. That's who I am. And I didn't see that until last night. And I am nothing without Cassie.::Bill: Stop it. Listen to me. Listen to me. That's the whiskey talking. That is not you.::Dinah: No. It is.::Bill: No, it isn't.::Dinah: Bill, I saw it in your eyes and I saw it in Daddy's eyes when you guys did not care, you were very excited to pack me off to Italy, so you could keep me away from Cassie and she could go on with her life.::Bill: You know what? This is what it's all about. It's you getting a fresh start. That's what you need. That's all you need, Dinah.::Dinah: She has everything that I have ever wanted, and I have needed that to stay alive.

Edmund: Dinah, why are you stalking me?::Edmund: Stalking you? [laughs] Okay, so obviously I am not the only one that is hitting the bourbon so early in the morning.

Dinah: Well, don't you want to hear my tale of woe?::Edmund: Dinah, I don't have time to hear it right now.::Dinah: Oh, okay. Well, just kick me to the kerb, like everybody else has. It's cool.::Edmund: Look, Dinah, I've been where you are, wanting to live someone else's life, willing to do just about anything to have it. It's no good. It doesn't work. My obsession with my brother Richard cost me everything I cared about. I hate to see you make the same mistake.::Dinah: My whole life's been a mistake, Eddie.::Edmund: It's not a mistake, Dinah. Take it from someone who's been there. Your life hasn't even begun yet.

[confronting Harley about her goodbye letter to him]::Gus: Oh, so this is nice. This is like a "Dear John" letter. You're going to kiss me off with a letter?::Harley: I couldn't figure out any other way to do this.::Gus: You make the decision without me, you don't even consult me, and this is what you want to do?::Harley: Well, you said you weren't going to be in court today. So...::Gus: Yeah, I'm not going to court. I'm not going to stand there and watch you throw your life away.::Harley: That's fine, but I'm still going through with this. Ten years. Ten. I mean, even with time off with good behavior, that's a really long time. So my life will be in the state pen and yours will be here. That's the reality.::Gus: I don't really have a reality without you in my life, okay? So if they send you to Vailsburg, I'll just buy the house next door to prison.::Harley: No.::Gus: If they send you out of state, I'll just... I'll hit the road. I'll be the first one in, the last one out every single visiting day. You can count on it.::Harley: That is not...::Gus: In fact, I'll get a job. I'll get a job...::Harley: ... a life for you. You deserve more than that, Gus.::Gus: I'm not walking out of your life.::Harley: Well, you have to! Okay? You have to. Because I can't live with anything else. None of this is the way it's supposed to be, okay? None of this is the way I wanted it. Starting with Phillip. But he's dead, okay? And now we are, too. And I've got to go.::Gus: Wait a second. Just wait a second.::Harley: You know what? I don't want to be late for court. And this is the part you said you couldn't watch. So don't.
