But the boys have decided to keep temp Tamara, promoted her former deputy Shafi Amid to co-team-leader and divided her accounts.

Quotes:

Alice: What about the social workers?::Mollie: What about 'em? They got 'em in Santa Rosa just like they got 'em on the rez. For all I know they got 'em on the goddamn moon.::Justine: They would if we was there.

Steven: Hey I picked up your manure Auntie. You ready to start stinking up the neighborhood?

Mollie: [looking the dress she wore at her partner's funeral] Oh god! I meet him in it and bury him in it.

Mollie: Ugh, don't listen to that old time Indian doctor shit. Look what it did for Sheldon's father.::Sheldon: Ain't got a father no more.::Mollie: Yeah honey I know.

Reyna: Did you sign in Sir?::Steven: Don't need to nurse, I'm beyond help. You got time for a cup of coffee?

Nellie: You know the spider, she taught us to weave. There was a girl one time and her grandma was real sick. That old woman couldn't even make it to the creek and she needed water. And that girl started crying. And the spider heard her. She said 'I'll teach you to weave. I'll teach to weave a basket so tight, you can carry water in it.' That's how it started these baskets. That girl started to weave. And that's why we don't forget the spider. We love her just like that little girl loved her grandmother.

Anna: Indians. We're Indians Mollie. So much shit happens to us in our lives we get used to it.::Mollie: No shit.::Anna: Forget how to feel good. Maybe never knew how. I mean that's why we expect the worst.
