Best Quotes


 

Sharon: I got so good at taking care of him, I thought, why can’t I do that for a living? So I went back to school and got licensed.
Lynsey: What a miserable life. I’m so sorry.
Sharon: It’s okay. People say things they don’t mean. Sometimes they can’t remember words. It’ll get easier.


 

Sharon: I know this is hard.
Lynsey: This isn’t hard. Driving a car shouldn’t be a victory.
Sharon: I mean leaving. Transition can be hard.


 

Lynsey: I should be getting back anyway.
Sharon: Back home.
Lynsey: No, back to work. Redeploy.
Sharon: You’ve made a lot of progress, but you’re not ready to go back to work. Not nearly.
Lynsey: Then what the hell was the point in all of this?


 

Sharon: Organize yourself. Prep for memory gaps. Make lists. Keep your lists. Put like with like. Find two of something, put them together like we worked on.
Lynsey: I’m not going to forget.
Sharon: People do. They can get a little ahead of themselves.


 

Sharon: It can help to be with people.
Lynsey: I’m good on my own.


 

Rick: Why do you want to clean pools?

Lynsey: I don’t know my number.
James: I mean, it’s just business.
Lynsey: No. I really don’t know my number.


 

Rick: The drains are serious. You don’t know what’s in those drains. You can tell a lot about a person because of what’s in their pool drains.


 

Rick: People treat their pools like s**t.


 

Lynsey: Do you swim?
James: [as he show her his leg] Not exactly, no.
Lynsey: I saw it in your walk.

James: How is it going?
[Lynsey shrugs her shoulders]


 

Dr. Lucas: With brain injuries, there are never any guarantees.
Lynsey: I’m feeling pretty good. In fact, I’d like to know what would happen if I stopped taking the medication?
Dr. Lucas: You’d be a high risk of seizure, anxiety, withdrawal and depression.


 

Lynsey: I’m just asking to come off these meds. I’ve never been medicated before, and I don’t intend to be for the rest of my life.
Dr. Lucas: Lynsey, if you’re looking for a neurologist who will give and take prescriptions like candies, I’m not the guy.


 

Lynsey: I have a job. I got a job.
Gloria: You did? Doing what?
Lynsey: Cleaning pools.

Lynsey: [referring to cleaning pools] It’s just temporary until I can go back.
Gloria: What do you mean “back”? Are you kidding me? When were you going to tell me that? Wait, will they even take you back?
Lynsey: I’m going to try.
Gloria: In the shape you’re in?
Lynsey: It’s not your problem.
Gloria: It is my problem when I get a call in the middle of the night from some doctor in Germany telling me my kid got blown up.


 

Lynsey: Hey, what’s going on with my truck?
James: What truck? No, things just get busy. I got this white lady. She keep calling me to help her move gym equipment all the time. You know what I’m saying?
Lynsey: Weird.


 

James: How the pool business going?
Lynsey: It’s cut-throat.
James: Really?
Lynsey: No.


 

Lynsey: I’m kind of on a lot of medication.
James: What kind of medication?
Lynsey: Like “don’t shoot yourself in the head” kind of medication.
James: Okay. You mean like pain pills? Crazy pills? Happy pills?
Lynsey: So far, just pain and crazy.


 

Bro: [as a guy at the bar is heckling Lynsey] Hey, I’ll buy you a beer too, bro.
James: Deaf and blind. No, because I already got a beer. And, you know, my girl said no.
Bro: I’m not picking up that vibe. Are you his girl?
Lynsey: I’m really sorry. I have a boyfriend.
Bro: Wait. Wait. So she’s your girl, and she has a boyfriend?
James: Yeah, that’s exactly right. She my girl, and she got a boyfriend. That okay with you, bro?

James: I was in a car accident. I got in a car accident with Jess, and her son, my nephew, Antoine. On the causeway.


 

James: I remember looking in my rearview mirror, and I could see Jess’s face. I just remember looking in her eyes. It was like she was saying bye. Like, “See you later.”


 

Lynsey: Did Jess die?
James: No. No, not Jess.
Lynsey: I’m so sorry.


 

James: Hey, you good? Hey, look, if it get dark now, you just ride it. Okay?

Lynsey: I don’t think it’s healthy. Staying.
James: For her? Or for me?
Lynsey: Actually, me.

Gloria: I thought you were the responsible one.
Lynsey: I am the responsible one.
Gloria: Just don’t turn into your aunt Leslie. Or anyone from my family. Or your father’s side.


 

Gloria: [referring to Lynsey’s doctor’s appointment] They treat you better if you have someone with you. They know somebody cares about you, so you must not be too awful.

And Jess said no, that he was too small and that he needed to be in the child seat. And I said yes. I said yes. I thought I was supposed to say yes to s**t like that. Give him what he asks for.

Lynsey: You think I lied about my brother? What about you? You let your nephew ride in the front seat that night. What else did you leave out? Were you drinking? Were you drinking?
James: I’d had two beers. What’s your excuse though? How you treat your friends, your family. Everybody there, just to be escaped from. Just to be left behind. Like they let you down instead of the other way around.
