Best Quotes
Jade: [at rehab] Every day, it was the same. Is there anyone, anyone in my old life who would still talk to me? Wouldn’t hang up the phone when I ask for money? And as soon as I got that money, it was gone. And then I needed more. Like that guy in the story. That guy who keeps pushing the rock up the hill, and every time he gets to the top, it rolls straight back down. Every day, I pushed that rock up the hill, and every day, it rolled right back down to the bottom. But I’m here now, and I know that every day can be a fresh start if you want it to.
Darby: [after Jayde’s story] Darby, eleven days. The whole pushing a rock up the hill thing is very moving. I remember the first time I heard you tell that story at the recovery center. What was that like two years ago?
Darby: Honestly, what are we doing here?
Group Leader: Sobriety is a battle. It’s a daily battle.
Darby: I know, I’ve tried. Seven times. The Sobriety Center. Way Forward Recovery Clinic. A Better Tomorrow. NA. But, hey, it’s rehab or jail.
Darby: My mom is in the hospital. I have to call my sister.
Mike: Last week you said your mom was in a car accident.
Darby: Last week I was in detox! Who knows what the f*** I was saying?
Devon: [over phone] Jesus, Darby. I’m not bailing you out of rehab. I’ve got enough problems with Mom in the hospital. F***. I told Joe not to look for you. No one has time for your bulls**t right now. Mom could die.
Darby: Devon.
Devon: Don’t call me back.
Darby: [after getting stuck at a visitors center due to the storm] Do you have the Wi-Fi? Excuse me.
Sandi: No, there’s no Wi-Fi.
Ed: [as he enters the room] Storm’s on top of us now.
Sandi: Well?
Ed: I got one bar by the tree for about ten seconds.
Darby: [after she discovers a girl, Jay locked in a van] I’m going to get you out, okay? I promise, okay?
Sandi: [to Darby] Why don’t you come on over here and sit down? Make yourself comfortable. We are here till the storm clears.
Ed: And then some.
Ed: [referring to cards] Anybody want to play?
Sandi: You can’t wait?
Ed: We’re stuck here. Seven Card Stud. Quarter a hand?
Lars: I don’t gamble.
Sandi: That’s smart.
Lars: I got a game everyone could play.
Ed: What’s that?
Lars: Bulls**t.
Ed: Bulls**t?
Lars: Yeah, Bulls**t. It’s the best game.
Ed: [referring to the card game] Sandi. You in?
Sandi: Fine. But aren’t you scared you’re going to lose? You know I can see right through your bulls**t.
Lars: Oh, four in a row to start a game?
Ed: They got a name for that?
Ash: Yeah, bulls**tter’s row.
Lars: That’s not a thing.
Ed: [as they’re playing the card game] Everybody’s got a tell. Trick is, play the man, not the hand.
Lars: Everybody’s got a tell, huh? What’s yours?
Ed: You’re going to have to figure that one out for yourself.
Ash: [to Ed and Darby] Well, thank you for your service, really. And your dad too.
Sandi: Okay, everyone always says that, and it sounds about as empty as “thoughts and prayers”.
Ed: Babe.
Sandi: Look, nobody knows what you sacrificed, Ed.
Ed: It’s okay.
Lars: [referring to Ed’s time in the army] Did you ever kill anyone?
Sandi: Jesus.
Lars: What?
Ed: I lost count. Just kidding.
Ed: Yeah, Sandi here surprised me with a little vacation to my favorite city.
Ash: Reno’s your favorite city?
Ed: Yeah, all the action of Vegas, half the noise.
Lars: [after Lars enters the truck] You’re lucky you’re out here, Jay. That place is full of liars and cheats.
Ed: [as they see Lars in the truck] Where’s he going?
Ash: Sore Loser-ville.
Sandi: Good thing he doesn’t gamble.
Ed: Oh, it’s going to be a long night.
Ash: What the hell is going on?
Darby: [referring to Lars] He has a little girl tied up in his van.
Ash: Mr. Bulls**t? Are you sure?
Darby: Yes.
Darby: [referring to Jay] She’s sick or something. She could die out there.
Ash: We got to go get her.
Darby: Yeah. But he’s probably just waiting out there. I think he knows that I was in the van. That’s why he came in here.
Darby: [referring to Lars] He has a gun.
Ash: Look. Maybe Ed has a gun. He’s a marine. Alright. You’re going to be okay. You’re not going to be out there by yourself.
Darby: What if Ed doesn’t have a gun?
Ash: Then we have to find something here.
Jay: [as Darby is trying to help Jay escape] But where are the men?
Darby: Men?
Jay: The ones who took me.
Darby: How many men were there? How many men?
Jay: Two.
[just then Darby sees Ash with Lars]
Lars: [referring to Darby] She’s in the van!
Ash: Yeah, no s**t, she’s in the van.
Ed: [referring to Lars] I don’t like that guy.
Sandi: Ed, you don’t know that guy.
Ed: I’ve known plenty of “that guy”. Weird little white boys with a chip on their shoulder.
Ash: [referring to Devon’s text to Darby] And why would she write that? She doesn’t want you there and, apparently, neither does your mom.
Darby: Why do you care?
Ash: I need to know who’s messing up my life right now.
Ash: What did you do?
Darby: Drugs.
Ash: What kind of drugs?
Darby: Whatever I could get.
Ash: I bet your dad loved that, huh? Big-time war hero with a junkie daughter.
Darby: He’s dead.
Ash: What, he die in the war?
Darby: He shot himself in the head.
Ash: [points his gun at her head] Like this?
Ash: First, the kid got sick, then there’s a storm, and now you. A junkie.
Darby: You don’t know me!
Ash: I know exactly who you are.
