Quotes 

• Bonnie : [crying on the bed]  The holidays are just really hard for me.

  Marjorie : [sarcastically]  Oh *you're* the one.

  Bonnie : [sits up]  Christy told this... awful story about when she was a kid, and I've heard the story a thousand times, and I laughed every single time... but this time... I just wanted to... punch myself in the face for how horrible I was.

  Marjorie : Bonnie, this is to be expected. You're coming up on 5 years of sobriety, and you're just now starting to look back at the person you used to be through sober glasses, and it's a hard thing to take.

  Bonnie : But why at Christmas?

  Marjorie : We don't get to pick when it happens. I once made a flight to Detroit very uncomfortable for my fellow passengers.

  Bonnie : Why were you going to Detroit?

  Marjorie : National Cat Show.

  Bonnie : Is that why you were crying, because you paid to go to a cat show?

  Marjorie : I was crying because 15 years earlier I cheated on my husband and it was only during mid-flight that the... enormity of what I'd done hit me.

• Marjorie : You handled that beautifully.

  Bonnie : Good, because I want to die, but I'm not about to ruin another Christmas.

  [to the others] 

  Bonnie : Who wants to watch 'It's a Wonderful Life' even though it's not?

• Bonnie : I think the reason we love candy canes is they give us the same feeling as putting coke on our gums.

  Marjorie : [eating peppermint pie]  It kind of does! And I won't be vacuuming naked at 3 in the morning.

  Tammy : Okay, I know what I want for Christmas, a videotape of Marjorie on cocaine!

  Bonnie : That wouldn't be on video, it'd be chiseled on a cave wall.
