Quotes
-
Jill : I just feel like I'm being punished for all the bad stuff I've done.
Bonnie : That's not true, if you had to be a good person to have a child, I wouldn't have Christy.
Jill : Can we not talk about her?
Bonnie : Sure... but you should know, what Christy said about you not making a good mom, that wasn't about you, that was about me.
Jill : You?
Bonnie : Yeah, if you've been listening the past few years, I wasn't the best mom to her.
Jill : So she gets to take that out on me?
Bonnie : She takes it out on everyone. We were at the movies one time, and she flipped out on this mom who bought her kid one of those big sodas.
Jill : That's a bad thing?
Bonnie : Apparently.
-
Jill : My doctor said I can start trying to get pregnant again right away.
Marjorie : That's good.
Christy : Yeah, so, do you want me to be your pregnancy partner this time?
Jill : [bluntly] No.
Christy : But, I thought we were good.
Jill : We are, but I've decided to stop trying.
Wendy : But I thought you wanted to have kids.
Jill : I do, so I'm going to try a different way. I'm going to foster a child.
Marjorie : That's great, Jill!
Jill : Well, I was talking to Bonnie and what she said about bouncing around to different foster homes, I decided the best thing I could do is give one of them a good home.
Bonnie : Hold on a minute... you're telling us, that something I said, impacted your life in a positive way?
[to Marjorie]
Bonnie : You hear that?
-
Jill : [her phone pings, quietly] It's my baby app... today would've been day 57.
[Christy hugs her as she cries]
-
Jill : When I got mad at Christy for saying what she said, I think part of me was scared she was right.
Bonnie : Christy doesn't know that. When I was a kid I was bounced around to so many foster homes, I thought anyone who didn't slap me around was 'Mother of the year'.
Jill : Oh my God.
Bonnie : The one thing I do know is if you had that baby, you would've loved it like crazy, and that's all that matters.
