- Harry Ambrose: [to Detective Farmer] What's this about you offering a deal to Cora Tannetti? Seems a little early, doesn't it to try to pin the Jane Doe on her? We don't have a cause of death yet.
- Detective Farmer: It's not early if I get her confession.
- Harry Ambrose: That sounds like coercion.
- Detective Farmer: You know, I wasn't gonna say anything, but I wonder if maybe you're a little too close on this.
- Harry Ambrose: Too close?
- Detective Farmer: Secret meetings in back of County. You do that with all your defendants or just the ones that look like Cora Tannetti?
- J.D.: [to Cora] There's this thing you have in your eyes. I can just see it when I look at you. You have this spirit. It's not like anyone else. You're a force, you realize that? You could be anything you want. You should be asking for the world.
- Detective Farmer: [to Cora] You know what? If I were you, I would be thinking of Laine. Twenty years, that's a long time, but it is not forever. He'll be what? He'll be 23, 24 when you get out on parole. You wanna see him graduate from college, don't you?
- Cora Tannetti: Yeah.
- Detective Farmer: Tell me what happened, and all of this'll be over.
- Cora Tannetti: Go to hell.
- Adult Phoebe (19): You know I'd be lost without you. Dead already.
- Cora Tannetti: Stop it.
- Adult Phoebe (19): It's true. You're the only reason this is worth it.
- Lorna Tannetti: [to Mason] You know, your father and I have been talking, and we think it's a good idea if maybe we left town. For... for Laine's sake and for yours.
- Mason Tannetti: What are you talking about?
- Lorna Tannetti: She's killing our business, Mason. We've lost five accounts already. Our friends aren't even calling us.
- Mason Tannetti: I'm not going anywhere. Neither is Laine. Can you just please go inside before I lose it?
- Adult Phoebe (19): [to Cora] See the ring? He's married, that's why he wants to meet up somewhere discreet. Thousand bucks just to meet up no strings attached.
- Cora Tannetti: He looks creepy.
- Adult Phoebe (19): So? Get some money up front. If you don't like him, walk away. And if you do like him, we got ourselves a sugar daddy, Cora. Cora, come on, please? We're so close. I can't take it here much longer.
- Cora's Cellmate: [to Cora] Let me tell you something. I used to wake up every day, bang meth in my arm and decide which old lady's identity to steal. I didn't give a shit about anyone. But once everything I had was gone, that's when I could hear His voice, right there, in my ear.
- Cora Tannetti: What did he say?
- Cora's Cellmate: He said stop beating yourself up. Confess your sins. Surrender.
- Detective Farmer: Cora, you were in love with JD. You were obsessed with him and he used you, didn't he? That's okay. I know how it feels. These men, they just screw you and toss you aside. JD left you and he went back to his real girlfriend, Maddie. You had every right to be angry. I know I would be. He was your first real boyfriend, wasn't he? You would have done anything for him. Guilt is a brutal thing. It chews people up. I see it all the time and I can see it in you.
