"My brother's totally macking on your girlfriend." "I'm not a big believer in this whole fantasy thing, but I at least wanted you to have a little bit of yours." "I'm lucky." "Except for the part where Henry's leaving me after his baby's born." "(crying )" "All by myself" "Don't wanna be" "All by myself anymore" "Anymore" "Oh, God...

"You can buy more tissues." "ALL:" "Hi." "Hilda, you're out of" "your puffy eye cream stuff, sorry." "Oh, don't worry, Aunt Betty. I'm on it." "HlLDA:" "Well, I hope you're hungry." "Because you're just in time for Eggs à la Hilda!" "What's Eggs à la Hilda?" "lt's scrambled eggs." "Papi, I don't want to hear it." "You're sick. I'm making breakfast." "Hilda, I'm not very hungry." "Amor, you've barely eaten since Henry went back to Tucson." "It's true, Aunt Betty." "You've been looking really skinny." "That's supposed to sound bad." "Guys, you're all being so sweet, but I do not want you worrying about me." "Okay?" "Henry and I agreed a clean break would be best." "You know, when I break up with a guy, I like to get a little bit scary, so he doesn't forget me." "All right Justin, come on, we gotta go." "I gotta get ready for the PTA thing this morning." "Since when are you on the PTA?" "Since she has a crush on my gym teacher." "What?" "Who?" "Tony?" "He's okay." "Why, did he say something?" "Do you think he likes me?" "What's not to like?" "Oh, my God, he's such a good..." "Such a good boy." "Here, have some Juice à la Hilda." "What's this?" "lt's juice." "Mi hija, you seem tired." "Can't you take a little time off work?"

"Unfortunately, that includes future children." "None of this makes any sense." "Bradford never wanted to have another child." "And now to have one with her?" "It's happening." "And until that kid turns 1 8," "Wilhelmina controls a third of this company." "So, that means..." "Wilhelmina is back." "Let's do this, bitch." "If she tries anything, call security."

"(CHUCKLES )" "Terror. lf there's one thing I know how to do, it's manipulate fear." "You are a horror movie I wish would never end." "I can't believe this is happening." "I've had nightmares about her coming back." "They usually end with her stabbing me with a stiletto and turning into a bat." "Daniel, keep it together." "How can I?" "She's been after my job since I started here." "Well, she's not gonna get it, so stop panting." "Wilhelmina has no creative input here whatsoever." "She's nothing more than a Chanel suit with an office." "Yes, but she's one third of this company." "And she's got the devil on her side." "But the devil doesn't get a vote."
