"Ma'am, we have to go now if you want to catch Kent for a hostages meeting." "Okay, listen, I will not have you undermine me with Catherine." " Will you be wanting a clutch?" " I will." " Okay." " I will not." " Oh, you don't?" " No, no, I will." "I want the bag." "No, I want Catherine to spend Thanksgiving with me, not some random boyfriend." "And what about poor Memaw, who's guaranteed to be dead by March?" "( quietly ) With any luck." "Well, congratulations." "You have successfully learned how to manipulate Catherine." "How is that insulting to her?" "God, you just turn it all around-- okay." " Just hanging up on him." " Shall we go?" " Yeah, let's just get out." " There's some Advil in the bag." "Yeah, I hope we have a number for a contract killer, too." "( laughs ) I'll do it." "Nice wheels, Mike." "This new?" "Not quite." "Like your mother, it's been previously loved and paid for by a couple of guys." "I guess this means you cleared your debts, huh?" "No, I've added this to my debt." "Oh, the old "drink your way out of alcoholism" approach." " I like it." " No, this isn't like when I drank." "You had a drinking problem?" "Not a problem." "Uh, an issue." "Not even an issue." "A hitch." "You had a drinking hitch?" "Dan, I owe 100 grand." "Nothing I can do will change that." "So, I've accepted what I cannot change." "A few extra grand doesn't matter."

"That would be me, ma'am." "Okay, so they want me to go to a pig roast to meet a bunch of men who probably took turns to fuck the pig before they roasted it?" "I wouldn't presume they took turns." "Let me tell you something." "I'm going to that 4:30 meeting even if I have to get Sue to fly around the world the wrong way like Superman and reverse time." " Do you understand that?" " Yes, ma'am."
