"The other night she came home in a cab..." "Her car broke down." "But she was walking and she was talking kind of stiff, like when you're trying to act like you're not drunk." "And I know that things have been really stressful lately for her, with her hands and looking for a job and the whole Angelo and Lana thing."

" Nobody knows better than I do the toll these campaigns can take on a family." "Just ask my ex-husband." "Mmm." "Maybe this was our kids' way of getting our attention." "Mm-hmm." "Well, parenting almost makes the campaign look easy, huh?" "Of course once I win, you'll have plenty of time to work on your father-son relationship." "See you around."

"You know, since you guys have met up again after all these years?" ""All these years"?" "You make it sound like a lifetime." "No, it kind of was." "We were both married, had kids." "I guess what surprised me the most was how little she changed." " Regina:" "Aw." " Nice one." "Really?" "She hasn't changed?" "Well, other than being older and wiser and a lot more sensible."

"They enter the cafeteria for lunch, they'll look around, see... 20 different conversations, none of which they can be a part of." "But here they're free, not to be 'the deaf kid, '" "but to be themselves." "That's what I'm fighting for."

"No." "No." "Do you need a ride home or something?" "No, it's okay." "Uh, thanks." ""You say that the deaf students will just 'adjust, ' but what you mean is they'll just get used to second-class status."" "We realize that this is not an ideal situation." ""You are compromising the quality of their education."" "Have any of you ever actually been to Carlton?" "We've been to every district school, and I'm sorry but we're not opening the floor to anyone who's not on our agenda." "You're making a decision that affects over 100 deaf students, and you don't have time to listen to one of them?" "Step forward." "Carlton is the one place in the world where having ears that don't work doesn't matter." "It's not just a school to us, it's our home." "And by letting more hearing kids in, you're saying it's okay to invade our home." "But it's not." "Okay." "Honey, in a perfect world, we'd have money for deaf schools and organic lunches and state-of-the-art computer labs in all our schools." "But we don't." "We're stretched incredibly thin these days."

"I saw." "After rehearsal." "I know that you don't understand..." "No, I don't." "I'll be at rehearsal tomorrow." "Great." "At least your dad didn't tell you that you couldn't see me." "My mom grounded me... allegedly." "We see how well that's working out." " Hey, how much was all this?" " No, please, don't worry about it." " No, come on, please." " I put it on my mom's card." "It's fine, stop." "It's on the house..." "Patricia Sawyer's house that is." "Are you saving up for all your travels and stuff or..." "If by "saving up" you mean "the occasional A.T.M. withdrawal because my mom hasn't changed her pin since 2004," then yes." "Yes." "What?" "Don't... come on." "Don't give me that look." "I've seen your house." "Don't pretend like you don't also dip into the well," " if you know what I mean." " Well, I mean, I've... definitely done my fair share of stupid stuff, but, you know," "I've never taken from them." "It's just compensation for emotional abuse." "I'm sorry I missed rehearsal yesterday." "Yeah, I heard about the meeting." "Is everything okay?" "I don't know." "The school board's voting today for what happens next year." "Hmm, whether I stay or go." "It's okay." "I get it, you know." "You don't want the Replicants taking over." "Hey, check me out." " What?" " Look." "Mmm, did you get a new haircut?"

"I feel like my eyes are gonna pop out." "I spent all afternoon online, looking at want ads and filling out job applications." "Thanks." "I was thinking that maybe I should..." "Are you sure you want that?" "Why?" "Look, Bay came by this afternoon, and she said, you know, you and alcohol... you're not supposed to be drinking." "Look, Regina, I am not judging you." "I love hanging out with you, but I don't want to mess things up and be a bad influence." "You... you are not messing anything up." "Th... this is just a misunderstanding." "I'll call you later." " Reggie..." " I'm good." "What the hell did you think you were doing?" " Sneaking into the jazz club..." " I wasn't sneaking." "Talking to Zane behind my back?" "Telling him I'm a drunk?" " I didn't tell him that." " Why didn't you come to me?" " Because I wasn't sure so..." " So you decided to ruin the one bright spot in my otherwise crappy life right now?" " I was just trying to help." " Help?" "Who the hell do you think you are?" "You don't know me." " I'm sorry, Regina..." " Who else did you tell?" " Daphne?" "Your parents?" " No." " Did you call my mom in Puerto Rico?" " No." "Stay out of my business, okay?" "You stay out of it." "You made it." "Sorry I'm late." "We were waiting to hear the school board's vote." "Daphne, I know you're upset, but I really don't think that adding more hearing kids to the school is gonna be so horrible." "Really." "They're not expanding the hearing program." " They're not?" " No." "They're closing Carlton." "What do you mean they're closing it?" "The school board voted to sell the property and shut down Carlton for good." "They're going to separate us" " and send us to different schools next year." " Oh no." "I'm so sorry, honey." "I'm sorry." "Go away." " Bay?" " I said go away." "You told me to stay out of your life." "Why don't you try staying out of mine?" "Bay, I am so sorry." "And I am so touched that you wanted to help me." "Well, you should have a sit down with an-hour-ago-Regina, because she seemed pretty pissed." "I was busy seeing myself as a victim, so I would have an excuse... to keep drinking." "So you are drinking again?" "Yes." "And it's embarrassing and humiliating" " and I took it all out on you." " Why?" "I'm on your side." "Ever since we moved in," "I have had to depend on other people." "Your mom got me the job at Geraldo's," "Angelo was going to finance the salon and now when I talk to Daphne" "I feel like I need an interpreter." "And drinking makes that all a little easier." "At least for a little while." "And then you sober up, and you hate yourself for doing it, so you want to feel okay again." " So..." " You drink again." "Pretty much." "So what happens now?" "I get myself to the next meeting I can find." "And I call my sponsor and I start working the program again, one day at a time." "Well, is there anything I can do to help you?" "Try to forgive me?" "I can do that." "Thank you." "Is, uh... there any way that we could keep this between us?" "I don't want to worry Daphne, and if John and Kathryn found out..." "I won't say anything." "Thank you." "This is done, Bay." "You have my word." "I was beginning to think you weren't gonna come." "I almost didn't." "I'm not sure that this is a good idea." "I am." "I meant what I said on Valentine's Day." "We're just too different." "That's why I didn't text you back." "I meant what I said on Valentine's day, too." "I've never told anybody "I love you" before." "You make me want to be a better person," " someone that you deserve to be with." " Toby..." "And you were the one who said that having faith isn't easy." "It's believing in something even when reason tells you not to, right?" "Right." "Well, I have faith in us." "And, I think you should too." "I've really missed you." "Louise, hi, it's Regina." "I found a meeting at 9:00 tomorrow, but if you could call me back tonight," "I'd really appreciate it." "I'd really like someone to talk to." "If you want to listen to your message, press one." "If you want to delete it, press two." "If you're ready to send it, just hang up." "You have chosen to delete your message." "Thank you and goodbye."
