"Who won't be going home with the manet this evening, but with the treasured van gogh that hangs in my living room." "But I thought the van gogh was a gift from Lydia and Michael." "Have Ms. Davis escorted off the boat." "And in related news," "Lydia has asked me to announce that the beach house she shared with her husband is officially on the market." "Ms. Davis..." "I'm afraid this will be her final weekend in the Hamptons." "So call your realtors, ladies and gentlemen, because this one's going to go fast." "And, Lydia..." "Wherever you end up," "I hope that the van gogh is a constant reminder of the friendship we shared." "Get your hands off my daughter!" "I want that kid outta here." "Now!" "Give her to social services!" "Daddy!" "Amanda!" "Settle down!" "Where are you taking her?" "!" "No!" "Daddy!" "Amanda!" "No!" "She's really something, isn't she?" "My mother." "She sure is."

"One, and the whole world just revolves around him." "One more?" "Drink or joke?" "Either." "Both." "Mm." "Neither." "I am just buzzed enough to find that last joke funny." "One more, and I might think that you meant it." "But don't let me stop you." "Oh, no, no." "I've had about all the club soda I can take." "You don't drink?" "Used to..." "Epically." "Hmm." "I gotta admit, it's... it's nice meeting someone who never knew the old me." "Yeah." "I know the feeling." "♪" "Double infinity." "♪" "Something like that." "That's a long time." "Daniel..."

"Maybe next time." "Till next time." "♪" "You didn't have to exile her." "What you did was cruel." "Oh, what I did was cruel?" "You could have had anyone, and you knew she was my closest friend." "It was never meant to be an affair." "Oh, it just happened?" "Are you physically incapable of taking responsibility for your actions?" "There is a problem we seem to share." "If you'll remember, I gave up everything once to prove how much I love you." "I returned the favor." "I helped you destroy a man." "Oh, no, no, no." "That was your idea, not mine." "You did what you did to save yourself as much as me." "A compromise I'm reminded of every day." "You got plenty in the bargain." "Oh..." "These guys really put the "suck" in seersucker." "Want to bump it up a notch?" "What a waste of humanity." "Oh, my God." "I'm so sorry." "God, I'm such an idiot." "No, don't worry about it." "With whom do I have the pleasure of speaking?" "Hey." "It's, uh..." "It's Jack Porter." "Listen, if you still want to buy my boat, bring a check down to the docks first thing in the morning." "Okay?" "There's nothing I'd like to do more." "All right." "See you then." "♪" "Welcome home, Amanda." "I nearly didn't recognize you today, but that's the whole point, isn't it?" "Oh!" "Ugh!" "Uhh!" "Do you know how easy it would be for me to crush your windpipe?" "I don't think your father would approve." "Amanda..." "Oh..." "Your father trusted me." "My father trusted everybody." "Ugh!" "What are you doing here, Nolan?" "Don't worry." "Don't worry." "Your secret's safe." "No one wants this imperious cadre of toxic phonies to eat it more than yours truly." "So how can I be of service?" "You can't." "You're not a part of this." "Yes, I am." "Remember, I witnessed firsthand what these people did to your father." "They're hard-core." "I can handle them." "And I have no problem taking you down, too, if you get in my way." "I-I don't want to get in your way." "I want to help you." "You can't help me, Nolan." "Suit yourself."
