- Billie Frank: The first picture of me in my family album, I'm two days old and my mother's breast-feeding the doctor.
- Dave: Billie, this'll be hard but I need you to think of someone other than yourself for a moment...
- Billie: Mother, I'm in A.A. for real. I go every day. It's not a hobby, it's not a place to pick up guys - most of the time. I'm struggling with sobriety. You haven't even *met* sobriety.
- Billie Frank: How do I know you don't badmouth me to your friends when I'm not there?
- Trudy Frank: Because, darling, when you're not here I forget all about you.
