  Peggy : If you all didn't think I was crazy, I'm sure you will now. How do I explain the things I've said and done? How do I explain the person I've become? I know I've disappointed everyone and I'm sorry for that. I wish I was a more articulate person. I believe life is magical. It is so precious. And there are so many kinds of life in this life. So many things to love. The love for a husband or a wife, a boyfriend or girlfriend. The love for children. The love for yourself. And even material things. This is my love. It is mine. And it fills me and defines me. And it compels me on.

• Peggy : I've always been disappointed by people. I've really only been able to count on my pets. I know it's pathetic, but...

  Newt : Hey, it's not pathetic.

  Peggy : But it's enough. It was enough last month and last week, and it'll be enough next week.

• Peggy : So you were saying you had a dog who died when you were young?

  Al : Tessie. I loved that dog. I had her since she was a puppy. We did everything together. She was my right-hand bitch... sorry, I mean in the dog way of being a bitch. Yeah, she died way too young. She was only six.

  Peggy : Oh.

  Al : Yeah.

  Peggy : How did she die?

  Al : I shot her in Wyoming. You want some more wine?

• Peggy : I've always been disappointed by people. So... I've really only been able to count on my pets. I know it's pathetic, but...

  Newt : Hey, it's not pathetic.

  Peggy : ...but it's enough. It was enough last month and last week and it'll be enough next week, and... because of you, I've really been able to, acknowledge that part of my life in a deeper way, so... so thank you. And this just, you know, confirms what I already know, so...

• Peggy : So, Layla says you don't want to get a dog - doesn't fit into your lifestyle.

  Don : I'm never home.

  Peggy : Well, I think you should get a dog.

  Don : Yeah?

  Peggy : Yeah. It teaches responsibility.

  Don : Well, maybe I don't want to be responsible.

  Peggy : Might keep you out of trouble.

  Don : Yeah, how's that?

  Peggy : I don't know. You're getting married... you could... you know, like go home and walk the dog instead of, I don't know... going to the mall and meeting other women - at Victoria's Secret, say?

• Al : So, you ever been married?

  Peggy : No. No... That I mean that I never, you know I guess I never... that... that... that never happened. But I think some people just aren't as... you know... I don't know. It's like that, I guess.

• Peggy : It's nice to have a word that can describe you. I've never had that before.
