Quotes 

• Christy : [hugs Bonnie]  Mom, I'm so glad you're here, I was so scared.

  Bonnie : Did you gamble?

  Christy : No.

  Bonnie : I believe you, where's the money?

  Christy : I locked it in the trunk, it was talking to me.

  Bonnie : Not to say that I don't believe you, but I'm going to check to see if you're lying.

  Christy : I'm sorry about what I said earlier, I know you were just worried. The truth is... I do have a gambling problem, but only when I have money... and since I so rarely have money, I thought I had it under control.

  Bonnie : [exhales]  Man, if we were rich we'd both be dead.

• Marjorie Armstrong : [about Christy's controlled gambling]  I have suggested to a few newcomers that they experiment with controlled drinking.

  Bonnie : Why didn't you ever tell me about that?

  Marjorie Armstrong : You showed up to your first meeting on a stolen lawnmower.

  Bonnie : Oh you weren't even there.

  Jill Kendall : She didn't have to be, that story is legendary.

  Wendy Harris : Yeah, is it true you weren't wearing anything except go-go boots and a hockey jersey?

  Bonnie : [defensively]  That's right, I got kicked out of a hockey game and couldn't find my car or my pants, what was I supposed to do?

• Bonnie : I don't think you driving is a good idea.

  Mr. Munson : I know it's not a good idea, it's just that cancer has taken control over everything. I'd just like to be in control of something for a couple minutes, even if it is just a beat up Firebird.

  [Bonnie thinks, cuts to Mr. Munson driving her car] 

  Bonnie : Light pole dead ahead!

  [Mr. Munson wildly circles the parking lot] 

  Mr. Munson : What is this, a V-8?

  Bonnie : A V-6, please slow down!

• Jill Kendall : Bonnie, I think somebody's stealing your car.

  Bonnie : Dammit, Mr. Munson!
