William: "Jamie, I also want to say, never have sex with just the vagina, you have to have sex with the whole woman."

"So, sweetie, I don't know if we ever figure our lives out, and the people who help you, they might not be who you thought or wanted. They might just be the people who show up."
[to Jamie]

Julie: "What about you? It's always about the mother."
Dorothea Fields: "Okay, Jesus. Uh, yeah."

"You get to see him out in the world as a person. I never will."
[to Abbie]

"Having a kid seems like the hardest thing. How much you love the kid, you're just pretty much screwed."
[to Abbie]

Dorothea Fields: "Men always feel like they have to fix things for women when they're not doing anything. Just be there, somehow that's hard for all of you."
Jamie: "Mom, I'm not all men. Okay, I'm just me."
Dorothea Fields: "Well, yes and no."

Jamie: "You just feel guilty because it's just you."
Dorothea Fields: "You don't know what I'm feeling."

Jamie: "Do you think you're happy?"
Dorothea Fields: "Seriously? Look, wondering if you're happy, it's a great shortcut to just being depressed."
