Joy
- Joy: Don't ever think that the world owes you anything, because it doesn't. The world doesn't owe you a thing.
- Joy: [after Peggy attended her meeting without consent] Never speak, on my behalf, about my business, again.
- Cristy 5 Years Old: Mimi said that you were the one born to help carry us on to success.
- Joy: No, Christie, Mimi was wrong. The world does not *give* you opportunities, the world destroys the opportunities. It breaks the heart. I should have listened to my mother, when I was 10 years old. I should have spent the rest of my life watching TV and hiding from the world like my mother. So I don't want to hear anymore about Mimi. She was wrong, she had her head in the clouds, and it was full of stupid ideas, and it gave me stupid ideas. But this?
- [picks up a mop]
- Joy: This stupid, stupid idea!
- [throws the mop down]
- Neil Walker: Here we are.
- Joy: Here we are. Adversaries in commerce.
- Neil Walker: Adversaries in commerce. And friends.
- Joy: Yes, and friends.
- Neil Walker: I'm gonna tell you somethin', but you didn't hear it from me.
- Joy: I don't know *who* you are or *what* you're talkin' about.
- Neil Walker: That's what I wanted to hear.
- Trudy: You are in a room and there is a gun on the table, and the only other person in the room is an adversary in commerce. Only one of you can prevail. Yet, you have protected your business and Maurice's money. Do you pick up the gun, Joy?
- Joy: That's a very strange question.
- Trudy: There is nothing strange about this question at all. This is money. Do you pick up the gun?
- Joy: I pick up the gun.
- Trudy: Good. I'm going to remember that you said that... when I speak to my lawyer.
- Neil Walker: I guess you could say we're friends in the commerce.
- Joy: Friends in commerce. Yeah.
- Neil Walker: So, let's promise each other, that if one day, and that day may come, that we become adversaries in commerce, that we remain friends. That's a true friendship, indeed.
- Joy: Friends in commerce. I agree, let's shake on it.
- Sharon: [at the front door] He's damaged, he has no place else to go. He's been livin' in my house for two years.
- Joy: Oh, Dad, I'm so sorry.
- Rudy: Yeah...
- Joy: But, ya know, Tony's livin' in the basement.
- Rudy: Your ex-husband shouldn't be livin' in your basement, that's not the proper way to be divorced.
