Helen Girardi : Kevin! Luke! Dinner!
Will Girardi : No Joan?

Will Girardi : Nothing would surprise me.

Will Girardi : What you reading?
[Helen shows him "On Death and Dying"]
Will Girardi : Why?
Helen Girardi : Because... for me, sometimes, it's like... Kevin died, and I need to deal with that.
Will Girardi : Helen...
Helen Girardi : I know. I'm the one... who's always preaching... gratitude and moving on, and I was clinging to that so hard, and then it... it stopped working for me. I felt alone, and... I, um... I talked to a priest. I didn't want to bother you.
Will Girardi : That was the deal we made a long time ago. You get to bother me. You don't have to do anything alone.
Helen Girardi : I'm sorry I lied to you about the priest. That's... who I met on my lunch break.
Will Girardi : You come to me, not some stranger. Promise me.
