- Athena Grant: I got married because my biological clock was ticking. I stayed married for the kids. I'm getting divorced for myself.
- Henrietta 'Hen' Wilson: You had me, Eva. You had me. I loved you. I would've done anything for you. That wasn't enough. I wasn't enough. See, you have this fantasy of us playing house, as if I hadn't already lived through that. I know how it goes. I know how it goes. It's me trying over and over and over to build a life for us, and you tearing it down brick by brick by brick until I'm left alone, heartbroken, in a hole that I don't even know how to climb out of. I survived you, Eva. And I'm sure as hell not gonna let you put Denny through this.
- Abby Clark: People are resilient. I think we're designed that way. It's embedded in our DNA to forge ahead, soldier on. It's a whole lot easier to do with an army at your back.
