Mom (Sarah Braverman, Lauren Graham):
Do you ever worry so much about something bad happening to me that you stomped out my fire by accident?
We all try to protect our kids. It's what we do, then they grow up and we can't protect them anymore.
And you'd save yourself a lot of grief if you'd accept that fact. I mean, we can be there for them, but you can't protect them. I think it's one of the toughest things about being a parent.
Sarah Braverman to her daughter, Amber:
When you have kids, if you have kids, there's something you should know --very confusing thing that they don't tell you.
You see so much of yourself in them, you see your ironic take on the world, you see your smile, your walk, your sense of humor, whatever..
And you think they're you.
But they're not you.
And they shouldn't have all of your baggage, your fear, and your insecurity, and your life experience and that's not fair, they have their own.
