Some great moments:
"No, I usually obsess about chocolate, can I please have that?"
"For a fleeting second there, I had a feeling that Nixon was misunderstood."
"You always take me to the nicest places."
""Well I don't have any more right now. I mean what do you guys think, you just push a button and all these answers are gonna come out of me, I mean..."
"You know you're only doing that to make me feel guilty. I mean, you've got this perfect body, you're, you're skinny as a rail and yet every morning you come out here and punish yourself."
"But I do know one thing. And that is a life lived in fear and anger isn't really a life at all. Don't keep Harold Mitchell alive. He's the one in prison, not you."
"Of course you do. You're a woman."
