The Hottest State

William Harding:
It was Wednesday when we met, Saturday when I asked her to move in, and by Sunday there were flowers in my apartment and hummus in my refrigerator. I don't remember waking up that Sunday. I don't think I ever slept. I just sat there thinking, "God damn, this must be what praying is like."

Jesse:
[to her son in the diner] Take that gorgeous sexy body outside and move it!... and here, open your present!

Jesse:
[to William in the restaurant] A lot of bad sh*t is gonna happen to you. People are not gonna love you back, and if you're serious about becoming an artist, that's the first thing you should learn. And, listen, you're gonna die, okay? Relatively soon, okay? So, that being said, you have nothing to worry about.

Jesse:
[after giving her son new shoes for his birthday] You gotta lose those cowboy boots, William. I worked too hard to get us out of Texas for you to go around in those things.

Jesse:
[to William] Your whole life, people are gonna ask you to be weak. They're gonna practically beg you. But all anyone really wants is for you to be strong.

Vince:
[about Sarah] Did she ever love you?

William Harding:
I don't know. I think so.

Vince:
Don't do anything, just be cool, you know. Just wait, she'll call you.

William Harding:
She won't.

Vince:
Yes, she will.

William Harding:
No, she won't.

Vince:
Well then, f*** her, you know. People who give up on love aren't worth loving.
