Quotes 

• Olivia Mossbacher : Dad, what's wrong with you?

  Nicole Mossbacher : Your father got some very upsetting news last night.

  Olivia Mossbacher : He does have cancer?

  Nicole Mossbacher : No. He doesn't have cancer. He found out something about his father that he never knew before.

  Olivia Mossbacher : I'm listening.

  Nicole Mossbacher : Your grandfather died of AIDS.

  Paula : How did he get AIDS?

  Nicole Mossbacher : Apparently, Paula, he was having sex with other men.

  Quinn Mossbacher : Who was?

  Nicole Mossbacher : Your dad's dad.

  Quinn Mossbacher : Why?

  Olivia Mossbacher : Because he liked it. Why else? He was probably closeted.

  Paula : Or bisexual.

  Olivia Mossbacher : Dad, why are you so upset, though? You're like catatonic.

  Nicole Mossbacher : Well, it was a secret that was kept from him his entire life, Liv. So now, whatever image he had of his father, of his childhood, has been pulverized.

  Olivia Mossbacher : You know, he was probably a bottom. That's how you mostly get it. Receiving. Dad, do you feel like your father was less of a man or something?

  Paula : He might have not been gay. A lot of straight guys like ass-play.

  Olivia Mossbacher : Yeah! Maybe he was just too embarrassed to ask Grandma to use a dildo on him.

  Quinn Mossbacher : Oh, Jesus!

  Mark Mossbacher : Can we not, please? Uh...

  Olivia Mossbacher : Even if he wasn't a top, it doesn't mean he was femme. He could've still been butch, Dad.

  Paula : Maybe he was a bossy bottom.

  Olivia Mossbacher : Yeah, maybe Grandpa was a power bottom.

  [to her dad] 

  Olivia Mossbacher : Does that make you feel better?

  Mark Mossbacher : No. That makes me wanna throw up.

• Shane Patton : Hey.

  [Olivia and Paula look up from their books at Shane without saying anything] 

  Shane Patton : So, yesterday you were reading Freud and Nietzsche, and today you're reading what?

  [Olivia and Paula silently hold up their books-Camille Paglia and Frantz Fanon, respectively] 

  Shane Patton : Oh.

  [chuckles] 

  Shane Patton : So you finished Freud and Nietzsche. Are you actually reading any of these books?

  Olivia Mossbacher : No, they're just props.

  Paula : We have a stylist choose our outfits and then we have a book stylist pick out our books.
