6 quotes John John Abby, you and Harper have a perfect relationship. Why do you want to ruin that by engaging in one of the most archaic institutions in the history of the human race?
John Way to stick it to the patriarchy. Really well done.
John So her parents think that their straight daughter brought home her lesbian friend for Christmas?
John Have they ever met a lesbian?
John Everybody's story is different. Just because Harper isn't ready doesn't mean she never will be, and it doesn't mean she doesn't love you.

What are you doing on your phone?
John I'm sorry, I left a gentleman alone in my apartment so I'm tracking him to make sure he leaves.
You're tracking him?
John Yeah, I track everybody. If the NSA can do it, so can I.
My parents loved Christmas. We would do all the stuff. We would decorate and do the tree and watch, like, every Christmas movie. After they died, I couldn't really bring myself to acknowledge Christmas.
John Hmm.
The holidays were just a huge reminder of them not being here. So I really thought maybe this year with Harper and meeting her family, you know, that it would just feel different. I don't think that she loves me as much as I thought she did.
John Hey, Harper not coming out to her parents has nothing to do with you.
How could it not?
John Remind me, what did your parents say when you told them you were gay?
Um, that they loved and supported me.
John That's amazing! My dad kicked me out of the house and didn't talk to me for 13 years after I told him. Everybody's story is different. There's your version and my version, and everything in between. But the one thing all of those stories have in common is that moment right before you say those words. When your heart is racing and you don't know what's coming next. That moment's really terrifying! And once you say those words, you can't un-say them. A chapter has ended, and a new one's begun. You have to be ready for that. You can't do it for anyone else. Just because Harper isn't ready doesn't mean she never will be, and it doesn't mean she doesn't love you.
