Pamela Abbott Look, Alice is the good daughter, Eleanor's the bad one, and I'm the one that sort of gets off the hook. It's just the way it works.

Scenes with Pamela Abbott
6 scenes Pamela Abbott Pamela Abbott Stop treating me like an Abbott!
How the hell am I supposed to treat you?
Pamela Abbott Like you used to; like just plain Pam. And you don't have to say that you're sorry! And don't look at me as though someone just ran over you dog! It's make me want to scream sometimes.
Either your mad at me because you're mad at me or you're mad at me because you like me, because that's how girls act. I mean... I don't know much but I know that. So, uh, which is it?
Pamela Abbott Both.
Pamela Abbott Look, I'm not rich. My father is. And I didn't pick my father. And if I had a choice between having tons of money and having another father, I'd be absolutely delighted to be poor. But unfortunately, life is just not a cafeteria.
Life is not a cafeteria?
Pamela Abbott You know what I mean.
Pamela Abbott How can you ever forgive me?
You always love me no matter what I did, right?
Pamela Abbott Yeah.
Maybe that's how I love you. No matter what. It's the best kind of love, you know?
Pamela Abbott You don't know my father, you don't know how he is about Jacey. He blames him for everything that happened with Eleanor.
Look, Eleanor flirts with a lot of guys. It's not Jacey's fault you dad kicked her out.
Pamela Abbott He didn't kick her out, he sent her off to some goddamned nuthouse. He just up and shipped her off to some clinic; she was consigned.
Wait, I thought you said that she's in Chicago.
Pamela Abbott Well, she is now, they let her out like a month ago.
