Your mum and I, we're going to separate. I've got you Tuesday, Wednesday and every other Thursday.

And what about the cat?

Joan

Shit! The cat!

We didn't discuss the cat.

Joan, let me ask you something. All that work I did at the end of our marriage, making dinners, cleaning up, being more attentive. It never was going to make a difference, was it? You were leaving no matter what...

Joan

You never made a dinner.

I made burgers that time you had pneumonia.

How do you know they were both Frank's?

Ms. Lemon

Well, I suppose it's possible other kids are masturbating and spreading their semen around the school as well... It's possible, but, uh, somewhat unlikely.

Oh, it happens, I'm sure, much more than we know.

Joan

Bernard, have you ever done anything like this?

I'm not going to answer that.

Joan

You're living with a twenty-year-old.

It's none of your business, Joan.

Joan

It's my business when you have our kids! It's confusing for them. Frank says Walt's in love with her.

Walt has a girlfriend. **** off, Joan. I don't ask about you and Ivan. Stay out of my life. I can't believe you'd talk to me like this. You left all those **** ticket stubs and letters lying around! You wanted me to know. It was **** torture, Joan! **** TORTURE!
