Quotes from Zero Tolerance

Amy: What makes you think he can hear you?
Maxine: What makes you think he can't?
Amy: Ma's still smoking.

Tanya: Why are you avoiding the man? Why don't you just break up with him and let somebody have him?
Maxine: I don't want to break up with him, I want to... avoid him. I'm tired, I've got a lot on my mind. He's always so cheerful and supportive.
Tanya: Yeah, that does tend to grate.

Maxine: God, she's awful.
Vincent: She drinks.
Maxine: She does?
Vincent: Vodka in her Diet Snapple.
Maxine: Well, that makes me like her a little better.

Lauren: How come you teach babies to burp and then you tell kids not to burp?

Amy: Hey, in the mood for company?
Vincent: Oh, thank God, I was seconds away from ordering a Butt-Master.

Amy: Oh, I know the whole accident was my fault.

Vincent: Yeah, yeah, let's work on that.

Vincent: It's not that I like being a patient. I don't. But in here, everything's so simple. Clear parameters. You can't think big anymore so you think small and then suddenly everything seems important... the cracks in the wall, the way the curtain moves, the pink light on the white floor. There's no such thing as an insignificant moment. It's all a gift. I don't want to lose that.
