Miranda: I do things for reasons. Mom would understand.

Miranda: You better still offer me the research position when you sober up, because I will be great at it. You don’t even know.
Cohen: Yeah . . . I probably don’t.

Reseda (offscreen): Aren’t you about to turn off the lights and go to bed?
Sparrow: Just because things aren’t ideal doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate progress.
