Deirdre Burroughs: I'm unhappy.
Norman Burroughs: I'm unhappy.
Dr. Finch: Norman. If you're so unhappy, why stay in this marriage?
Norman Burroughs: I don't know why. My son.
Dr. Finch: I don't think that's why you stay, Norman. I think you stay because it's comfortable. It's what you know. You were trapped in your childhood by a castrating mother and as an adult male you have sought the same female archetype.
Deirdre Burroughs: [nodding] Well, that's - just - brilliant... and very true.

Augusten Burroughs: And you don't know what it's like to have a boyfriend that's just USING you.
Natalie: Lucky me.
