Quotes 

• Kitty Patton : Shane's always been a catch. He's had so many girls just throw themselves at him over the years, but he chose you. And he seems happy. You make him very happy.

  Rachel Patton : He makes me happy.

  Kitty Patton : That's good.

  Rachel Patton : It is.

  Kitty Patton : He says, though, you haven't been very happy on the trip.

  Rachel Patton : He said that?

  Kitty Patton : He did. He just said you're having a little bit of an identity crisis. It's not a big deal. And of course, it makes sense. You know, when I married Don, I had my own money, my family money, and that gave me a, you know, a little more power in the relationship. No marriage is perfectly symmetrical, you know? One person might have more money, or is better looking, the other could have the bigger career, or maybe one has more friends or cachet. Do you know what I'm saying?

  Rachel Patton : Not really.

  Kitty Patton : I'm just saying you shouldn't feel insecure. A lot of great girls came and went, but you won. And there's a reason you're here and all those other girls are out of the picture, you know? So I just think you should feel great.

  Rachel Patton : Yeah, but what is the reason? Like, why am I here? What do you mean?

  Kitty Patton : Well, you're very magnetic, and you're so beautiful.

  Rachel Patton : You're making me sound like a trophy wife.

  Kitty Patton : Well, what's so wrong with that? A trophy shines. It's a source of pride. A trophy's made of gold. You know, it's not the worst.

  Rachel Patton : Yeah, but that's not what I wanna be.

  Kitty Patton : The most important thing is, Rachel, you make him happy. That's your secret power. So just keep making him happy. I know you will.

• Kitty Patton : There was always something a little off with the Cutlers.

  Shane Patton : Yeah.

  Kitty Patton : They were always trying a little too hard, you know?

  Shane Patton : It's a family we knew from the Bay Club. The kid's our age. His life's a total disaster.

  Kitty Patton : You know, I knew they had money, but I could never figure out what the father did, Gavin.

  Shane Patton : Hmm.

  Kitty Patton : Then one day, I'm at the bookstore and I see a book written by Gavin Cutler.

  Shane Patton : What?

  Kitty Patton : Turns out he's a writer of crime fiction. Isn't that insane?

  Shane Patton : You gotta be kidding me.

  Kitty Patton : Everybody's got to make their money somehow.
