Quotes 

• Mildred : Love, I have found, is temporary. It's stupid, but it's like a weed. You know, if it's there you don't have to pay that much attention to it, it just grows, with just a little bit of water. But if you really try, you can kill it. It doesn't have a home, you know, it's tragic. If it's not wanted, it'll just move on.

• Mildred : Right here in this life, you get reincarnated. You change.

• Mildred : You're not an adult. An adult is someone who works and takes care of themselves.

• Mildred : That's what Thanksgiving is all about - meeting friends and eating a lot.

  Mildred 'Millie' Hawks : Mmm hmm. Yes.

  Jake 'J.J.' Warren : That was fun, I liked that.

  Mildred 'Millie' Hawks : Me too.
