1 " POPPY (standing up to Paul): He fits me, and I don’t want to change. Not for you or anyone. I’m deeply in love with myself, and Emmett respects that...“I’m not her (Christine). I don’t have a dream to fix animal boo-boos. Loving Emmett and living close to my family are the only dreams I see as worth having. "

2 " POPPY (standing up to Paul): I see family life as invading everyone’s privacy and saying whatever I feel and treating everyone as they’re treasured because they’re my family and thus special as compared to the rest of the world. I see a good family as loud and frantic and intrusive. "
3 " POPPY: 25 December 2016 POPPY (standing up to Paul): You see family life as respecting boundaries and saying what makes people happy and treating everyone like they’re treasured but only in a sanitized way. I see family life as invading everyone’s privacy and saying whatever I feel and treating everyone as they’re treasured because they’re my family and thus special as compared to the rest of the world. I see a good family as loud and frantic and intrusive...He fits me, and I don’t want to change. Not for you or anyone. I’m deeply in love with myself, and Emmett respects that...“I’m not her (Christine). I don’t have a dream to fix animal boo-boos. Loving Emmett and living close to my family are the only dreams I see as worth having. "
4 " POPPY: Another man might have pressured me to change, mature, maybe even shut up occasionally. Emmett finds me perfect the way I am. "
5 " EMMETT (on being a 'mama's boy'): Poppy teases me for being a mama’s boy. She ain’t wrong, but my ma’s worth acting stupid over. She raised me in a rough world without losing her ability to be tender. "
6 " POPPY: Justice is so pathetic about her man. If her behavior weren’t highly entertaining, we’d force her to stop. "
7 " POPPY: Not bad. I’d put you in the top three on my list of possible cherry poppers.EMMETT: No way. Unless your list is me, myself, and I, you’ve only got one name on that list. "
8 " POPPY (on high school cliques): I wasn’t smart enough for the gifted kids or athletic enough for the jocks. I didn’t want to s*ck a lot of c*ck, so I couldn’t be a cheerleader or popular girl. "
9 " POPPY (on her mother not breastfeeding her during infancy): If you had breastfed me, it might have increased my IQ, and I’d have a lot of pressure to succeed. My average IQ means I can simply coast through life, so thank you. "
10 " POPPY (on Christine and Jared's second chance): Mom couldn’t stand up for what she needed, and he was a force of nature. They’ve found a balance now, but she needed to grow up before that could happen. "
11 " POPPY (standing up to Paul): In time, Mom will realize I’m already the woman I’ll always be. I’m not her at eighteen, feeling my way through the world. I’ve figured out what I want and who I am. Mostly, I know exactly what I need to be happy, and they’re all in the house with me now. "
12 " POPPY (standing up to Paul): We’re different. You make appointments to see your family. You’re careful with what you say and do around people. You care about the opinions of strangers. None of that makes any fricking sense to me, but I respect your decisions to care about pointless crap. "
13 " POPPY: I don’t like him, Jared. I love him. "
14 " POPPY: Don’t just agree with me because it’s my birthday, and I’m special, and you feel inferior under the shadow of my specialness. "
15 " JOURNEY: If someone pulls out a dong, then I’m gone.JUSTICE: Rhymed. "
16 " POPPY (on her biological father): Though I might share his last name and chin, I’m all Earlham. "
