Quotes[]

Adam: Oh, yay, lobster and caviar for breakfast!... Oh, wow, Amanda for breakfast.

Cristal: I'm here to renegotiate.
Sonya: You can't renegotiate just because you didn't like the terms.
Cristal: That was Blake's deal. I'm here to make my own. With you. Woman to woman.
Sonya: I don't feel incentivized. Although, we could play a game for it.
Cristal: This isn't a game. It's my business. And I know your company is the only one that can do this for us in time. But I expect you to do it for a fair price. In exchange, you'll get first bidding rights on all future projects. PPA is just one small piece of the Flores empire.
Sonya: I'm surprised to see this side of you, Cristal. I thought of you more as a backseat driver.
Cristal: Oh, I'm in the front seat, Sonya. I'm the one who brought the power and money to the merger with PPA. So, are you ready to make a deal with me?

Liam: The movie is wrapped and I am ready to celebrate this milestone with the love of my life. I feel like I haven't seen you in forever. Where have you been all day?
Fallon: Well... it's kind of a long story. And then, I went to the doctor, and... then I was just walking.
Liam: Is everything okay?
Fallon: Well, I have to tell you something. I was just at the OBGYN and... I'm not pregnant. I really thought that I was, and the test said that I was, but... my doctor told me it was just a false positive.
Liam: Fallon... Hey, I'm sorry. It's okay. We'll just... We'll keep trying and it will happen.
Fallon: Yeah, well... That's the thing. No. It won't happen. My doctor... he said that because of the scar tissue from where I got shot... I won't be able to carry a baby. Ever.
