-Oh, Jeff... I love you too...but… the cancer is back. I can't bear for you to watch me whittle away to nothing. You deserve a healthier partner, one you can eventually marry and grow old with.... Go find her, Jeff. She's out there waiting for you. Think of me as a dying butterfly... one you used to know-

-But Genevieve! What will become of our dreams of climbing to impossible heights where our love touches the stars? I…I know what this is about... This has nothing to do with the cancer. You're going back to him, aren't you?-

"Hey, mom! Can I borrow ten-"

"Shhh Shhh Shhh! Genevieve is about to get caught in a lie!"

"Oh my god! You and these soap operas... Wait! I don't remember Jeff being so buff!"

“He’s such a player, Laurie. But he can come over anytime he wants!"

"Okay... scoot on over and tell me more about this, Jeff person. Still gonna need to borrow ten bucks, though."
