Beth: You seem different. Lighter.
Randall: I know my birth story, Beth. And it's not just being left at the fire station. It's two people. Two imperfect people who both loved me.
Beth: How are you holding up?
Randall: We own a farmhouse by a lake where my dead biological mother grew up and fell in love with her Vietnamese boyfriend. That's how I'm holding up.
Laurel: I was no good as a daughter and no good as a mother. My son is going to grow up thinking I didn't love him. Why couldn't I be good for him?
Mae: You can't keep doing this to yourself. If you don't let the guilt go, it will strangle you.
Randall: How did you know my mother, exactly?
Hai: If I'm being honest, your mother was the love of my life.
Laurel: Jackson is gone. What am I gonna do without him?
Aunt Mae: God can take your pain, my sweet Laurel, but you gotta let it go.
I don't understand how Daddy can hate his own sister. I could never hate you, Jackson. Besides Aunt Mae, you're the only one who understands me.
Laurel

Hai: It's actually yours.
Randall: Excuse me?
Hai: This place, this land, was your mother's. And now it's yours.

Randall
