  Joshua : Yeah.

  Amber : Hnn.

  Joshua : That sounds reasonable. It's an idea.

  Amber : Nothing, and you'll like it!

• Joshua : My mom never noticed I was good at anything.

  Everly : Hm, your mother.

  Everly : Probably takin' drugs in an alleyway somewhere. Oh, geez, what? You're gonna cry now?

• Everly : You take a painting by a particular artist, a lesser known work of little value; you strip it and then paint a forgery of a more valuable work over it.

  Joshua : Really? Like, even famous ones?

  Everly : You better believe it.

• Amber : [wondering about Joshua's flippant attitude over Anne-Marie]  Have you ever taken art history?

  Joshua : Yeah, she is a piece of work.
