Quotes from Melanie Lynskey's Characters

    1. Lurlynn: You know he went up there?
    2. Melanie Carmichael: Who? Jake?
    3. Lurlynn: I'm not supposed to know but Clinton let it slip once.
    4. Melanie Carmichael: When?
    5. Lurlynn: About a year after you left. He told Clinton he'd never seen anything like it. He knew that it would take more than an apology to get you back. He'd have to conquer the world first. He's been tryin' ever since.
