Lucille: What did he mean? He's not using you in his show, is he?
Buster: Yes, because I'm a good assistant, and unlike you, I know how to keep a secret. I can't believe you told Warden Gentles about our family secrets.
Lucille: Look, you wanted to get out for the parade, but I drank too much, okay? This is why you don't go to rehab. I lost all my tolerance. But I tried to fix it. That's why I wanted Michael to expose that I was to blame. How was I to know he'd point the finger at himself? But it worked.
Buster: Mother, I know the truth now. I always thought you pushed Mimi down the stairs, and you made me take the blame. I got it backwards. I pushed Mimi down the stairs. And you made me take the blame. That's the same. But I want to thank you for that. You were just trying to protect me. Can you imagine how weird I would have turned out if I thought I did it? [chuckles]
Lucille: I really can't.
