Louise Schmidt: I don't understand. The couch looks good here though, doesn't it? It opens up the whole room.
Nick: Louise, I think what your boy is trying to say is...
Louise Schmidt: Shut it, Nick. Honey, why do you hang out with him? You know Nancy Borkow? Her son just moved to L.A. He wrote a movie script for the movies. I can connect you. You need better friends!
Schmidt: Enough, Mom! You don't get to choose my friends! You don't get to choose anything! Because this is my life! It's my dream and nothing's gonna stop me now! It feels like that's from something. It feels like, it feels like it's from a movie or something.
Nick: [sings] My life
Schmidt: Yeah, I think it's a song.
Nick: It's a song. Like some sort of song, right?
Louise Schmidt: It's the Perfect Stranger theme.
