• [first lines] 

  Trudie : [narrating]  I'm not crazy. I'm a long way from crazy. Doing one crazy thing does not make a person crazy, though I have to admit this isn't how I expected to be spending my Christmas... and I'm sure it's not how David Martin planned on spending his.

  [to David who is walking down a snow-covered road in the middle of nowhere] 

  Trudie : So, you've been walking for what, about an hour? And you've gone exactly 1.8 miles and the nearest gas station is 20 miles away - you do the math. Look, why don't you come back to the house, we'll make some hot chocolate, okay?

  [David climbs into Trudie's car] 

  David Martin : You... are... the devil!

• Trudie : There may not be such a thing as a perfect job, a perfect life or a perfect family, but there is such a thing as a perfect moment. So I take back what I said. Doing one crazy thing probably does make you crazy, but it also can make you happy.

• [Trudie attempts to abduct David using Taj's antique pistol] 

  David Martin : What the hell is that?

  Trudie : It's a gun.

  David Martin : Are you sure?

• Trudie : Oh, Lucy, I completely blew the interview. I can't believe I have to go home today; there's going to be no place to hide. My mother wanted this to be a special Christmas so she rented a cabin in the middle of nowhere. We're going to be trapped like "The Shining."

• Trudie : I still have one more chance for survival - Nick's coming with me.

  Taj : Table 2 wants their check. Table 2.

  Lucy : What? That's a little fast, isn't it?

  Trudie : Well, it's been a couple of months. Besides I have nothing to offer these people - no husband, no grandchildren. My dad even thinks I'm a lesbian.

  Lucy : So you're using Nick to get your parents off your back.

  Trudie : Yes - No! He's just great at first impressions. I don't know what you have against him.

  Lucy : I guess elitist jackasses aren't my type; they aren't yours, either.
