Holly: There's been a misunderstanding. We are not married.
Messer: No. No no no. They tried to set us up on a blind date, and we never made it to the restaurant.
Holly: I don't even know if you'd call it a date. I mean, he was such a dick.
Dunn: I know this is overwhelming, OK? And believe me, I tried to advise them against it. But there are options. You can say no. Because this is a big deal. This is a child. Big commitment.
Messer: Options. You mentioned that there were some other options?
Dunn: Yes. We have Peter's father.
Messer: Oh. Perfect. He'd be perfect, I think.
Dunn: There you go. And there's a few cousins.
Holly: You know what? Officer, can I stop you right there?
Messer: Cousins are always....
Holly: What if one of us, on our own, by ourselves...chose to honor Alison and Peter's wishes on our own?
Messer: Or both of us, hypothetically.
Dunn: Well, they named you, so I just set up a court hearing to grant you temporary custody, and that's it. Now, the finances...the estate will cover the mortgage, but that's about it. They didn't have much in savings. They bought this house as an investment. But, you know, let's not get ahead of ourselves, okay? Let's just focus on Sophie.
Holly: Yes.
Messer: Right.
Dunn: So I suggest the two of you move in here in the interim, for Sophie.
Holly: You want us to live together?
Dunn: Yeah. For Sophie, for now. Until you decide what you wanna do. But it's best.

Holly: We need to establish a sleep schedule. It's very important.
Messer: What?
Holly: I guess. What? What did you say?
Messer: I said they didn't think any of this through. Did Pete say anything to you about this?Or Alison? 'Cause they didn't tell me anything about this.
Holly: Nope.
Messer: This is not the kind of thing you just forget to mention. "Hey, you see that game where Kobe put the juke on that dude then hit the fadeaway jumper? Oh, and by the way, if I die,I'm gonna leave you with my kid." It's messed up.
Holly: Alison was a planner. We are part of a plan.
Messer: You wanna walk me through this plan? Are we supposed to live in this house together?Share the place, both sleep-deprived? Because that sounds like a compelling psych experiment. Assuming you and I can even afford to pay for this place.
Holly: Dunn said the mortgage is covered.
Messer: Well, what about the upkeep? Or the utilities or the taxes? You have any idea what the nut on a place like this is a month? Pete was a junior partner at a law firm. I don't make this kind of cash. And what do you do? You bake scones for a living?
Holly: I run a successful business, Messer. I do pretty well for myself actually.
Messer: Yeah? Well, running a baby is not like running a bakery.
