Quotes[]
- Charlotte: Tomorrow, at the chapel, stand up and say whatever the hell you want. Funerals aren't for the dead. They're for the living. They're to help us survive when it feels like the grief might just kill us. Tommorow's for you, Addison. Do you hear me? Tell whatever the hell you want.
