Everyone feels horrible after she storms off.

And she feels horrible because when she does get emotional and raise her voice she thinks she sounds just like grandma.

This line says a lot about Travis Hackett, which is why it's my favorite moment of his from the Quarry. It shows you that he does, in fact, value kindness as a trait in a person. Considering what kind of family he comes from, one that lacked warmth and support (especially from his mother Constance), we can understand why Travis would be complicit in trying to protect his niece from incarceration.

“I can go. Family stuff, I get it.” Diane was already up, half leaning against the arm of the chair as she straightened the wrinkles from her shirt, but after the morning he’d had (after the night he’d had), Chris found he wasn’t ready for her to leave. “C’mon, Kay, you know we don’t do secrets at camp. If you can say it in front of me, you can say it in front of—” “Uncle Trav left something weird on my tablet last night.” Welp. So much for that. He stared at Kaylee. Kaylee stared at him. He turned to Diane. Diane was also staring at Kaylee. He turned back to Kaylee. Kaylee continued to stare at him. The three of them remained in that awful moment for what felt like a lifetime, one of them sitting, one of them standing, one of them somewhere in between, all of them staring. No one said anything. No one did anything. No one moved. And then he realized yeah, uh huh, yup, he was ready to handle this one on his own. She didn’t need to be here for…whatever this was about to be. “Diane—” “Yeah, no, I’m gone,” she said, springing up from the chair with her hands held shoulder-high. “All yours. Have fun.”
