The fact that a car with front discs and rear drums is stated to need "all new brakes" is suspect. Brake wear between disc/drum and front/rear is usually profound. Most brake force is applied to the front, so it's common, almost standard, that the fronts are gone long before the rears need attention. If someone "inspected" it and didn't show any wear marks or anything like that and tells you it all needs changing, they are probably pulling your leg or at the least exaggerating.
Don't know why the lines or master cylinder would need changing either. If they aren't leaking, they are fine. Ain't broke, don't fix. So many shops just love to replace parts for the hell of it.
I mean I haven't seen your car myself, but I'd be willing to bet you could buy a $100-$200 set of pads and rotors and get the car fixed in about a hour by anybody who knows what they are doing and has the basic tools for the job. Back in the days when rotors were expensive you'd inspect them for wear and even have them resurfaced, but they are so cheap now I always do pads and rotors together.
