Quotes

Mollie : [looking the dress she wore at her partner's funeral] Oh god! I meet him in it and bury him in it.

Mollie : Can I see it?
[Alice goes to her bag and pulls out a basket]
Mollie : Goddamn my eyes. This is really a tight weave. You did this, all by yourself? I don't know much but... well, I know the old people used to always try for a tight weave. My Auntie used to say that. You know this is nice Alice, people make a lot of money making those things.
[looks at Justine curiously]
Justine : I'm taking up tennis.
-
Mollie : My daughter loved flowers. She loved giving 'em to people. I don't think... I don't think I showed her enough love.
Sherman : We don't gotta show all the time. Some of us ain't good at showing. Don't mean others can't see.
Mollie : You think she sees?
Sherman : Yeah I do.
Mollie : How do you know?

Sheldon : Is Justine where dad is?
Mollie : Yeah.
Sheldon : Can they see us?
Mollie : I guess.
Sheldon : Are they like... in the stars?
Mollie : Yeah. It's up there like that but it's all flowers. It's all flowers and happy like, that place.
Sheldon : Must be lots of people there.
Mollie : Yeah. Like your grandma and her mom, and her mom, and all the way back.
Sheldon : Wow that's lots.
Mollie : Yeah.
Sheldon : And they're all like that? Happy?
Mollie : Yeah.
Sheldon : Then we better be happy and not sad. 'Cause if we're sad and Justine sees us then she'll be sad. And she shouldn't be right?
Mollie : That's right. You're right.

Justine : Who cares?
Mollie : What'd you say? Answer me Justine!
Sheldon : She said 'who cares'.
Mollie : Oh. Maybe I should say that about them huh? Why should I give a shit about either one of yah?
[to Alice and Justine]
Justine : Don't start on her! She shot that gun to save my life. All you care about is your fucking feelings!

Steven : You're not the only who's hurting you know that?
Mollie : Yeah I suppose everyone should feel sorry for you!
Steven : I'm not talking about me! What I did is done. I'm talking about Justine.
Mollie : Justine ain't none of your business.
[walks away]
Steven : Yes she is!
[grabs Mollie and makes her face him]
Steven : She's not a secret anymore! I'm her father and she knows it and nothing you can say or do is gonna change that no matter how much you hate me.
Mollie : Fuck you!
[tries hitting Steven]
Steven : Yeah! Is that gonna help you think!
[grabs Molly]
Mollie : Fuck you!
[begins crying uncontrollably]
Steven : Then go ahead! Go ahead!
[holds Molly as she sobs]
Steven : I'm sorry. We have to find a way to talk to each other.

Mollie : I don't know... sometimes I feel like... I ain't scared no more. You know? I mean, jesus christ what else could happen right? The worst already has. But then I see the empty chair at the table. I open up the closet and see her clothes. And I just sink all over again. Maybe in time I'll get better at pulling myself up.
