Fun Stuff

Quotes:

Dan Broderick: I know this isn't the exact ring you asked for, but I thought it'd be more of a surprise. And you know... I kind of like this one better.
Betty Broderick: [surprised] You liked it better?
Dan Broderick: Well... uhh...
Betty Broderick: [calmly] Yes, you liked it better. And that's what counts, really, I mean, that's what it's all about. You make it, you spend it on what you want.
Dan Broderick: [flabbergasted] Geez, Bets, it isn't like it cost any less.
Betty Broderick: [becoming ballistic] Exactly! So, why not get me what I want? *You* certainly got what you wanted, even though you had to spend an extra 7 grand to get it when you wanted it!
Debbie Broderick: [frightened] Can you guys just cool it?
Dan Broderick: [smirking] It's Christmas. If your Mom wants to behave like a spoiled brat, let's let her.
Betty Broderick: What kind of person gets his wife a Christmas present she *doesn't* even want?
Dan Broderick: [calmly, while clutching Betty's wrist as she holds the ring box] It's a beautiful ring.

Awestruck..., 19 December 2000

"I have regrets but no remorse". I always get chills when I think of Ms. Baxter speaking these words as the character of Betty Broderick, a woman who has just murdered her ex-husband and his new bride. Her portrayal as a neurotic woman, scorned, blows the mind!! She breaks all stereotypes of the wholesome Elise Keaton from the 70's sitcom, Family Ties. She's an awesome actress! It's a very entertaining movie!
