• Claudette : Everything goes wrong all at once. Nobody wants to help me. And I'm dying.

  Lisa : You're not dying, mom.

• Johnny : Oh, hi, Claudette!

  Claudette : Oh!

  Johnny : Bye!

• Lisa : Denny, look at me in the eyes and tell the truth. We're your friends.

  Denny : I bought some drugs off of him. Things got mixed up. I didn't mean for this to happen!

  Lisa : [crying]  Denny...

  Denny : I don't have them anymore!

  Lisa : What kind of drugs, Denny?

  Denny : It doesn't matter, I don't have them anymore!

  Claudette : It doesn't matter? How in the hell did you get involved with drugs?

  Lisa : Mom...

  Claudette : What? Were you giving them to him, selling them to him? Where in the hell did you meet that man?

  Lisa : [screaming]  What kind of drugs do you take?

  Denny : It's nothing like that!

  Lisa : [screaming]  What the hell is wrong with you?

  Denny : I just needed some money to pay off some stuff!

  Lisa : How much do you have to give him?

  Claudette : This is not the way you make money!

  Lisa : [screaming]  How much?

  Denny : [screaming]  Stop ganging up on me!

  Claudette : Well, it is time somebody ganged up on you for God's sake! A man like that! Where in the hell did you meet a man like that?

  Denny : It doesn't matter!

  Claudette : It matters a great deal! A man holds a gun on you! You almost got killed and you expect me to forget that happened?

  Denny : You're not my fucking mother!

  Claudette : [grabs Denny by the shirt]  You listen, you little boy!

  Lisa : No, stop! No!

  [grabs and hugs Denny] 

  Claudette : Somebody had better do something around here!

• Claudette : If you think I'm tired today, wait until you see me tomorrow.

• Johnny : Are you okay, Denny?

  Denny : I'm okay.

  Johnny : Are you *okay*?

  Denny : I'm okay!

  Claudette : What's okay? He's taking drugs.

• Claudette : All men are assholes. Men and women use and abuse each other all the time; there's nothing wrong with it. Marriage has nothing to do with love.

• Claudette : What are these characters doing here?

• Lisa : Denny, are you okay? What did that man want from you?

  Denny : Nothing.

  Claudette : Oh, that was not nothing!

  Lisa : Tell me everything!

  Claudette : You have no idea what kind of trouble you're in here, do you?

  Denny : I owe him some money.

  Lisa : What kind of money?

  Denny : I owe him some money!

  Lisa : What kind of money?

  Denny : Everything is okay! He's gone!

  Claudette : Everything is not okay. Denny, that is a dangerous man!

  Denny : Calm down! He's going to jail!

  Lisa : Denny, what kind of money? Just tell me!

  Claudette : What do you need money for?

  Lisa : Mom, please! Denny is with me and Johnny!

  Claudette : A man like that! With a gun! My god!

• Lisa : I'm fixing the apartment for Johnny's birthday, but I'm really not into it.

  Claudette : Oh? Why not?

  Lisa : 'Cause I'm in love with Mark, not Johnny. And here I am planning his party.

  Claudette : It's not right, Lisa. I still think you should marry Johnny! Now, you can't live on love. You need financial security.

  Lisa : But I'm not happy! And he still thinks I'm going to marry him next month. He's a fool.

• Mark : Come on, it's clear.

  Claudette : What's clear?

• Claudette : You expect to be happy! I haven't been happy since I married my first husband. I didn't even want to marry your father.

  Lisa : You never told me that!

  Claudette : Well, it's true. All men are assholes.

• Claudette : All that shopping wore me out!

• Lisa : Denny, this is my mom. Mom, this is Denny.

  Claudette : How many people come in and out of this house every day? This is worse than Grand Central Station.

• [to Lisa] 

  Claudette : If I were a burglar, you would be my best friend.
