Quotes 

  • Beth Jarrett : Calvin? Why are you crying? Can I, uh... can I get you something?

    Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : I don't...

    Beth Jarrett : What did you say? Calvin, what did you say? Tell me!

    Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : You are beautiful. And you are unpredictable. But you're so cautious. You're determined, Beth; but you know something? You're not strong. And I don't know if you're really giving. Tell me something. Do you love me? You really love me?

    Beth Jarrett : I feel the way I've always felt about you.

    Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : We would have been alright, if there hadn't been any mess. But you can't handle mess. You need everything neat and easy. I don't know. Maybe you can't love anybody. It was so much Buck. When Buck died, it was as if you buried all your love with him, and I don't understand that, I just don't know, I don't... maybe it wasn't even Buck; maybe it was just you. Maybe, finally, it was the best of you that you buried. But, whatever it was... I don't know who you are. And I don't know what we've been playing at. So I was crying. Because I don't know if I love you anymore. And I don't know what I'm going to do without that.

  • Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : He just wants to know that you don't hate him.

    Beth Jarrett : Hate him! How could I hate him? Mothers don't hate their sons! Is that what he told you? You see how you believe everything he tells you? And you can't do the same for me, you can't! GOD I DON'T KNOW WHAT ANYONE WANTS FROM ME ANYMORE!

    Ward : Beth, we don't want anything from you; Audrey, Cal, Connie and Me, we just want you to be happy.

    Beth Jarrett : Happy! Ward, you tell me the definition of happy. But first you better make sure your kids are good and safe, that they haven't fallen of a horse, been hit by a car, or drown in that swimming pool you're so proud of!

    Audrey : Oh Beth!

    Beth Jarrett : Then, you come and tell me how to be happy!

  • Beth Jarrett : It's really important to try and hurt me isn't it?

    Conrad "Con" Jarrett : Don't you have that backwards?

    Beth Jarrett : Oh, and how do I hurt you? By embarrassing you in front of a friend? "Poor Beth, she has no idea what her son is up to, he lies and she believes every word of it."

    Conrad "Con" Jarrett : I didn't lie!

    Beth Jarrett : You did! You lied every time you came into this house at 6.30! If its starting all over again, the lying, the covering up, the disappearing for hours, I won't stand for it, I can't stand for it, I really can't!

    Conrad "Con" Jarrett : Well don't then! Go to Europe!

    Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : Connie!

    Conrad "Con" Jarrett : No! The only reason she cares, the only reason she gives a fuck about it is because someone else knew about it first!

    Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : Just stop it Connie!

    Conrad "Con" Jarrett : No! You tell her to stop it! You never tell her a goddamn thing! And I know why she never came to the hospital because she was too busy going to goddamn Spain and goddamn Portugal! Why should she care if I'm hung up by the balls out there!

    Beth Jarrett : Maybe this is how they sit around and talk at the hospital, but we're not at the hospital.

    Conrad "Con" Jarrett : You never came to the hospital! How do you know about the hospital!

    Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : Connie! Your mother did come to the hospital, you know she did, she had the flu and couldn't come inside but she came to the hospital!

    Conrad "Con" Jarrett : She never would have had any flu if Buck was in the hospital, she would have come if Buck was in the hospital!

    Beth Jarrett : Buck never would have been in the hospital!

  • Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : [Inside his garage,Calvin Jarrett is just getting out of his car after a counseling session with his son Conrad's psychiatrist, Dr. Berger]  What I'm... gonna say... will sound strange.

    Beth Jarrett : What happened? Come inside.

    Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : Could we talk about Buck's funeral?

    Beth Jarrett : Whaaaat?

    Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : It'll seem trivial. But, it's on my mind and I'd like to talk about it. When I was getting dressed for Buck's funeral...

    Beth Jarrett : Calvin, what's the matter with you?

    Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : Just let me get it off my chest,OK?

    Beth Jarrett : What could getting dressed for Buck's funeral... have to do with anything, right now?

    Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : I was wearing a blue shirt. You said, "wear a white shirt and the other shoes." It was nothing at the time, but, it seemed to stay with me. And I, for some reason, had been thinking about it and it suddenly occurred to me, what difference did it make what I wore to Buck's funeral?

    Beth Jarrett : Uh, huh.

    Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : Just hear me out, Beth, it won't hurt you to listen!

    Beth Jarrett : I won't listen to that. No one in their right mind would listen to that!

    Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : I just want to talk about something I always remembered.

    Beth Jarrett : Why do you want to remind me?

    Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : Because I've always wondered, in some needling way, what it mattered what I wore. I was crazy that day. We were going to our son's funeral and you were worried about what I wore on my feet. I'm sure it sounds like nothing to you, but it stuck with me and I just wanted... to tell you about it.

  • Beth Jarrett : [to her mother about the platter she just broke]  You know, I think this can be saved. It's a nice clean break.

  • Conrad "Con" Jarrett : You woulda visited Buck if he was in the hospital.

    Beth Jarrett : Buck would have never been in the hospital!

  • Conrad "Con" Jarrett : [seeing Beth set the table]  Can I help?

    Beth Jarrett : Help with what?

    Conrad "Con" Jarrett : With... this?

    Beth Jarrett : No. I'll tell you what you can do is go upstairs to that room of yours and clean out the closet.

    Conrad "Con" Jarrett : [still desperately trying to talk with her]  Mom?

    Beth Jarrett : [sensing this, but is afraid]  Okay? Because it really is a mess.

    [they stare at each other in silence for a moment before the phone rings] 

  • Conrad "Con" Jarrett : I made a 74 on a trig quiz.

    Beth Jarrett : Oh really? Gosh I was awful at trig.

    Conrad "Con" Jarrett : Oh. Really? You took trig?

    Beth Jarrett : No... wait a minute... ha, did I take trig? Huh... anyway, I bought you two shirts they're on your bed.

  • Conrad "Con" Jarrett : Give her the Goddamned camera!

    Beth Jarrett : Smile!

  • Beth Jarrett : I want this to be a nice Christmas.

    Calvin "Cal" Jarrett : I do too. I want all of them to be nice Christmases.
