- Lora Meredith: Now, just a moment, young lady! It's only because of my ambition that you've had the best of everything. And that's a solid achievement that any mother can be proud of!
- Susie, age 16: [tearfully] And how about a mother's love?
- Lora Meredith: LOVE? But you've always had that!
- Susie, age 16: Yes, by telephone, by postcard, by magazine interviews... you've given me everything... but yourself!
- [Sarah Jane enters carrying a serving tray on her head]
- Sarah Jane: [affected Southern Negro accent] Fetched y'all up a mess 'a crawdads, Miss Lora... fo' you an' yo' friends!
- Lora: Well, that's quite a trick, Sarah Jane... where did you learn it?
- Sarah Jane: [affected Southern Negro accent] Oh, 'tain't no trick ta' totin', Miss Lora! I learned it from my mammy, an' she learned it from ol' massa, 'fo' she belonged to you...
- Annie: Miss Lora, we just come from a place where... where my color deviled my baby. Now, anything here has gotta be better.
- Steve: Your bones...
- Lora Meredith: What about my bones?
- Steve: They're perfect. My camera could easily have a love affair with you.
- Annie: I'd be happy knowin' you're meetin' nice young folk...
- Sarah Jane: Busboys! Cooks! Chauffeurs!
- [Hmph]
- Sarah Jane: Like Hawkins. No thank you; I've seen your "nice young folk".
- Annie: I don't wanna fight with you, honey. Not tonight. I don't feel too good. While I get started on the anchovies, will you take this tray in to Miss Lora and her friends?
- Sarah Jane: [sarcastic] Why, certainly. Anything at all for Miss Lora and her friends.
