Quotes

Judson Prentiss: You're like some fancy kind of disease. I had it once - now I'm immune. Eva Phillips: Don't you look sweet, even in those tacky old riding clothes? Carol Lee Phillips: She'll sting you one day. Oh, ever so gently, so you hardly even feel it. Til you fall dead. Eva Phillips: I'm an outsider. They hate outsiders. Oh, they're polite enough - that's how they are. You don't know the things they've made me do trying to protect myself. And how ashamed I've been sometimes because of them. You don't know how they are. But you'll find out, as I have how they whisper, small talk, laugh! As if you have to be from the South to be any good! Oh, they're so smug, and namby-pamby! I wish I could get rid of them as easy as this trash! [last lines] Avery 'Beauty' Phillips: The sun is shinin'; funny, I didn't expect the sun to be shinin'. Eva Phillips: [about Carol] She doesn't have many friends you know, I suppose it's just her personality. She doesn't even like me. Eva Phillips: [about the doctor tending to her son, Ted] That doctor Pearson is so absurd. He actually trembles when I talk to him. You'd think he'd never seen a beautiful woman before! Jennifer Stewart: What did he say? Eva Phillips: Oh the most extravagant things... Jennifer Stewart: I meant about TED. Eva Phillips: We will have a talk won't we Judd, like old times. I don't like to insist. But I insist. |
