Hazel Diaz: Eloise Jackson, Cora Smith

Quotes 

• Eloise Jackson : I want you to love me a lot; but, I don't want you to even think about killing anybody about me. You know, murder is a terrible thing, Lem.

  Lem Jackson : Well, let them think about that when they go lookin' at you. You are mine! I'm puttin' up for you. I've furnished this home, bought you a car, jewelry, and clothes, and everything your heart has desired. And you know that! And it was all for you and me. And I don't wanna catch no handsome dude of a loafer hangin' around here while I'm out. If I should come back here and catch one of them dudes in here, I would strangle him!

• Amanda 'Mandy' Jenkins : What a man! My, my. I think I could like him.

  Eloise Jackson : You could what?

  Amanda 'Mandy' Jenkins : Oh, I mean I think I'd like to cook for him. You know, make him some hot biscuits like I used to make for Miss Hewitts back there in Birmingham. You remember.

  Eloise Jackson : Now, you limit your likes for him to hot biscuits, sister! Cause he's my man and I don't allow no woman lookin' at him like you was lookin' at him jes then or you'll be going back to Birmingham in a pine box. Do you get me?

  Amanda 'Mandy' Jenkins : Yessim. I get ya.
