Quotes 

• Deirdre Striden : If only I could be old, old for one day, twenty-five years old. Even a day of problems, a trip to the obstetrician or a marriage counselor, a secret day with a married man. Just to be twenty-five for a flash. That would hold me forever.

• Deirdre Striden : [to Sara, angrily]  We DID have faith! Maybe not *your* kind of faith, but we had it, all right! And a little happiness never hurt anyone!

• Philip : On Deirdre's impending death: My mother says you may linger for a while.

  Deirdre Striden : Your mother's a fat bitch.

  Ruth Striden : Deirdre!

  Philip : Oh, that's OK. My daddy's always calling her that.

• Deirdre Striden : [to Philip as the sun beams down on them both]  I wish I could see what you'll look like when you're grown-up.
