Lois Morgan : Ellen... I really wish that you would get married. I really want grandchildren.
Ellen Morgan : [sarcastic] No? Oh my God, I will then!
Lois Morgan : Good, because I want you to carry on what I...
Ellen Morgan : [interrupting; angry tone] Mom, just shut up! For once in your crazy life, just shut the hell up and let me talk without you interrupting me every five seconds! I know you want me to get married. You and Dad say that EVERY TIME we talk! Ever time we talk on the phone... from every birthday card or letter I get from you... it's always: "Ellen, when are you going to get married? When are ya gonna get married? When are ya gonna get married?" Well, here's the thing: I don't need a husband or a man to make my life complete. I'm not going to have the high-paying job you want me to have. I'm not going to date the men you want me to date. I'm not going to wear the clothes you want me to wear. I'm not going to style my hair the same way you style yours. Damn it, stop trying to run my life! It's my life and I'm going to run it my way. Just face it, all those things that you want for me... getting married, having many kids, joining a bridge club... those are the things that YOU want. Stop trying to live your mentally unhinged life through me! I am not you! I will never be you!
Lois Morgan : [shaken] Okay... well who's up for the next round? Shall we... oh, who am I kidding?
[to Harold as she gets up to walk out the door]
Lois Morgan : Come on Harold, let's go home where we don't have to be honest with each other!

Lois Morgan : Oh, you're welcome! I made them without nuts. I figured you see enough of those.

Ellen Morgan : How about you? Do you have anything you want to tell me?
Lois Morgan : Not off the top of my head, no...
Ellen Morgan : Oh c'mon, not even one little white lie?
Lois Morgan : Not all of us are as immersed in deceit as you are, dear.
