Quotes

Reba : You can't be afraid of ghosts! You're brave! I've seen you eat raisenet off the sidewalk!
Barbra Jean : It was a Junior Mint and I caught it before it hit the ground! Besides what do you know about fear Miss I'm-Not-Afraid-Of-Anything?
Reba : Why does everybody say that I'm not afraid of anything?
Barbra Jean : Because you're not. You're not afraid of the dark or thunder or wearin' pink with red hair. Which is not wise but you do it. You're fearless Reba!
Reba : It's not that I'm fearless, it's just that I think believing in ghosts is silly!
Barbra Jean : Well, you wouldn't think it was so silly if the ghost was after you!
Reba : What are you talking about?
Barbra Jean : If I tell you,you're just gonna make fun of me.
Reba : Barbra Jean I'm already makin' fun of you.
Barbra Jean : Alright if you must know the ghost is after me because I'm a bad person.
Reba : What?
Barbra Jean : I stole your husband, I broke up your family and now I have a way better house than you do!
Reba : So the reason you're afraid of ghosts is because you think they're gonna punish you for what you did?
Barbra Jean : Yeah.

Barbra Jean : Reba?
[Reba puts up her hand to quiet Barbra Jean while she tries to think]
Reba : [Thinks of something] I needed someone to ruin everything for me.
Barbra Jean : Well, yeah, I can see how that was helpful.
Reba : No, no, no, you know what maybe it was! I lived through my biggest fears. My husband left, Kyra moved out and things seemed to be just fallin' apart! You know, nothing gets scarier than that! But because of you I know that I can deal with anything now.
Barbra Jean : Wow
[Touches Reba's knee]
Barbra Jean : I wish I had the kind of courage brought on by a deep personal tragedy.
Reba : Well you married Brock, that's a start!
