Quotes 

• Charlie Aiken : Mattie Fae, we're gonna get in the car and go home. And if you say one more mean thing to that boy I'm gonna kick your fat Irish ass into the highway.

  Mattie Fae Aiken : What the hell did you just say to me?

  Charlie Aiken : Kids, go outside, would you please? I don't understand this meanness. I look at you and your sister and the way you talk to people and I don't understand it. I can't understand why folks can't be respectful to one another. I don't think there's any excuse for it. My family didn't treat each other that way.

  Mattie Fae Aiken : Oh, maybe cause your family didn't have...

  Charlie Aiken : You better not say anything about my family right now, I mean it! We just buried a man I loved very much. And whatever faults he may have had, he was a good, kind, decent man. And to hear you tearing your own son not even a day later dishonors Beverly's memory. We've been married 38 years and I wouldn't trade it for anything. But if you can't find a generous place in your heart for your own son, we're not gonna make it to 39!

• Mattie Fae Aiken : And look at your boobs. Last time I saw you, you looked like a little boy.

• Violet Weston : Isn't there the TV commercial where the lady says: "Where is the meat?"

  Mattie Fae Aiken : Where is the meat?

  Karen Weston : Where is the beef?

  Violet Weston : [annoyed]  Where's the meat? Where's the meat? Where's the meat? Meat, meat, where is the meat?

• Mattie Fae Aiken : [Little Charles is playing a song to Ivy in the living room; the TV is on... Mattie Fae suddenly enters]  Liberace! Better get yourself together. We have to get home and take care of those damn dogs... they've probably eaten the drapes by now.

  Charlie Aiken : [entering]  I'm sure the house is fine.

  Mattie Fae Aiken : [to Charlie]  Oh look, honey! Little Charles has got the TV on.

  [to Ivy as Little Charles starts stammering] 

  Mattie Fae Aiken : This one watches so much television it's rotted his brain.

  Ivy Weston : I'm sure that's not true.

  Mattie Fae Aiken : [to Little Charles]  What was it I caught you watching the other day?

  Charlie Aiken : Mattie Fae...

  Little Charles Aiken : [stammering]  I... I don't remember.

  Mattie Fae Aiken : You do so remember! Some dumb talk show about people swapping wives.

  Little Charles Aiken : I don't remember.

  Mattie Fae Aiken : You don't remember. Too bad there's not a job where they pay you to sit around watching TV.

  Charlie Aiken : Come on, Mattie Fae.

  Mattie Fae Aiken : [laughing to Ivy about Little Charles]  You know he got fired from a SHOE STORE?
