Quotes 

• Tara Thornton : [outside]  Momma, I'm sorry. I didn't wanna tell you all that stuff. 'Cause in spite of everything of everything you've done, there's still some sick, sick part of me that can't bare to see you suffer. And I thought if you found out Ms. Jeanette was a fraud...

  Lettie Mae Thornton : No, girl. There wasn't no fraud. I am living, breathing, thrivin' proof there wasn't no fraud. I'm still healed. Healed stronger than ever.

  Tara Thornton : You are?

  Lettie Mae Thornton : The good lord tested our faith by taking Ms. Jeanette away from us. I stayed true. I wish I could say the same about you. I'll pray for you.

  Tara Thornton : Don't. I'm actually doing better than I have in a long time.

• Lettie Mae Thornton : [about Ms. Jeanette]  She saved my life!

  Tara Thornton : [trying]  Momma? There was no Ms. Jeanette. She was just some woman who worked in a pharmacy. All-All that stuff on the buss wasn't real.

  Lettie Mae Thornton : Don't lie to me!

  Tara Thornton : She told me so herself.

  Lettie Mae Thornton : You don't know what you're talking about!

  [to the Andy and Kenya] 

  Lettie Mae Thornton : She's just sayin's all this 'cause she still angry with me!

  Tara Thornton : No! I mean yes. But no, it's true. She gave me ipecac and peyote and made me think I was killing my demon.

  Lettie Mae Thornton : No, no! It is a sin to speak of the dead like that! She was a good woman!

  Tara Thornton : [still trying]  No, momma. It was a scam. She stole from you and from me. So sorry.

  Lettie Mae Thornton : But she cured me! She cured me. I'm alright now, ain't I? Ain't I still right?

• Eggs : [about MaryAnn]  Doesn't it seem like she's got an endless supply of tropical fruit?

  Tara Thornton : [passing him a joint]  And pot?

  Eggs : Now that I didn't notice. I'd been smoking pot since I was ten. My first kumquat, three months ago.

  Tara Thornton : [laughing]  I thought I was bad. Sneakin' cigarette's when I was twelve.

• Tara Thornton : [crying, about the body]  Please tell me it's not Lafayette. Please.

• Tara Thornton : [to Eggs]  You are a lucky man and since the bartender likes you, the drinks are on the house.
