Trials and Tribulations (2023)

Jennifer Jason Leigh: Lorraine Lyon

Quotes 

• Lorraine Lyon : Well, either you got a screw loose, or somebody came for you and you got away... and now you're lying about it.

  Dorothy 'Dot' Lyon : Mom...

  Lorraine Lyon : No. I'm not your mom. You're married to my son, mother to my granddaughter. I wanted a girl with papers, but my Wayne always liked a sassy thing with a tight caboose, so here you are.

  Dorothy 'Dot' Lyon : Haven't you ever had one of those days? So what if I do got a screw loose? Stress and the like. I'm holding up my end of the deal. We're man and wife, him and me, and he loves me.

  Lorraine Lyon : There are ways we could change that. The holy bond. Revocation of the trust. And cut you both out of the will, see if that moves the marker.

  Dorothy 'Dot' Lyon : What are you saying?

  Lorraine Lyon : I'm saying I don't trust you. You're up to something. And I won't have you dragging my son down. So... best you make excuses, you go back to whoever it is you were before you met. If you go easy, I could even see my way to... staking you for the first... two years.

  [pause] 

  Dorothy 'Dot' Lyon : [loses Minnesota accent]  Listen, bitch... I've climbed through six kinds of hell to get where I am. And no Ivy League royal wannabe is gonna run me off just because she doesn't like the way I smell. If you want to tussle with me... you better sleep with both eyes open. Because nobody takes what's mine and lives.

  [resumes accent] 

  Dorothy 'Dot' Lyon : Anyhoo... thanks for stopping by. Dinner Sunday? I'll bring my blue salad.
