Sadie Calvano: Violet Plunkett

Quotes 

• Violet : [in Christy's daydream, Violet's daughter is in labor and all the women are taking her to the hospital]  Roscoe, we're leaving!

  [door closes] 

  Old Roscoe : [comes out to the kitchen and sees everyone's gone]  Who's gonna take me to my parole hearing?

• Violet : I think knowing the sex of the baby makes it too real.

  Bonnie : It's not real enough? You're already farting like a lumberjack.

• Christy : The baby shower's going to be great, fun and games and free stuff for the baby.

  Violet : I don't need it.

  Christy : Violet, I'm stealing food from work, trust me, we need it.

  Violet : No we don't.

  Christy : Why not?

  Violet : ...I've made a decision. I'm giving this baby up for adoption.

  [leaves] 

  Christy : I feel like I just got punched in the heart.

• Violet : I don't want to be you.

  Bonnie : You're talking to her, right?

  Violet : I'm talking to BOTH of you.

  [to Bonnie] 

  Violet : You had her when you were my age.

  [to Christy] 

  Violet : You had me when you were my age. If I have this baby now, in 15 years I'll have wasted my life just like you.

  Christy : You think I wasted my life?

  Violet : Mom, you're 35, an ex-alcoholic and you're waiting tables.

  Christy : Well I happen to like my life, I like being sober and I love the relationship I have with my kids.

• Christy : I thought this baby was going to be my second chance.

  Violet : How would that happen?

  Christy : Well, this time I wouldn't be drunk. I wouldn't pass out at a PTA meeting, at the wrong school.

  Violet : [dryly]  Yeah, that wasn't too embarrassing.

• Violet : [explaining why she's giving her baby up for adoption]  I want to go to college, I want a career!

  Christy : You can still have that...

  Violet : Let me finish talking!... And I want my baby to have those same opportunities.

• Violet : [about the crib]  It looks like a cage.

  Bonnie : It is.

  Christy : Mom!

  Bonnie : When your mom was an infant I kept her in a cat carrier.
