Quotes

Bonnie : [at an AA meeting, near tears] I don't even know where to start... okay, I knew this guy... and he burned me really bad... and for years I prayed that he would die. And then last year he came back into my life, and you know what? I still wished he would die. And then somehow, I don't know how... I fell back in love with him... and guess what? He died.
[crying]
Bonnie : I can't do this!
[gets up and storms out]

Christy : [singing as she kicks the bed] I got my own bed! It's no one else's! I got my own bed! I don't have to share!
Bonnie : [screaming across the courtyard] Oh my God, Alvin!
Christy : [groans] Gonna have to hear that every night.
Bonnie : Christy!
Christy : [curious look] Odd choice.
Bonnie : Christy! Help!
Christy : Oh my God!
[runs over to Alvin's apartment, Bonnie's standing by the window wrapped in a blanket, Alvin's lying facedown in the bed]
Bonnie : [half whisper] Alvin's dead.
Christy : What?
Bonnie : I think he had another heart attack. He's dead.
Christy : No!
[feels his neck for a pulse]
Bonnie : I already tried that. He's gone.
Christy : No he's not!
[calls 911]
Christy : I think my father just had a heart attack... no, he's not moving, alright, thanks.

Bonnie : I'm just going over to slap the snot out of Alvin's ex-wife.
Marjorie : Yeah, that's not gonna happen.
Bonnie : Get out of my way, old lady!
[Marjorie loudly slaps her]
Marjorie : [firmly] Sit-down!
Christy : [Bonnie does] Wow, I wish I knew it was that easy.
Marjorie : Bonnie, I know you're grieving, but you have to remember you're not alone, you have a lot of people who love and support you.
Bonnie : You hit me!
Marjorie : And I might again.
