Gail Emory quotes from American Gothic

Gail

[reading some of Lucas' poetry] My heart sings to you like the joy of a thousand trumpets.

Gail

You know what pregnancy is? It's an uncontrollable tumor growing inside of you. Saps all you strength, has its own agenda. And after nine months it goes into remission and your body rejects it.

Gail

[to Selena, about Lucas] You’re more dead than he is.

Gail

There's a lesson in everything. Isn't that what you said to Caleb? What's our lesson here? What is it that we're supposed to learn from this little adventure?

Lucas

Patience, I guess.

Gail

No. Patience is a virtue. You wouldn't be interested in that.

Selena

Lucas wrote the book on keeping women in the palm of his hand.

Gail

What page are you on?

Selena

Oh, Lucas keeps me in an entirely different library.

Gail

The public?

Gail

You don’t have a heart. You’re not even human.

Lucas

Some would consider that a positive, not a negative.

Lucas

We're meant to be together, you know that.

Gail

No! None of this was meant to happen!

Gail

What's happened to you?

Caleb

I guess I've seen my potential. And I ain't willing to share it. You can't have no baby, Gail.

Gail

Then what? you own my soul?

Lucas

I don't want your soul.
