Marjorie Armstrong quotes from Mom

Marjorie

Christy, if a man won't wait until you're ready to share your secret garden, he's not worth a second of your time.

Bonnie

Secret garden? Holy Moses, how many cats do you own?

Marjorie

Four.

Christy

Marjorie, how many cats do you own?

Marjorie

Oh, you don't own cats. You love them.

Christy

Okay... How many cats do you love?

Marjorie

[pointing and gesturing] Well, let's see. That's Carlos Santana, and that's Grace Slick, and that's Boz Skaggs, and Steve Miller, and these three are the Tower of Power horn section. And this fat little trouble-maker is Jerry Garcia. So... eight.

Regina

Do you know what the worst part of being in prison will be?

Bonnie

Being in prison?

Regina

No, that I won't get to see my son grow up.

Bonnie

Oh... I'm gonna stop talking now.

Marjorie

Don't say it if you don't mean it.

Christy

When did you last see your son?

Regina

Before my trial.

Marjorie

But that was months ago!

Regina

My ex-husband won't let me see him, not that I blame him. He just turned 10. He's going to be a teenager by the time I get out.

Christy

Where's your ex live?

Regina

In Stockton, about a hundred miles back.

Christy

[pause] Hell with it. [turns the car around] We're going to Stockton!

Regina

But I'll be late to turn myself in.

Christy

What the hell are they gonna do, Regina? Throw you in jail?
