RhettaSo, what are you going to say to Earl the next time you see him?
Get the hell out of my dream.
RhettaDon't you want to get a list of questions together? I would!
Like what?
RhettaLike: Is Jesus the son of God? Was he conceived by the Holy Spirit? What happens when we die?!
What's the deal with cramps?
RhettaYou said Earl looks like any normal guy from Oklahoma, right?
Yeah. A normal guy.
RhettaThe stain on your shirt was tobacco and saliva, but the saliva had no genetic material in it.
What's that mean?
RhettaIt means that Earl has no human DNA or plant or animal cells.
Well what's that mean?
RhettaHe's another form of life. It means he's an angel, Grace.
Well, shit.
RhettaWhat's up?
Earl cooked me breakfast this morning.
RhettaHe cooked you breakfast?
He's going to be a huge pain in the ass.
RhettaGrace, God has chosen you. God has chosen you. For whatever reason he's given you an angel and you're calling him a pain in the ass. Do you want to get struck by lightning?
How much longer, Rhetta?
RhettaA while. I have grown so weary of discovering new places for semen stains.
I remember once when you spent the night. We were like eleven and Johnny was in charge and we wanted popcorn, but he said no because it was lent. So I made some anyway but put too much butter on it and we both got sick. Remember.
RhettaNo.
Johnny said God made us throw up to punish us.
RhettaJohnny's always been a tightass.
I can't do this anymore. You not talking to me. It's worse than that time in third grade when sister Mildred separated us for a week because we ate all her peanut brittle.
RhettaThat was some good peanut brittle.
I'm sorry, Rhetta. Really truly sorry. I never meant to hurt you.
RhettaAre you sorry for lying, for telling me, or for doing it in the first place?
Yeah. All of that.
RhettaIt wasn't any fun for me, either.
Dewey says I smell nice. How come you never notice things like that?
RhettaAs soon as I get the gasoline and the barbecued human flesh smell out of my nostrils, I'll be sure to sniff you up.
Can you match a hoof print to a specific horse?
RhettaOnly if The Who is playing in the background.
Is that a no?
RhettaThat's a no.
RhettaI don't like this getting shot. So let's say this is the last time, okay? Take it easy!
It's just a bruise.
RhettaA bruise?! For God's sake, Grace, you were dead.
They sedated him. We can't talk to him until tomorrow.
RhettaYou could have shot him. He's lucked you just tackled him.
We tackled a five year old.
RhettaYou thought he had a gun!
Ham looked like he was going to cry.
I think the whole thing was a scam. She just wanted something in writing to make sure I was coming.
RhettaCan you believe Henry accused me of tainting the evidence?
I was shaken down by a nun and all you can talk about is Henry?
Your sister, Mary Frances, chose you to be Clay's Godmother. Do you have any idea why?
No, ma'am.
Rhetta, you knew Mary Frances.
RhettaYes, Sister Laura Marie. Very well, actually.
So, what do you think?
RhettaI think Mary Frances saw in Grace what I see in Grace: someone who loves the people around her more than she loves herself.
Do you know how many bug jokes I'm going to have to deal with now?
RhettaYeah. You used to eat crickets, Grace, and put rolly-pollys on your pizza.
On your pizza. Just once. Okay, three times, that's it.
Rhetta[referring to Father Patrick Murphy] I thought you killed him.
Rhetta, come on, man.
RhettaThank God.
Let go.
RhettaYou scared the shit out of me.
Would you have loaned me your minivan to bury him?
RhettaNo.
I was going to wrap him in plastic so I wouldn't transfer evidence.
RhettaThoughtful.
