Earl Peterson : I don't know nobody named Taffy. I'm busy right now.
Taffy Davenport : Oh, please let me in, Daddy! Open the door!
Earl Peterson : Ah, fucking shut up! Alright already!
Taffy Davenport : [jumping into his arms] Daddy, it's me Taffy, your long, lost little girl!
Earl Peterson : Hey, get off! I ain't your daddy! I ain't even married!
Taffy Davenport : Oh, I know that, but you're my daddy alright. My mother told me. My mother is Dawn Davenport.
Earl Peterson : Yeah, you can stay here awhile. Want a drink?
Taffy Davenport : NO! You don't even believe me, do you?

[belches in Taffy's face]
Earl Peterson : I'm feelin' a little drink, so don't mind me.

Taffy Davenport : Dawn Davenport. You know her.
Earl Peterson : What does she look like?
Taffy Davenport : Fat. Very fat.
Earl Peterson : Yeah, yeah. I maybe remember.
Taffy Davenport : Oh, daddy! I knew you would! Mother's been awful to me. For years, I've suffered. Please let me stay with you. I won't be any trouble. I'll help you clean and we can go out together and maybe... maybe you can buy me some regular clothes.
Earl Peterson : Can you fuck as good as your mother?

Dawn Davenport : Hello, Taffy. Did you miss Mommy? I'm home from the hospital. I'm alright?
Taffy : I was hoping the next time I'd see you would be at your funeral.

Taffy : Hare Rama! Hare Rama!
Dawn Davenport : Stop those chants! You're just trying to get on my nerves now. I would die with embarrassment if you ever dared to link my name with that pack of fools! Think of my career! Why, I'd sooner you be a secretary.
Taffy : Hare Rama! Hare Rama!
Dawn Davenport : I'm warning you right now, Taffy. If I am ever downtown and see you dressed in one of those ridiculous outfits, bothering shoppers, and dancing around like some sort of a fool - I'll kill you. And I mean business!
Taffy : You can't *kill* love, Mother. You can't kill Krishna; because, Krishna is consciousness. Hare Rama!
Dawn Davenport : God! I'll show you consciousness when I knock you unconscious!

Taffy : I wish I'd been an orphan!
Gator : You can tell she's retarded. Look at her face. She has a face of an old woman.
Dawn Davenport : Oh, it's true. Look in the mirror Taffy. For 14, you don't look so good. It's because you've been such a brat all your life, that now all that brattishness is showing in your face. The face of a retarded brat!
Gator : Yes siree, that's a real time warp of a face you got there.
Dawn Davenport : What did you know about anything. Some of the faces I've seen you with could stop a train!

Aunt Ida : Ya little bitch! Get me out of this goddamn bird cage!
Taffy Davenport : Little bitch? Is that all the thanks I get? I gave you a hook, didn't I? Mother will kill me as it is!
Aunt Ida : Who cares about your stinkin' mother? She stole my Gator away. But she ain't gonna get me! And I'll thank you for for this fuckin' hook after I rip her eyes out with it. Give me some grub.
Taffy Davenport : There's no food here! Mother doesn't buy food for me! Do you want an egg? There might be some old eggs in the kitchen.
Aunt Ida : No I don't want no GODDAMN EGGS! I want MEAT and POTATOES!

Dawn Davenport : You want your spaghetti with or without cheese?
Donna Dasher : I'll have two chicken breasts please.
Dawn Davenport : Well, uh, we're not having that, we're having spaghetti.
Donna Dasher : I couldn't possibly eat spaghetti, do I look Italian?
Donald Dasher : We rarely eat any form of noodle. But I'll take a small portion to be polite, with cheese, please.
Donna Dasher : I'll have an extremely large glass of ice-water.

Gator : She's retarded.
Taffy : I am not retarded!
Dawn Davenport : Oh, yes, you are, Taffy. I had you tested when you were a little girl. A staff of doctors examined you. And maybe the reason you don't remember is, that they told me that you are most definitely retarded.

Donna Dasher : Remember Alice Crimmins.

Dawn Davenport : Jesus Christ, Almighty!
Taffy : Mmmmmmmm........................... .
