Reverend Shaw Moore : Were you drinking?
Ariel : No.
Reverend Shaw Moore : Smoking something?
Ariel : No! I wasn't stealing, I wasn't gambling, I wasn't dancing, I wasn't reading books I'm not supposed to! I am late!
Reverend Shaw Moore : Who were you with?
Ariel : Ren McCormick.
Reverend Shaw Moore : I don't want you to see him anymore.
Ariel : Why not?
Reverend Shaw Moore : Because I've heard he's a troublemaker.
Ariel : Just because he hasn't lived in this town for 20 years doesn't make him a troublemaker!
Reverend Shaw Moore : Ariel, I don't know what I'm going to do with you.
Ariel : There ain't nothing to *do* with me, Daddy. You like it or not, this is it. It doesn't get much better.

Ariel : I'm no saint you know. I'm not even a virgin.
Reverend Shaw Moore : Don't you talk like that here!
Ariel : Why not? Isn't this where I'm supposed to come to confess my sins to my preacher? In CHURCH! I ask to be forgiven! Am I?
-
Ariel : [to her father, the town preacher] I just don't know that I believe in everything you believe in. But I believe in you.

Ariel : [Shaw is busily typing in his den, Ariel is in the next room over, studying... Shaw is playing classical music in the background] Daddy? I don't know what came over me.
Reverend Shaw Moore : You know I can't always be with you, Ariel. I can't always look out for you.
Ariel : [getting up and walking to the den] What's the music?
Reverend Shaw Moore : [preoccupied] Oh, it's uh, I think it's Haydn. A chamber piece.
Ariel : And that kind of music is OK?
Reverend Shaw Moore : [somewhat defensive] Well, it's uplifting... it doesn't confuse people's minds and bodies.
Ariel : I don't...
Reverend Shaw Moore : [annoyed] What?
Ariel : I see.
Reverend Shaw Moore : [he calls out to her after she leaves the room] Listen, could you tell your mother to go on to bed? I still have a lot of work to do down here.
Ariel : I will.
[she re-enters the den]
Ariel : Daddy?
Reverend Shaw Moore : [not looking up] What is it?
Ariel : [disheartened] Good night.
Reverend Shaw Moore : Good night, honey.

Ariel : Hey, Ren! When this hat flies in the air, you better have your butt in gear.
