My Louisiana Sky (2001 TV Movie)

Amelia Campbell: Corrina Ramsey Parker

Quotes 

• Corrina : Is the birthday cake ready yet?

  Jewel : Corrina, you've asked me that five times in the last twenty minutes. Tiger can finish the potatoes. You go on upstairs and wash your face.

  Corrina : Yes, Mama. Tiger, you wanna play pin the tail on the donkey?

  Tiger Ann Parker : Not now, Mama. Maybe after supper.

• Tiger Ann Parker : Aunt Dorie Kay!

  Dorie Kay : Why, Tiger Ann Parker, let me get a look at you. You are growing up into such a young lady.

  Tiger Ann Parker : What are you doin' here?

  Dorie Kay : Well, I couldn't miss your grandma's birthday, now could I?

  Tiger Ann Parker : No, mam.

  Corrina : [hugging her]  Dorie Kay, Dorie Kay!

  Dorie Kay : Woah, Corrina, you nearly knocked me down.

  Corrina : Oh, you look just like a picture of a lady in a magazine. Isn't she pretty, Tiger?

  Tiger Ann Parker : Yes, she is.

• Corrina : The words was real hard, but my Tiger read 'em to me. She reads real fine.

• Tiger Ann Parker : Mama, why'd you have to make a fuss and go huggin' me back there?

  Corrina : Did I squeeze you too tight?

  Tiger Ann Parker : Just forget it.

• Tiger Ann Parker : I'm bleedin' from inside.

  Jewel : Go get yourself some rags. You got the curse.

  Tiger Ann Parker : I got a curse?

  Jewel : From now on, you can look forward to it every month till you're too old like me. Then, thank the Lord, it's over. That's the only good thing I can think of about gettin' older.

  Corrina : What's wrong, Tiger?

  Tiger Ann Parker : I got the curse, Mama.

  Corrina : Oh, Tiger, I'm so happy for you!

  Tiger Ann Parker : It's a curse! Grandma just said so. It's a curse.

  Corrina : It's not a curse! It's beautiful! Oh, it's a little messy and sometimes your tummy hurts, but I couldn't have you till I was bleedin' every month, and havin' a baby, havin' you, was the best thing that ever happened to me.

• Dorie Kay : Oh, that is enough, Corrina. Now, it's time for you to get up. Lonnie went to work, and Tiger's got the house looking all beautiful. We got things to do.

  Corrina : Ma's dead. She went to Heaven.

  Dorie Kay : That's right, Ma's dead. But you're not. And Lonnie's not. And I'm not. And neither is Tiger. What kind of mother lies in bed when she has a child to tend to?

• Dorie Kay : I'm gonna take Tiger with me to go pick her up.

  Corrina : Are you coming back?

  Tiger Ann Parker : Of course, Mama. I'll only be gone a few days.
