Quotes 

• Jewel : Damn stupid girl! She'd GIVE it away if I didn't stay on top of her all the time.

• Henry : If I take you to the restaurant, will you come and stay the night in my room?

  Jewel : Oh, Henry, not if front of my boy.

  Henry : "Not if front of your boy?" He's a grown man, for God's sake. Besides that, you've had him out selling cock since he was twelve years old. It ain't like we haven't known each other for awhile.

• Sonny : Hey, Mama. W'don't you just give him some pussy?

  Jewel : Is that any way to talk to your poor mama?

• Sonny : We ALL failures, Mama.

  Jewel : You see, that's easier to say than to live with.

• Jewel : Now you listen to me, bitch, and you better listen good. You don't know Sonny like I do. Y' spend one night with him, you'll think he'd do anything for you. Now, he's that way because I trained him to be that way, so don't you go gettin' no fancy ideas about running off and living happily ever after in Texas City, 'cause he don't care ' damn thing about cha. You still belong to me, girl, and you still do as I say, and if you don't, I'll have you cut and thrown out into the street for the winos, and Sonny won't even know you're gone. Do I make myself clear?

• Henry : You didn't even give the boy a chance.

  Jewel : Don't worry about it. He's doin' what he's best at.

  Henry : Yeah, that's right. Drivin' himself off a cliff, just like you taught him, right?

• Jewel : You could take me out eatin' if you didn't spend all your money guzzlin' whiskey and gamblin', when the only thing you're any good at's losin'.

  Henry : Now, you hold on, woman! We've been through all this before! I don't say nothin' about your ass gettin' fatter by the minute...

  Jewel : Now, you leave my ass outta this!
