Janet Lee Dapper: Judy Austin
Quotes
-
Jay Austin : I know I hurt you terribly last night. I was wrong to do that, and I'm sorry.
Judy Austin : You're apologizing to me?
Jay Austin : I am.
Judy Austin : Is something wrong with you?
Jay Austin : There is.
Judy Austin : Jay, are you... are you dying?
Jay Austin : No. No. What's wrong with me is that I have been living for myself. I have not been the husband I need to be. I have not been the father I need to be. I have not been the spiritual leader I need to be. Today I asked God to forgive me. I have gotten myself in a mess in almost every area of my life, and I can't fix it. I admit that I have not been worthy of honor or respect or the love of my family. But I want to be.
Judy Austin : Jay...
Jay Austin : Judy, I'm asking you to pray for me. I need you. I need you terribly. I'm resolving to let Jesus be Lord of my life. Every day.
Judy Austin : You're serious?
Jay Austin : I am serious. I will be honest in my business. I will take responsibility as the spiritual leader of my home. I will love you. I will love Todd. And I will love our baby. So help me God, I will.

Judy Austin : Did Reverend Michaels come by to see you today?
Jay Austin : He did.
Judy Austin : And?
Jay Austin : And he bought a car.
Judy Austin : He did?
Jay Austin : He did.
Judy Austin : And you gave him a good deal, right?
Jay Austin : It's a good deal.
Judy Austin : A good deal for him?
Jay Austin : I see it's time for my nightly interrogation.
Judy Austin : Oh come on, Jay. You've never kept this sort of stuff from me before. What did you charge him?
Jay Austin : $9,000.
Judy Austin : And what did you get it for?
Jay Austin : $6,500.
Judy Austin : That doesn't sound like a deal.
Jay Austin : It was a deal for me.
Judy Austin : Oh, great. So now you're ripping off ministers.
Jay Austin : [Slams his hand on the table] I want you to shut up now. The next time you open your mouth, you only open it to eat, do you understand me?
-
Judy Austin : I thought you were coming home at five.
Jay Austin : I guess I'm late.
Judy Austin : Does it not bother you that you don't keep your word?
Jay Austin : Don't start, Judy.
Judy Austin : Guess not.
-
Jay Austin : Why are you interrogating me? I'm a used-car salesman. I sell cars.
Judy Austin : At dishonest prices.
Jay Austin : That's enough. It shouldn't bother you. I make more money when I sell more cars--you benefit from it.

Judy Austin : I wanna come back tonight for the evening service.

Judy Austin : On a Sunday? Jay!
Jay Austin : I've already tithed my time to church this week.
Todd Austin : Dad, what's a tithe?
Jay Austin : It's when you give money to help the church.
Judy Austin : Or, in our case, an empty envelope so people think we give money to help the church.
Jay Austin : Is that supposed to be funny?
Judy Austin : You know, Jay, I've never really thought it was very funny.
Jay Austin : We've given money before.
Judy Austin : Oh, then I guess we're OK.

Judy Austin : Should he think you're truthful?

Jay Austin : You're not getting anything on the carpet, are you?
Judy Austin : Jay, we've got newspapers and towels down. He's being very careful.
Jay Austin : We've just finished painting the carpet. I wanna do whatever it takes to keep it clean.
Judy Austin : Jay, will you stop worrying about your precious carpet. Nothing's gonna happen to it.
Jay Austin : What's with the attitude?
Judy Austin : I don't have an attitude.
Jay Austin : You do have an attitude. Should I not be concerned about a $4,000 investment?
Judy Austin : Jay, just say the blessing.
Jay Austin : Why don't you say the blessing?
Judy Austin : OK. Dear God, thank you for this food, your blessings, and the precious carpet we're allowed to walk on. May it serve us well in the years to come and be a beacon of hope to all those who live in the house after we're gone. Amen.
Jay Austin : That was lame.
Judy Austin : You're welcome to pray any time you like.
Jay Austin : Thank you for reminding me.
Todd Austin : Dad, will you help me with my project?
Jay Austin : You know, I'm getting kind of tired of this holier-than-thou attitude you've been dishing out.
Todd Austin : Mom, can I have cereal instead?
Jay Austin : Cereal?
Judy Austin : Todd, honey, I thought you liked pizza.
Jay Austin : You want cereal over pizza?
Jay Austin : Yes, sir.
Jay Austin : I don't care.
Judy Austin : OK.
