- Grace the Nun: Father, can you come and bless this Virgin
- [statue]
- Grace the Nun: for the lady, please?
- Iris: No no, that's not necessary, please don't bother him ...
- Grace the Nun: That's what he's here for, it's included! Father, are you ready to bless the Virgin or what?
- [The priest comes up to the store counter and picks up the Virgin statuette.]
- Grace the Nun: Oh hang on now, she hasn't got the receipt. How many times do I tell you, don't bless the Virgin until you get the receipt!
- Teen Rosemary: [to her brother William:] Could you get dressed, Willie, I wanna get out of here.
- Grace: Where ya goin'?
- Teen Sweet William: There's a stupid dance at school.
- Grace: You goin' to a dance? Oh, dear God in heaven!
- [to granddaughter Rosemary]
- Grace: Now, you know to count to six?
- Teen Rosemary: What?
- Grace: If you're gonna kiss a boy, you got to count to six while you're doin' it. And then stop! After six it's a sin.
- Grace: [sending her grandchildren off to a school dance. To granddaughter Rosemary.] You got pockets? You carrying your protection with you?
- Teen Rosemary: What?!
- Grace: Started when your father was young. Every party dress had to have pockets.
- [fetches something from her chest-of-drawers.]
- Grace: Now ... Your hands. These'll keep you safe.
- [lowers a rosary into Rosemary's open hands.]
- Grace: Now, you feel some of that ... that hocus-pocus comin' into your body ... you don't have to worry.
