Bette Davis credited as playing...
Mrs. Taggart
- Mrs. Taggart: [Suddenly turning to face Shirley] Shirley my dear, would you mind sitting somewhere else? Body odor offends me.
- Shirley Blair: [Looking completely outraged] I DON'T HAVE BODY ODOR!
- Mrs. Taggart: [on being accused of actively hoping Shirley would miscarry] God! *What* kind of a woman do you think I am?
- Tom Taggart: I'll tell you. You wouldn't have been content just knitting away during the French Revolution like the other hags. Oh, no. You'd have been up there working the guillotine yourself! And *then* you'd have gone around with the basket, selling the heads for doorstops!
- Karen Taggart: [Mrs Taggart wants Karen to sign an I.O.U] Will ink do or would you like it in blood?
- Mrs. Taggart: Ink will be fine dear.
- Mrs. Taggart: [Mrs. Taggart to her daughter-in-law Karen, upon hearing the children causing commotion from the kitchen] "They're getting impatient. I know... I've had three chicks of my own. Only three I grant you Karen; natural good manners told me when to put the plug in!"
- Mrs. Taggart: [to her middle son] I promise you, I'll have your skin for rags, and wipe the faces of your children with them!
