Mrs. Kelly
- Mick: But Mama! I wanna make somethin' of myself, Mama! I got this feelin' inside me like I was destined for somethin'!
- Mrs. Kelly: We all have that feelin' when we are young. It will pass.
- Mr. Kelly: [to Mrs. Kelly] Margaret. Don't!
- Mick: Well I know it won't be easy but without a high school diploma what chance have I got?
- Mrs. Kelly: The same chance I had: You'll meet some fella and get married. If you're lucky you'll love him. You'll have kids. That's what life is, Mick, that's all it is.
- Mick: You make it sound awful.
- Mrs. Kelly: [watching Mick's party guests leave] Well! There they go. Can't say as I blame them, either.
- [shakes her head]
- Mrs. Kelly: After all you did throw 'em out!
- Mick: Well I don't care! I don't care one little bit! Here I thought they were all so smart and grown-up and everything. And they're not! They're not even as grown-up as me!
