Jodie Foster credited as playing...
Deirdre Striden
- Deirdre Striden: If only I could be old, old for one day, twenty-five years old. Even a day of problems, a trip to the obstetrician or a marriage counselor, a secret day with a married man. Just to be twenty-five for a flash. That would hold me forever.
- Deirdre Striden: [to Sara, angrily] We DID have faith! Maybe not *your* kind of faith, but we had it, all right! And a little happiness never hurt anyone!
- Philip: On Deirdre's impending death: My mother says you may linger for a while.
- Deirdre Striden: Your mother's a fat bitch.
- Ruth Striden: Deirdre!
- Philip: Oh, that's OK. My daddy's always calling her that.
- Deirdre Striden: [to Philip as the sun beams down on them both] I wish I could see what you'll look like when you're grown-up.
