Quotes5

  • Darcy: God, why can't you just be my mother? Why can't you just crawl in bed with me right now and put your arms around me?
  • Donna Elliot: Well, just what is it you want?
  • Darcy: Just don't be my friend, okay?
  • Donna Elliot: But I am your friend.
  • Darcy: No, I don't want that. I can't. It comes with all these strings. When you're a mother, you just love somebody. That's it!
  • Donna Elliot: Abortion is not a dirty word. It's a simple medical solution.
  • Mr. Babrucz: Hey, you can just forget about abortion! Because, this kid's going up for adoption and that's that!
  • Donna Elliot: Well, obviously you never heard of the word: choice. But, then, why would you? It's not a four letter word.
  • Stan: Why don't we just keep it.
  • Mr. Babrucz: Grow up! You had a gerbil last year, you forgot to feed it, it died. This baby is going up for adoption, period.
  • Donna Elliot: No. Darcy is not going to lug this baby around for nine months and get stretch marks so you could give it up to Catholic charities.
  • Mary Bobrucz: Mom, what are stretch marks?
  • Mr. Babrucz: Stretch marks are the badge of a real woman.
  • [Mrs. Babrucz covers her face, embarrassed]
  • Donna Elliot: [to Darcy] Honey, promise me you're not gonna have this baby! Right now, the whole world is your oyster!
  • Mr. Babrucz: Oh yeah? What about my son's oysters? Huh? He's got this brilliant career ahead of him, designing schools and churches and shit!
  • Donna Elliot: Darcy, you come back here! You are grounded!
