  • 'People' Reporter: So, are you saying she was... promiscuous?
  • Mrs. Fisher: "Promiscuous"? She was a teen-aged tramp; she couldn't get enough! She would do it anywhere, anytime, and with anyone! She got knocked up when she was sixteen.
  • 'People' Reporter: Knocked up?
  • Mrs. Fisher: Well, she couldn't take care of it! Had to give that cute little baby boy up for adoption!
  • 'People' Reporter: So you're saying there's a missing member of the Fisher royal clan?
  • Mrs. Fisher: Royal my ass! Her father was a kosher butcher from Hoboken! A lovely man!
  • Ruth Patchett/Vesta Rose: [picks up Mary Fisher's book] Mary Fisher, any relation?
  • Mrs. Fisher: My daughter.
  • Ruth Patchett/Vesta Rose: Oh how nice.
  • Mrs. Fisher: She's a slut. Bitch keeps me in this dogpound while she lives the life of a princess in her gar damn mansion!
  • Ruth Patchett/Vesta Rose: Well that doesn't seem fair.
  • Mrs. Fisher: Yeah I ought to drop in on her one day, that'd scare the shit out of her.
  • Ruth Patchett/Vesta Rose: You have rights, if you wanted to go see your daughter nobody could stop you.
  • Mrs. Fisher: I'm too old.
  • Ruth Patchett/Vesta Rose: You are a mature and vibrant woman, and don't you let anybody tell you anything different.
  • Mrs. Fisher: Yeah? I suppose I could go on Sunday afternoon.
  • Ruth Patchett/Vesta Rose: I'll put you on the train myself, and I'll even call ahead to make sure the butler knows you're coming.
  • Mrs. Fisher: Butler? I'll bet there's hanky panky there.
  • Ruth Patchett/Vesta Rose: Well there's only one way to find out.
