- Poe Batiste: [screaming upstairs] I hate her, I hate her! I wish she was dead!
- Roz Batiste: Eve, what did you do to your brother?
- Eve Batiste: I'm going to push him out of a window if I don't get out of this house!
- Roz Batiste: Eve!
- Eve Batiste: Cisely has been in the goddamn tub for an hour!
- [Mozelle slaps her on the butt]
- Eve Batiste: You know that. She stayed in there for three hours yesterday.
- Roz Batiste: Fortunately there is more than one bathroom in this house.
- Eve Batiste: Ain't that much dirt in all Louisiana. Get out of the damn tub!
- Eve Batiste: Mama keeps stabbing herself in the kitchen! Show her your hands, Mama.
- Roz Batiste: I think you'd better hush...
- Eve Batiste: And where's Daddy? He's never home. He's supposed to be home sometimes!
- Roz Batiste: Listen, you little ingrate. Your father works hard so we can have a house with four bathrooms!
- Eve Batiste: Not every night he's working, I know he's not!
- Roz Batiste: When I first met Louis, I saw him set the leg of a boy who had fallen out of a tree. And I thought to myself, "Here is a man who can fix things. He's a healer, he'll take care of me." So I leave my family, and I move to this swamp, and I find out he's just a man.
- Mozelle Batiste Delacroix: We're two of a kind, my brother and I. One day, he'll open his eyes and see that what he's been looking for is right in front of him. Then he'll stop looking for what he already has.
- Roz Batiste: But what if it's too late?
- Roz Batiste: Which one of your patients you going to see, Louis?
- Louis Batiste: Woman, go get your palm read and let me do my work.
