Doug Lawrence
- Letitia 'Buddy' Lawrence: [after she is brought home by a policeman and Doug is ready to punish her] Go ahead, say it. You told me I wasn't old enough to take care of myself and I wouldn't listen. So, look what happened.
- Kate Lawrence: I didn't hear him say a word.
- Letitia 'Buddy' Lawrence: Well, he doesn't have to, because none of it was my fault. I didn't do a thing.
- Doug Lawrence: According to the police, that's not altogether true.
- Letitia 'Buddy' Lawrence: Daddy, Julie was doing all the driving. Now, how was I supposed to know that a twenty-one year old would be so irresponsible?
- Doug Lawrence: No good. First, you meant to be treated as a grown-up, then you blame an older girl for being irresponsible. In any case, you will be held accountable for your actions!
- Letitia 'Buddy' Lawrence: [heads to go upstairs] I'm tired.
- Kate Lawrence: Buddy...
- Letitia 'Buddy' Lawrence: Just ground me for the rest of my life! I don't care!
- Doug Lawrence: Does that mean you don't want to be trusted?
- Letitia 'Buddy' Lawrence: I just want to go to bed.
- [heads upstairs]
- Doug Lawrence: The girl's asking to be spanked.
- Kate Lawrence: I think she's asking to be left alone. I don't think you could punish her anymore than she's punishing herself.
- [Willie comes into the house]
- Willie Lawrence: I saw the police car. Is she all right?
- Doug Lawrence: Well, she's in one piece, if that's what you mean. I think she's a long way from all right.
