- Violet Weston: Truth is you just can't compete with a younger woman. It's just one of those unfair things in life. Is there a younger woman involved?
- Barbara Weston: Isn't enough on this topic?
- Bill Fordham: Yes, there is a younger woman.
- Violet Weston: Well, see? Odds are against you there, babe.
- Bill Fordham: You're thoughtful, Barbara, but you're not open. You're passionate, but you're hard. You're a good, decent, funny, wonderful woman, and I love you, but - YOU'RE A PAIN IN THE ASS!
- Barbara Weston: What were these people thinking, the jokers who settled this place? Who was the asshole that looked at all that flat, hot nothing, and then planted his flag? I mean, we fucked the Indians for this?
- Bill Fordham: Well, genocide always seems like such a good idea at the time.
- Barbara Weston: Right. Just need a little hindsight.
- Bill Fordham: I have not forsook my responsibilities!
- Barbara Weston: It's "forsaken," big shot.
- Bill Fordham: No, actually, "forsook" is also an acceptable usage.

- Violet Weston: I don't know what to say to an Indian.
- Barbara Weston: They're called Native Americans, Mom.
- Violet Weston: Who makes that decision?
- Barbara Weston: It's what they like to be called.
- Violet Weston: They aren't any more native than me.
- Bill Fordham: If you want me to explain the creepy character of the Midwest...
- Barbara Weston: Please, the Midwest? This is the Plains: a state of mind. A spiritual affliction, like the Blues.
- Barbara Weston: Daddy never said anything like that to you. What a load of absolute horseshit.
- Violet Weston: Horseshit? Horseshit? Oh, horseshit! Let's all say horseshit. Say horseshit, Bill.
- Bill Fordham: Horseshit.
- Jean Fordham: [Barbara slapped her daughter] I hate you!
- Bill Fordham: [to Barbara] What's the matter with you?
